Particle Counting in Parenteral Solutions
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Pharmaceutical companies are manufacturers of both solid and liquid formulations. Solid formulations may be tablets, dry powers, confectionary and solid injectables; liquid formulations may be eye drops, ointments, I.V. and other parenteral solutions. Parenteral solutions are packed as large volume parenteral (LVP) solutions, small volume parenteral (SVP) solutions and dry powders requiring reconstitution as either LVP or SVP.

Hazards of parenteral treatment: do particles count?
After prolonged parenteral nutrition a 12 month old infant died with pulmonary hypertension and granulomatous pulmonary arteritis. A review of necropsy findings in 41 infants who had been fed parenterally showed that two of these also had pulmonary artery granulomata, while none of 32 control patients who died from sudden infant death syndrome had similar findings. Particulate contaminants have...
متن کاملCalcium Chloride in Neonatal Parenteral Nutrition: Compatibility Studies Using Laser Methodology
INTRODUCTION We have previously reported results of precipitation studies for neonatal parenteral nutrition solutions containing calcium chloride and sodium phosphate using visual methods to determine compatibility. The purpose of this study was to do further testing of compatibility for solutions containing calcium chloride using more sensitive methods. METHODS Solutions of Trophamine (Braun...
متن کاملCalcium Chloride and Calcium Gluconate in Neonatal Parenteral Nutrition Solutions without Cysteine: Compatibility Studies Using Laser Light Obscuration Methodology
There are no compatibility studies for neonatal parenteral nutrition solutions without cysteine containing calcium chloride or calcium gluconate using light obscuration as recommended by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP). The purpose of this study was to do compatibility testing for solutions containing calcium chloride and calcium gluconate without cysteine. Solutions of TrophAmine and Prem...
متن کاملCalcium Chloride in Neonatal Parenteral Nutrition Solutions with and without Added Cysteine: Compatibility Studies Using Laser and Micro-Flow Imaging Methodology
BACKGROUND Previous studies of compatibility of calcium chloride (CaCl2) and phosphates have not included particle counts in the range specified by the United States Pharmacopeia. Micro-flow imaging techniques have been shown to be comparable to light obscuration when determining particle count and size in pharmaceutical solutions. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to do compatibility t...
متن کاملCompatibility of intravenous ibuprofen with lipids and parenteral nutrition, for use as a continuous infusion
There is increasing interest to administer ibuprofen as a continuous infusion instead of a traditional bolus for treating Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA). However, its compatibility data with commonly used drugs in the neonatal period, including parenteral nutrition (PN) and lipids is unavailable. The aim is to determine the compatibility of intravenous ibuprofen lysine with various ANZNN parent...
