A systematic review and meta-analysis of the risk of microbial contamination of aseptically prepared doses in different environments.

TL;DR: Systematic review of microbial contamination rates about preparation of individual and batch doses using aseptic techniques within pharmaceutical (controlled) and clinical (ward and theatre) environments concluded that contamination rates in clinical and pharmaceutical environments were commonly found to be unacceptably high.
Journal ArticleDOI

Systematic review and meta-analysis of the risk of microbial contamination of parenteral doses prepared under aseptic techniques in clinical and pharmaceutical environments: an update

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic review was conducted to test whether aseptic preparation of parenteral doses or additives to sterile doses undertaken in dedicated pharmaceutical rather than clinical environments reduces the risk of microbial dose contamination.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improved aseptic technique can reduce variable contamination rates of ward-prepared parenteral doses.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined whether different aseptic techniques affect the contamination rates of intravenous doses prepared on hospital wards and concluded that appropriate training and experience in a septic techniques should be embedded into routine clinical practice to reduce contamination rates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Factors that influence Staphylococcus epidermidis growth in parenteral nutrition with and without lipid emulsion: A study framework to inform maximum duration of infusion policy decisions

TL;DR: No evidence was found to support the specific recommendation to restrict the maximum infusion duration of lipid containing PN to a greater extent than lipid free PN, and factors affecting Staphylococcus epidermidis growth in PN were identified.
