Advantages
By using B. Braun IV filters the overall complication rate could be reduced by 10%. Using IV filters also make financial sense: the length of ICU stay can be decreased by almost one day / patient which represents a 23% drop – a substantial economic advantage because additional patients a year can be admitted. In a study, this led in turn to an increase in revenue because no patients had to be turned away due to lack of capacity.1,2
