Environmental hygiene monitoring and management in blood purification center / 实用医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze themonitoring results of environmental hygiene inthe Blood Purification-Center and explore the management. Methods Hospitalinfection control personnel carried on the environmental hygiene monitoring in the blood purification center from 2010 January 2010 to December 2014. A total of 656 sampleswere examined , with monitoring covering airindex , surface of objects , hands of medical staffs and dialysis water. The infections from temporarydouble lumen catheteration were analyzed during the period. Results Of the 656 examinedsamples, 613 were qualified, with the overall pass rate of 96.4%. All the monitoring samples basi-cally achieved the qualified standard, with zero detection rate of the pathogen. The temporarydouble lumen catheterinfection rate was decreased from 8.6% to 3.4% during the period andthe difference was statistically sig-nificant between 2014 and 2010 (χ2 = 7.73, P < 0.01). Conclusion Strengthening the environmental hygiene monitoring may help increase the dialysis treatment and nursing work , decrease the infection rate of temporary dou-ble lumen catheter in hemodialysis patients and improve their quality of life.
