“…Blood transfusion occasionally causes jaundice from causes other than hepatitis, incompatibility and intravascular haemolysis (James, 1954). Sevitt (1958) reported transient jaundice in sixteen injured patients shortly after blood transfusion.…”

This is a critical review of the reports of postoperative jaundice and liver necrosis that have been published during the past twenty-five years. Postoperative liver damage has the following causes: transmitted, provoked, or coincidental viral infections; acute sepsis and septicaemic states; blood transfusion; widespread vasoconstriction with hypotension lasting more than twenty-four hours; allergic reactions to antigenic substances; alleged "hypersensitivity" to drugs to which antibodies cannot be identified; the direct effects of certain therapeutic agents on the liver; surgical trauma to the liver and its appendages; and postoperative pancreatitis. Several of these factors may operate simultaneously in the patient recovering from a surgical operation and in these circumstances it is impossible to dissociate one particular cause from the others. The syndromes of viral hepatitis and drug "hypersensitivity" are indistinguishable. Both are associated with fever, skin rashes, leucopenia, arthralgia, cholestatic jaundice, and liver necrosis with a mononuclear infiltration of the liver. Both are peculiar to man and the time interval between the exposure to risk and the appearance of jaundice varies from less than seven days to more than three months. The development of immunity to the one or desensitization from the other is not universal. There is no inhalational anaesthetic agent in common use which comes within the definitions of directly or indirectly hepatotoxic substances. The pharmacological methods of screening inhalational anaesthetic agents for hepatotoxidty have always been reliable and there is no reason to doubt their efficacy at the present time.

“…Hecker (1980) measured thrombus formation associated with seven types of cannula made of polyethylene, polypropylene and types of Teflon and found a significant difference of greater than two-fold in the amount of thrombus formed. Greater experience in performing venepuncture decreases the incidence of ITP, (James 1954). Watt (1977) was concerned that the trauma of insertion provides bacterial access to the circulation.…”

A retrospective study was conducted for a period of two years from January to December 2011 before the implementation of a special protocol and from January to December 2012 after the implementation of the special protocol to reduce the rate of Intravenous thrombophlebitis. The study only included all peripheral IV site inserted to patients above 12 years old. In October 2011, a special protocol(integrated intravenous care) was approved by the Infection control committee of the hospital to be implemented in order to reduce the rate of intravenous thrombophlebitis and the protocol was implemented starting January 2012.The average rate of intravenous thrombophlebitis for year 2011 was 6.8% before the implementation of the special protocol and the rate reduced to 3.1% in year 2012 after the implementation of the special protocol. Continuous monitoring was done and it was found that from January to June 2013 the rate reduced further to 2.52% .Therefore the special protocol that was implemented managed to reduce the rate of intravenous thrombophlebitis in KPJ Seremban.
