Strict adherence to basic principles of aseptic technique is necessary to avoid transmission of hepatitis C (HCV), hepatitis B (HBV), and HIV when preparing and administering parenteral medications. Several outbreaks of HCV and HBV have been documented within ambulatory care facilities in the United States, including a recent report by the Associated Press on February 27, 2008 of a clinic in Nevada in which as many as 40,000 persons may have been exposed to HCV. A preliminary joint investigation has identified the re-use of syringes (not needles) and the use of single dose vials of anesthesia medication on multiple patients as the potential sources of contamination.
