Systematic review and meta-analyses of the effect of lipid emulsion on microbial growth in parenteral nutrition
2016, Journal of Hospital InfectionCitation Excerpt :Parenteral nutrition (PN) is of great value to patients with intestinal failure, but can cause severe morbidity, and even death, when inadvertently contaminated with microbes.1–7
Improved aseptic technique can reduce variable contamination rates of ward-prepared parenteral doses
2013, Journal of Hospital InfectionCitation Excerpt :Aseptic techniques are required to manipulate central venous lines and prepare doses for intravenous administration, but poor techniques may lead to contaminated doses and infected lines. It is not always easy to link contaminated doses directly with CRS, but, for example, administration of contaminated parenteral nutrition has repeatedly been reported to lead to deaths: 13 in Johannesburg, South Africa in 19901 and another eight in 1992;2 two in Manchester, England in 1994;3,4 six in Bloemfontein, South Africa in 2004;5 three in Mainz, Germany in 2010;6 and nine in Alabama, USA in 2011.7 Intravenous dose preparation can be undertaken in pharmacy aseptic services operating to defined standards, or in clinical environments such as hospital wards.
