Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC)

Has anyone seen PIPAC implemented in a facility that they work? This new procedure utilizes WAGD inlets to evacuate the aerosol chemotherapy drug from the body. The facility utilizes an inline filter to remove the drug before entering the WAGD inlet. I am hoping to get some feedback of how this is or isn’t affecting the WAGD piping and/or vacuum pump.

I haven’t seen or heard of this, but I would be interested to know how much of the medication is still aerosolized and pulled into the piping system even after whatever filter they run it through. Knowing how nasty some of that stuff can get I would have my reservations.

Thanks Bob – had not heard of this procedure before.
