Drug concentration and infusion set influence the overall particulate contamination of pediatric infusion protocols. The use of multi-lumen infusion sets could prevent such incompatibilities. Our goal was to define and assess a new way to infuse these drugs during leukemia treatment in children. PROCEDURES: This in vitro study focused on a pediatric multidrug protocol for patients diagnosed with lymphoblastic leukemia and receiving allogeneic transplantation. Different vancomycin concentrations were tested to infuse incompatible drugs simultaneously without any particle formation (optimized multidrug protocol). A dynamic particle count test was used over 24 hr to evaluate the overall particulate contamination of our standard and optimized multidrug protocols, using both a standard and a multi-lumen infusion set. RESULTS: No visible particles were detected on a decreased vancomycin concentration compared to the standard dose. For the optimized multidrug protocol, the use of a multi-lumen infusion set reduced overall particulate contamination by 68%, compared to the standard infusion set (P = 0.002). Large-sized particles were significantly reduced when using the multi-lumen infusion set approximately 60% (P = 0.027) and 90% (P = 0.009) for particle sizes ≥10 μm and 25 μm, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that a large number of particles can be administered during parenteral multidrug infusion. The choice of drug concentration and/or the type of infusion set may reduce this. Further studies are required to evaluate adverse clinical effects.Show less >
