ABSTRACT
Questionnaires were distributed among 200 medical students regarding safety precautions observed while perfonning various invasive procedures during their clinical posting. Only 106 students responded with the completed questionnaire. The most common procedure performed by the students was drawing of blood, with an average frequency of 60.8 per month. Sixty-one per cent of the students reported being injured during the various procedures and only 3 5.5% of them used gloves. Resheathing the needle was responsible for causing injury to 69% of the students, which was significantly higher than injuries occurring while entry into the vein or withdrawing the needle (p<0.05).
