From: Dynamic Image Analysis To Evaluate Subvisible Particles During Continuous Drug Infusion In a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Figure 2

Number of particles in BPN bags at the start of infusion and at the egress of the catheter during a 24-hour infusion for neonatal protocol (1) (Fig. 2a) and (2) (Fig. 2b). The findings are presented in the form of boxplot, highlighting a significant increase in the number of macroparticles ≥10 µm and 25 µm between the initial particulate matter in the infusion bag and at the egress of the infusion over 24 hours, with either neonate protocol. Only the particulate load ≥10 µm for protocol 2 did not significantly differ, despite an upward trend in the number of particles during infusion (P = 0.064). NS P > 0.05, *P ≤ 0.05, **P ≤ 0.01.
