[QUOTE="nightjazz, post: 224006, member: 43302"] (Note Bene, your mileage may vary.) 50 years as a Registered Nurse and Nurse Anesthesiologist, I seldom saw anyone follow the 30 second scrub and 30 second wait for the alcohol to evaporate prior to an injection. Typically swipe and inject in a few seconds. Never saw nor heard of an injected site that did not contain a foreign object (IV catheter generally) left in the injection site having a local infection. Use of alcohol soaked pads to clean injection sites is a sacred cow left from preantibiotic days when needles were large and reused with limited cleaning between uses. I do think that cleaning vial tops with alcohol using the prescribed 30 second rule is a good idea, skin prep not as necessary. As I said above, YMMV. I do not swab skin prior to trimix injection but I do clean vial. [/QUOTE]
