Global IV In-Line Filter Recommendations

创建于2024.05.16
Learn how IV filter recommendations differ between clinical societies.
"Clinical guidelines are meant to help ensure that patients receive appropriate treatment and care. Guidelines summarize the current medical knowledge, weigh the benefits and harms of diagnostic procedures and treatments, and give specific recommendations based on this information. They should also provide information about the scientific evidence supporting those recommendations (1)."

After the occurrence of two deaths and at least two cases of respiratory distress related to calcium phosphate precipitation, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) suggested in 1994, the use of a 1.2 micron air-eliminating filter for lipid-containing products and a 0.22 micron air-eliminating filter for lipid-free products (2). In the following 30 years, several national and international organizations developed their own recommendations by reviewing the increasing scientific evidence regarding the potential benefits of IV filters.
This blog summarizes the current situation around the globe by comparing eight guidelines and their recommendations regarding the usage of IV in-line filters.
