“…Up to 15% of PICCs were removed for complications before the end of treatment. The overall rate of failure is at the upper limit of the ranges of failure rates previously reported for TIVADs in cancer patients, which range from 5% to 15% . This observation should not be attributed to the high risk of PICC failure in our cohort, but to the long and uniform follow‐up of our cohort, as confirmed to the longer time to failure when compared to other reports (see below).…”

Objective Many patient deaths have been reported because of administration of contaminated intravenous medicines due to incorrect aseptic techniques. Our aim was to review the literature for (1) incorrect practices in aseptic drug preparation and administration and (2) recommendations for safer practices in hospitals. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed covering [2007][2008][2009][2010][2011][2012][2013][2014][2015]. Studies were included if they concerned aseptic medicine preparation and administration in hospitals by different healthcare professionals, assessed incorrect practices and made recommendations for safer aseptic preparation and administration.Results 26 studies were included of which 19 were original articles. 12 of the studies concerned description of incorrect practices that led to contamination. The studies reported 11 incorrect practices that increased the risk of contamination of parenteral medicines. The most reported incorrect practices were multiple use of phials and syringes (2/12 studies) and lack of overall disinfection during the aseptic preparation and administration (3/12 studies). 22 practices were recommended to avoid contamination, which were classified into six categories: equipment and medicines (7); disinfection (6); working environment (3); storing (3); catheter care (2) and quality of prepared medicines (1). The results indicate that pharmacists prepared syringes with less contamination than nurses because of the pharmacist's aseptic skills and environmental aspects in pharmacy units. Conclusions The review discusses many appropriate and enhanced practices in aseptic drug preparation and administration. As the change for the better in contamination rates of administered medicines seems to be challenging to achieve in hospitals, better and possibly international procedures for safe parenteral practices need to be developed.

“…15000-mal pro Jahr. Hierbei besteht ein nicht zu vernachlässigendes Kontaminationsrisiko [92], das sich möglicherweise durch den Einsatz vorkonfektionierter Spritzen verringern lässt, die sterile Kochsalzlösung (NaCl 0,9 %) enthalten [16,72]. Leider haben die kommerziell erhältlichen Spülspritzen den Nachteil unangenehmer Geschmacksensationen bei einigen Patienten, sodass die Kinder lernen, zwischen "gutem und bösem Kochsalz" zu unterscheiden.…”
