ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of small package plastic ampoule products in preventing bacterial contamination of injectable drugs.Methods A retrospective study was carried out.In August 2015,78 first-line nurses in our hospital were recruited to the observation group using convenience sampling method,and the other 78 first-line nurses in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were selected as the control group at the same period.The control group utilized glass ampoule products in intravenous infusion of drugs,while the observation group utilized plastic ampoule products.Recorded the incidence of bacterial contamination of injectable drugs and sharp instrument injury.Results The incidence rate of bacterial contamination of injectable drugs in the observation group (1.3 ％) was obviously lower than that in the control group (10.2 ％),there was statistically significant difference (P＜0.05).The times expended in opening and identifying ampoule products in the observation group were (20.42±3.22)s and (28.40-4-4.20)s,which were significantly shorter than times expended in the control group[(40.20±4.10)s and (34.20±t5.21)s],there were statistically significant differences (P＜0.05).No sharp instrument injury was observed in the observation group,and the incidence rate of sharp instrument injury in the control group was 5.1 ％,the incidence rate of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion Clinical application of plastic ampoule products can shorten the nurses operating time,effectively prevent the bacterial contamination of injectable drugs,and reduce the occurrence of sharp instrument injury during operation.
