Complete Shielding of Multivitamins to Reduce Toxic Peroxides in the Parenteral Nutrition: A Pilot Study (C SMART-PN, Pilot)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Photo-protection and Standard Care for Parenteral Nutrition and 6 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 35 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine if a new and simple method involving complete photo-protection of multivitamins only (since sampling through infusion) will result in a significant reduction of peroxide contamination of parenteral nutrition compared to standard method of parenteral nutrition preparation and infusion in extremely preterm infants.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The MV solution is delivered from producing companies in amber vials. The MV will be sampled by the pharmacy technician in a syringe that is photo-protected with a white label indicating the subject study name, protocol number and the infusion rate. The MV will be transported to the unit in the same photo-protected syringe. In the neonatal unit, this syringe will be installed in the pump and connected to photo-protected extension duration.
This group will receive the standard practice of PN compounding in the pharmacy followed by infusion in standard infusion kit available in Sainte-Justine's Hospital.
