Inadvertent contamination of intravenous infusionscan have serious consequences:

• Particulate Contamination – Arisesfrom a variety of sources, intrinsicallyin infusate and equipment, andextrinsically due to manipulations.Studies have demonstrated thatparticles may cause phlebitis.1

• Entrained Air – Results fromdegassing of solutions, incompletepriming, or with disconnection.Entrained air is especially problematic on central line, leading to air emboli.2

• Microbial Contamination – of IV administration systems arisesinadvertently due to manipulations.3

Some bacteria can grow rapidly in infusion fluids, increasing theinfection risk.4,5
