Investigations of the Centers for Disease Control into postoperative infections have implicated extrinsically contaminated propofol.
To evaluate the infectious risk associated with intravenous anaesthetic agents, we surveyed the literature from 1971 to 1995 using the Medline database. Papers covering infections related to intravenous anaesthetic agents were included.
The review of the literature on infections associated with propofol and other intravenous anaesthetics shows that this infectious risk is minimal and often caused by breakdowns in aseptic techniques.
We conclude that, if standard hygienic precautions are taken, the risk of in-use contamination of intravenous anaesthetics is low. If strict hygienic guidelines are followed in handling propofol, this agent can be safely administered to patients.
疾病控制中心对术后感染的调查表明丙泊酚受到外部污染。
为评估静脉麻醉剂相关的感染风险，我们使用医学在线数据库（Medline）检索了1971年至1995年的文献。纳入了涉及静脉麻醉剂相关感染的论文。
对丙泊酚及其他静脉麻醉剂相关感染的文献综述表明，这种感染风险极小，且通常由无菌技术失误导致。
我们得出结论，若采取标准的卫生预防措施，静脉麻醉剂在使用过程中被污染的风险较低。若在处理丙泊酚时遵循严格的卫生指南，该药物可安全地给予患者。
