Hemolysis markers of blood administered in non-valved peripherally inserted central catheter

Objective: To evaluate the change in hemolysis markers in packed red blood cells, administered by gravity infusion in non-valved PICC lines, according to different sizes. Methods: Experimental study carried out in laboratory under controlled conditions of temperature and humidity. The sample had 36...

Description
Summary:Objective: To evaluate the change in hemolysis markers in packed red blood cells, administered by gravity infusion in non-valved PICC lines, according to different sizes. Methods: Experimental study carried out in laboratory under controlled conditions of temperature and humidity. The sample had 36 blood aliquots from 10 packed red blood cells bags with A positive blood type; gravity infusion was used in six 3 French (Fr) PICC and in six 4Fr PICC, totaling 12 experiments divided in three moments: Basal, Free Flow and Controlled Flow. Degree of hemolysis, total and free hemoglobin values, lactic dehydrogenase and potassium were analyzed. Results: There was an average increase of free hemoglobin (p=0.01) and degree of hemolysis (p=0.01) after Free Flow infusion, with 0.04 average elevation of potassium (p
