Our hospitals are now colonized with superbugs that are difficult to treat and cure. High bed occupancy rates, high levels of temporary nursing staff or low cleanliness scores no longer have significantly higher rates. Royal Hampshire Hospital in UK has claimed to have eliminated MRSA bloodstream infections by stopping the routine practice of administering intravenous cannula.

Many doctors claim a high success rate for inserting cannulae, but may still require several attempts to get it right in certain cases. In emergencies optimal attention to aseptic technique is not always feasible and multiple punctures are more likely to result in introducing bacterial infection. 60% of doctors insert cannula in 1st attempt, and 90% at the end of 2 years. Poor aseptic technique, failure of antiseptics to kill pose danger of introducing antibiotic resistant bacteria into a vein by doctors and nurses result in bacteraemia and death.

Biocides (disinfectants and antiseptics) are universally used in hospitals to decontaminate skin before introduce cannula through the skin are said to help spread bacteria. Although aseptic technique is critical to obtain reliable results, it is infrequently taught and audited. Skin cleaning is often incomplete, & many attendants still palpate with non-sterile gloves the veni-puncture site before needle insertion. 58% of healthcare workers are said to be colonized with MRSA.

Hand washing has now been linked to dermatitis, increased bacterial count in hands and colonization of antibiotic resistance developing in the hands of healthcare workers. Study found that dry nurses' hands were twice as likely to be colonized by bacteria. Some bacteria with a genetic pre-disposition to resistance to antibiotic properties will survive. When these resistant bacteria divide, they pass their resistance on, creating entire colonies of antibiotic-resistant bacteria colonized in the healthcare workers hands.

"Your life is in our hands",so as doctors we have invented an alternative to "Do No Harm"

This is a life saving procedure. 80% of patients who are admitted to hospital will get one inserted. We use them them to give fluid and drugs. Antibiotic resistant bacteria lives on your skin, using alcohol or antiseptic we clean the skin but now the bugs are resistant to this.

Doctor / nurse take 2-3 attempts to place a tube. This technique is designed to reduce the number of attempts to reduce you getting infected in hospitals.

very nice

I mean if you are trying to enhance drugs, I say to you, be no removed. But be thou cleanesed from all unrighteousness. The Lord sayeth unto you to be thou cleansed and you shall be saved.

What were they trying to inject? Coccain or what?
