AB  - Prevention  of  infection  in  patients  undergoing  interventional  procedures  remains  a  top  priority  of  the  interventional  pain  physician.  Proper  techniques  and  standard  precautions  must  be  strictly  adhered  to  prevent  infectious  complications  in  patients  receiving  interventional  procedures  ranging  from  peripheral  joint  injections  to  the  implantation  of  devices  such  as  spinal  cord  stimulators  and  intrathecal  medication  delivery  systems.  Infectious  complications  include,  but  are  not  limited  to,  epidural,  spinal,  or  subdural  abscess;  paravertebral,  paraspinous,  or  psoas  abscess;  meningitis;  encephalitis;  sepsis;  bacteremia;  viremia;  fungemia;  osteomyelitis;  local  subcutaneous  infection;  hardware  infections  causing  removal  of  expensive  equipment;  or  discitis.  The  risk  of  infection  may  be  reduced  by  identifying  patients  who  are  at  increased  risk  for  infection,  adhering  to  the  standard  of  care  for  reducing  the  risks,  and  considering  prompt  interventions  to  improve  outcomes  after  infectious  complications.
