12 to 18 hours is probably all. How old is the infant and does it have a
healthy weight for its age?
Your pt should express after the FSA, and discard that milk. To be safe, she
could discard the next, but after that, there should be little Fluorescein in
the breast milk.
We have done FSA procedures before on infants that are premature - small
amounts of Fluorescein shouldn't have a big impact on a baby - unless they have
serious allergy issues.
And of course, a hospitalized infant should not be exposed to light therapy for
at least 12 hours after significant exposure to fluorescein.
We have followed this procedure for years and have not heard of any negative
repercussions.

Subject: [optimal] nursing and FA
As my grandaughter is graduating high school this year, it has been a long time
since I've had to deal with nursing infants.
Having said that, we have a severe PDR patient who is nursing, and really needs
a fluorescein (per MD).
Does anyone have a protocol for how long the infant should not be nursed after
the angiogram? The plan is to have the patient pump and stock up, but for how
many days?
Any help is appreciated!!!
