ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the role of ultraviolet fluorescence detection technology in personal protective equipment education (PPE) and training.Methods:A study was designed to inspect the risk of self-contamination during PPE doffing between 77 healthcare workers. Used a fluorescent tracer slurry which put on the hands, chest, abdomen, knees to simulate the contaminations. Self-contamination of scrubs and skin was measured using ultraviolet light visualization respectively.Results:According to the uv-fluorescer simulating study, 43 (55.8%) of the medical staff had contamination after the removal of PPE, and the main sites of contamination included: left side of the abdomen 11 (11.70%), left side of the chest 9 (9.57%), left forearm 6 (6.38%), left foot instep 6 (6.38%), neck 6 (6.38%), right shoulder 5 (5.32%), etc. Among them, the frequency of simulated fluorescence pollution in the group with working years less than 6 years was less than that in the other groups, and the difference was statistically significant compared with the group of 11-15 years ( t value was -3.685, P value was 0.001 ). Conclusion:Ultraviolet fluorescence labeling detection technology can directly, quickly and effectively evaluate and feedback the key contaminated parts in the process of using PPE, which can provide detailed evidence for redesigning PPE and improve the PPE training process to reduce the contamination.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the methods and effects of multimodal and phased protective training for medical staff against Ebola.Methods The 4 stages of the protective training include the theoretical teaching,track type simulative process train-ing,simulative ward training,on-site training.We combined the 4 protective training stages and made 4 protective skills assessments in sequence.Results The average scores and qualified rates of the medical staff in the second,third,fourth assessment increased significantly comparing with that in the first assessment.The qualified rate reached 100% in the fourth assessment and we realized zero infection during the mission.Conclusion Multimodal phased protective training reinforced the protective skills of medical staff.Zero infection of medical staff needed seamless supervision in work time eventually.
ABSTRACT
The medical contingent of Chinese PLA to libera operated the China Ebola treatment center(ETC) with 100 beds,and employed 80 Liberian health workers according to the task requirements and the normal operation demand.Under consideration of current health education situation and epidemic prevention requirements,combined with experiences in the fight against SARS,the training content includes the Ebola prevention and control knowledge,isolation of patients and safe burial,malaria prevention and control knowledge,hospital disinfection technology,psychological intervention.Training methods diversified,with theoretical teaching,site visit,on-site demonstration and training and video guide.With the pass of the simulation training evaluation model in all staff,the expected goals of pre-service training have been achieved.
