Paula, has anyone tried illuminating Fluorescein-laden breast milk with 500
nm light ?

 

You could try doing this for milk expressed at certain intervals after IVFA,
to try and get a ballpark for the safety margin.

 

Just sayin',

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.

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!!!
