1. How have you dealt with compatibility issues regarding giving ACLS meds and the lipid rescue? Are there any issues?
2. Do you include a filter with your lipid rescue kit (i.e., 1.2 micron or 5 micron inline filter)?

Thank you for your time!

I recommend contacting the Intralipid manufacturer to double check for the need to use a filter when running lipid alone. The need for a filter is generally related to the use of lipids in TPN; which has the risk of precipitation (Ca-Phos).
