Hi Terry

Here’s a good one for you.
In a study of solutions used in an emergency department,

15.4% of 669 bags were colonised after connection to the administration set
but prior

to patient connection (Carrasco

*et al. *2004).

Carrasco JAP, Prieto IC, Escorza JG, Sanchez JLA, Sanchez MMC, Bouza MR.
(2004)

Physico-chemical stability and sterility of previously prepared saline
infusion

solutions for use in out-of-hospital emergencies.

*Resuscitation **62*, 199-207.

Best regards, Claire

*Professor Claire Rickard RN PhD*
