Article Synopsis
- Exposure to light during parenteral nutrition (PN) leads to the formation of harmful hydroperoxides (HPO), which can be particularly dangerous for pediatric patients.
- A study evaluated the effectiveness of using photoprotection devices, such as opaque syringes and overwraps, to minimize HPO formation when PN is exposed to light.
- Results showed that using opaque syringes reduced HPO by 14% and opaque overwraps by 40% after 420 minutes of light exposure, suggesting that photoprotection during PN administration is advisable, especially for vulnerable patients.
