Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to find the best methods for flushing catheters and TIVADs after administering lipid emulsions (LE) to reduce residual fat, enhancing the safety of long-term nutrition treatments.
- - Researchers tested different flushing speeds and methods using saline after injecting soybean oil LE, finding that certain combinations significantly reduced leftover LE in the tubing.
- - Key findings suggest using at least 10 mL of saline immediately after LE administration, followed by over 240 mL of TPN solution, is effective; smaller tubing sizes led to better elimination of residual LE.
The aim of the present study was to use a quantitative fluorescence imaging technique to evaluate the invisible amount of residual lipid emulsion in port chambers flushed with various fundamental protocols. Chambers were filled with lipid emulsion containing indocyanine green and then flushed with 5-70 mL of normal saline. Chambers were flushed at various speeds (15-60 mL/min), with a time interval of 1 or 3 s between boluses, and with varying directions of flow.
