In hospitals, clinics and other medical and health places, medical equipment is used very frequently. However, frequent operation and contact will easily lead to the breeding of various bacteria and viruses on medical equipment, thus affecting the therapeutic effect and health of patients, and may even lead to cross-infection. Therefore, it is very necessary to do a good job in disinfection and cleaning of medical equipment in daily work.
I. The importance of disinfection and cleaning
1. Avoid cross-infection: By regular disinfection and cleaning, bacteria and viruses attached to the equipment can be effectively killed, and the risk of pathogen transmission can be reduced.
2. Improve the quality of medical care: Clean and tidy medical instruments help to improve the work efficiency of doctors and make patients feel more at ease in receiving treatment;
3. Protect the health and safety of staff: It is particularly important for operators to reduce the risk of occupational exposure.
Second, the specific implementation methods
1. Disinfectant wiping method:
Select an appropriate disinfectant (such as 75% ethanol), apply cotton swabs or gauze evenly to the entire handle surface, keep it moist for a certain period of time, and then take it out to complete the primary cleaning process.
It is worth noting that direct contact with eyes and other sensitive parts should be avoided during use to avoid unnecessary irritation or injury.
2. Ultraviolet irradiation method:
Place the items to be treated under UV lamp and select them according to different materials.
Appropriate power and distance to determine the best exposure time (usually not less than ten minutes). This method is suitable for plastic products that cannot withstand high temperature conditions.
3. High temperature cooking/baking method:
For metal parts, deep sterilization can be carried out in this way. The specific method is to put the object to be processed into a pot, add water and heat it to the boiling point for several minutes, then naturally cool it and take it out for later use; Or put in a microwave oven to bake at an appropriate temperature for a corresponding period of time until the internal temperature reaches a set value.
Third, matters needing attention:
1. Different materials require different treatment processes, so it is necessary to confirm the properties of the target object in advance before deciding the scheme;
2. Before executing any program, the surface dirt residue must be removed to obtain better results;
3. Operators should wear personal protective equipment such as protective clothing, masks and gloves to ensure that they will not be potentially harmed.
4. For some special purposes, such as the tools used in the operating room, you need to go through a more strict and standardized sterilization process before you can put them into use.
In short, the correct and scientific and reasonable control measures can not only effectively prevent the occurrence probability of hospital-acquired incidents, but also be one of the necessary means to ensure the safety of people's lives and the stable development of society, which deserves our great attention!
