Association between Urinary Metabolites and the Exposure of Intensive Care Newborns to Plasticizers of Medical Devices Used for Their Care Management

Association between Urinary Metabolites and the Exposure of Intensive Care Newborns to Plasticizers of Medical Devices Used for Their Care Management

Care management of newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) requires numerous PVC (PolyVinyl Chloride) medical devices (MD) containing plasticizers that can migrate and contaminate the patient. We measured the magnitude of neonates’ exposure to plasticizers (di-ethylhexylphthalate (DEHP)...
