Preventing contamination of propofol infusions

Target-controlled infusions of remifentanil and propofol during laparoscopic cholecystectomy

We have had this study to evaluate the clinical profile of target-controlled infusion-based anesthesia using remifentanil and propofol. 116 ASA I-II patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LCH) were enrolled. TCI Remifentanil was set at 8 micrograms. L - 1 as target and TCI propofol at 4 mcg/ml throughout the whole procedure. The hemodynamics during induction of anesthesia an...

Propofol emulsion and bacterial contamination.

Package insert information provided with propofol advises prompt administration following its drawing-up. This study has examined the delays which occur between drawing-up and administration of propofol in clinical practice and the incidence of bacterial contamination occurring under such conditions. Two hundred and fifty-four clinical uses of propofol were examined. Mean elapsed times (range) ...

Preventing vincristine administration errors: Does evidence support minibag infusions?

Although vincristine sulfate is indicated for IV use only, it has been inadvertently administered intrathecally. Accidental vincristine administration via the spinal route (intrathecally via a lumbar puncture or intraventricularly via an Ommaya reservoir) causes rapid sensory and motor dysfunction, usually followed by encephalopathy, coma, and death (Schulmeister, 2004). Autopsy findings includ...
