All too often the fruits of modern medicine are blighted by
avoidable infection when patients on whom technical skills have
been lavished die or lose a benefit they might otherwise have
enjoyed. Although such a loss is expensive both in terms of human
tragedy and of wasted time and resources, scant attention is paid
to its prevention compared with that which goes into the
development and use of the advanced techniques which so often bring
infections in their train. The intravascular route for biochemical.
pharmacological, nutritional and other physiological support and
monitoring necessary to patients undergoing many of the demanding
modern medical procedures opens a channel through which infection
all too easily finds a way. When it does it may be unsuspected and
un detected until too late by those whose attention is fixed on the
end they seek while forgetting that the means they use can produce
preventable disease. The largest medical use of the intravascular
route is for 'intravenous therapy'. Lip-service is paid to the idea
that this carries a significant morbidity and mortality, but
surprisingly little has been done to measure its incidence or
design measures to avoid it. In the early 1970s, the medical and
pharmaceutical professions, and the lay public, were startled by
the realization of the microbiological threat to patients infused
with products which had been subject to manufacturing error in
their design or pro duction."
