Performance

 

Inadvertent Contamination of Intravenous Infusion Solutions Can Have Serious Consequences

  • Particulate contamination arises from a variety of sources, intrinsically in infusates and equipment or extrinsically due to manipulations1. Particles cause phlebitis on peripheral infusion lines and have serious systemic effects, damaging the lung and solid organs by irritation of the endothelium and by deposition in the microvasculature2.
  • Microbiological contamination of IV administration systems arises inadvertently due to manipulations3. Some bacteria can grow rapidly in infusion fluids, increasing the infection risk4
  • Endotoxins have serious effects on the inflammatory and coagulation systems. They are released by Gram-negative bacteria and have been shown to penetrate conventional IV filters4. Only filters that retain endotoxins can safely be used for more than 24 hours5.
  • Entrained air can arise from infusion solutions degassing, incomplete priming or disconnections. Air can be particularly problematic on central lines, leading to air embolism, which can be fatal6.
