  3. Background: Particles and intravenous therapy • Particulate contamination during intravenous therapy has been described for many years [1]. • In an intensive care setting it has been estimated that up to one million particles per patient per day may be infused [2] Different effects are proven [3,4,5]: • Embolisation • Thrombogenic effects • Immunomodulation • Impairment of microcirculation [1] Garvan JM & Gunner BW. The harmful effects of particles in intravenous fluids. Med. J. Austr. 1964. 41 (2):1-6. [2] Mehrkens HH. Klin Anasthesiol Intensivther. 1977 (14):106-13. [3] Walpot H.

Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine Dept. of Pediatric Cardiology and Intensive Care Medicine Prof. Dr. med. A. Wessel

  4. Origin of particles 1. Drug incompatibility reactions • Account for 20% of all medication errors and up to 90% of administration errors • Impair efficacy of administered drugs or increase risk of side effects, even formation of toxic compounds • on ICU, coinfusion of two drugs is uncertain in up to 45% of instances in which the compatibility of drug combination is unknown Taxis K, Barber N. Eur J Clin Pharmacol. 2004; 59: 815 – 7 Vogel Kahmann I. et al. Anaesthesist. 2003 52: 409 – 412 Kähny-Simonius J. Schweiz Rundsch Med Prax. 1993; 82:1320-7 Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine Dept. of Pediatric Cardiology and Intensive Care Medicine PD Dr. med. H. Bertram

  5. Origin of particles 2. Incomplete reconstitution of drugs or particles inherent to drug formulation • Generic formulations of antibiotics have been found to be heavily contaminated with particles • Parenteral nutrition admixtures: enlarged lipid droplets arise from emulsion instability and calcium phosphate precipitates occur 3. Arise from components of the infusion system (e.g. three way taps, roller pumps a.o.) Sendo T. et al. J Clin Pharmacy and Therapeutics. 2001; 26: 87 – 91 Driscoll DF et al. Clinical Nutrition. 2005; 24: 699-700 Lehr H.-A. et al. Am J Respir Crit Care Med. 2002; 165: 514–520 Driscoll DF et al Clinical Nutrition. 2006; 25(5): 842-50 Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine Dept. of Pediatric Cardiology and Intensive Care Medicine PD Dr. med. H. Bertram

  6. Origin of particlesAggravating factors for particle formation • Quantity of administered drugs and complexity of infusion regimen [1,2] • Lack of available intravenous lines [3] • Lack of incompatibility information for administered drugs or their formulation [3] [1]Jack & Brent et al. Intensive Care Med (2010) 36:707–711 [2] Mehrkens HH. Klin Anasthesiol Intensivther. 1977 (14):106-13. [3] Schroder F.

  7. Electron microscopy of used in-line filters • 20 Filters of different patients were examined after 72 hours use on our PICU • Average number of particles found on the surface of the membrane was 542/cm2. • More than 20% of the examined filters showed signs of beginning blockage by particles retaintion Jack and Brent et al.; Intensive Care Med. (2010)

  8. Electrone microscopy 70%of the demonstarted particles were larger than a pulmonary capillary Particles from a filter membrane after 72 hours use in a 17 yaer old girl after aortic valve replacemant.

  11. Clinical Data about the influence of intravenous particles Deleterious effects of particles on microperfusion in different organ systems after ischemia and reperfusion (Lehr et al. 2002 and 2008; Walpot et al. 1989) Reduction of thrombophlebitis after elimination of particles with infusion filters (Falchuk et al. 1985; Chee und Tan 2002) Increase of typical neonatal complications like inflammation, sepsis and enterocolitis (van Lingen et al. 2004) Chee S& Tan W (2002: Reducing Infusion Phlebitis in Singapore Hospitals Using Extended Life End-Line Filters.

  13. Prospective, randomized clinical trial for the use of In-line filtration in critically ill childrenStudy design • Prior to the study: Optimization of infusion regimen to prevent precipitation and incompatibilities of drugs and solutions • Randomization of pediatric intensive care patients to either control or interventional group • Interventional group receiving in-line infusion filters throughout complete infusion therapy (all solutions and medications), open label • Primary endpoints: Reduction in incidence of severe defined complications (SIRS, sepsis organ failure, mortality and thrombosis), study was powered (80%) for a reduction in the overall complication rate Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine Dept. of Pediatric Cardiology and Intensive Care Medicine Prof. Dr. med.

  21. Summary • Particulate contamination of infusion solutions are not a threat, but represent an additional risk for intensive care patients • Particles seem to influence immune reaction • SIRS, Length of stay and length of MV was significantly reduced in the interventional group by the use of in-line filtration • Therefore ifiltration offers a new therapeutic option to reduce complications on ICU • Ongoing analyses focus on subgroups and economic aspects of filter use Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine Dept. of Pediatric Cardiology and Intensive Care Medicine Prof. Dr. med.
