| dc.description.abstract | A major proportion of injections administered in India are unsafe. Unsafety is due to (1) steps that are associated with increased risk of spread of blood borne viruses and (2) errors related to technique of injection and faulty habits. Recommendations of Indian Academy of Pediatrics revolve round the following points: Equipment related, safe injection practices, best injection techniques, rational injection practices, prevention of needle stick injuries and reducing disease transmission recommendation for HIV-PEP (postexposure prophylaxis), HBV-PEP, disposal of syringes and sharps. The points have been discussed elaborately. | en_US |
