Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Propofol, 2,6 diisopropylphenol, in an emulsion formulation (Diprivan), has been associated with postsurgical infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Moraxella osloensis and Candida albicans. These organisms were individually inoculated into each of the following media: (1) the emulsion preparation of propofol, (2) Intralipid 10%, (3) pure 2,6 diisopropylphenol, and (4) trypticase soy broth (TSB). The organisms were incubated and subcultured hourly for eight hours at room temperature. Propofol supported the growth of all three organisms, but for S. aureus and M. osloenis, the growth rate was slower in propofol than in TSB (P less than 0.05). There was no difference between the growth rate of any organism in propofol than in Intralipid 10%. The authors conclude that propofol, in the emulsion formulation, supports bacterial growth and, therefore, must be prepared for administration in an aseptic manner. Also, by administering propofol soon after preparation, the risk of introduction of a significant inoculum to the patient will be reduced. |
