Capacity of Infusion Lines for Insulin Adsorption: Effect of Flow Rate on Total Adsorption.
Jennifer L Knopp Nee DicksonKaia BishopTheodore LeriosJ Geoffrey ChasePublished in: Journal of diabetes science and technology (2019)
Material capacity for insulin adsorption is not constant, but increases with decreasing flow. Different materials have different adsorption capacities. In low flow and low concentration contexts, such as in neonatal or pediatric intensive care, insulin loss to adsorption represents a significant proportion of daily insulin delivery, which needs to be accounted for.
