概括
医院工作人员的手机普遍被病原体污染. 虽然多耐药生物体 (MDRO) 的患病率很低,但危险行为,如在患者附近频繁使用手机,需要改善感染控制和定期消毒设备.
科学领域:
- 与医疗保健相关的感染
- 微生物学 微生物学
- 预防和控制感染的预防和控制.
背景情况:
- 手机在医院中是必不可少的,但可以隐藏与医疗保健相关的病原体.
- 在黎巴嫩之前的研究中,没有研究过医疗保健工作人员手机上的多药耐药生物 (MDROs).
研究的目的:
- 评估黎巴嫩医疗保健工作人员手机上MDRO的流行情况.
- 评估医院工作人员的相关卫生做法和风险行为.
主要方法:
- 一项涉及166名参与者 (医务人员和行政控制) 的横截面观测研究,在一所大学三级医院进行.
- 对手机扫描片进行微生物学分析,检测出耐美西林黄金葡萄球菌 (MRSA) 和扩展谱β-乳糖酶 (ESBL) 生产的Enterobacteriaceae.
- 行为问卷评估卫生习惯和手机使用模式.
主要成果:
- 100%的手机显示受到污染.
- 检测到一个MRSA和一个ESBL产生的Enterobactercloacae (1.2%的总体MDRO流行率).
- 高风险行为很常见,包括在患者面前使用手机 (85.6%) 和不经常消毒手 (9.6%).
结论:
- 医院工作人员的手机普遍受到污染,在年轻儿科临床医生的设备上发现了MDRO.
- 经常出现的高风险行为凸显了加强感染预防教育和严格遵守卫生协议的必要性.
- 加强手部卫生和定期消毒手机是减少病原体传播的关键互补策略.

4.6K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) occur in a healthcare facility while a person receives care for another ailment. This category also includes work-related infections among healthcare staff.
HAIs significantly increase the cost of health care. Extended stays in healthcare institutions, increased disability, increased costs of medications, including specialized antibiotics, and prolonged recovery times add to the patient's expenses and the healthcare institution and funding bodies.

6.4K
Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

Standard precautions are the minimum infection control safeguards used while caring for all patients, irrespective of their disease condition. They help prevent the spread of common infectious microorganisms to healthcare workers, patients, and visitors in all healthcare settings.

42.5K
Bacterial signaling can occur within bacteria (intracellular) or between bacteria (intercellular). At times, a group of bacteria behaves like a community. To achieve this, they engage in quorum sensing, the perception of higher cell density that causes changes in gene expression. Quorum sensing involves both extracellular and intracellular signaling. The signaling cascade starts with a molecule called an autoinducer (AI). Individual bacteria produce AIs that move out of the bacterial cell...

Transmission-based precautions are for patients known to be infected or suspected to be infected or colonized with organisms that pose a significant risk to others. Some transmission-based precautions include contact, enteric, and droplet.
Contact Precautions:
Contact precautions are the measures taken to prevent the transmission of infectious agents, especially epidemiologically important microorganisms such as MRSA or influenza, primarily transmitted through direct or indirect contact with an...
