Abstract:
Objective To carry out bacteriological analysis between re-used and disposable oxygen humidification devices. Methods Reused oxygen equipment and disposable oxygen moisture bottles from 6 randomly selected elderly wards were collected, patients who used oxygen will be randomized into 3 groups, group A used cold water as the oxygen humidification liquid, group B used distilled water as humidification liquid, group C used AQUAPAK disposable oxygen humidification devices, sample taking in group A and group B happened on every Monday and Thursday before the replacement of sample moisture bottles, sample was taken in group C after the use of disposable oxygen humidification devices, according to "hospital disinfection health standards" (GB5982-1995)sampling method of disinfection liquid sample was taken and sent to test in the disinfectant laboratory. Results Of 61 samples in group A bacteria cartier rate was 81.97%, bacteria carrier rate of 71 samples in group B was 47.89%, of 52 samples in group C the carrier rate was 0. The comparing of bacterial contamination rate of three kinds of oxygen moisture bottles after using was statistically significant. Take group A, B for comparison, the average severity level of bacteria in group A is higher than group B. In group A, the level of the Gram-negative bacteria as well as Gram-positive bacteria colonization was higher than group B. Conclusions Whether use of cold water or distilled water, oxygen humidification liquids have different degrees of pollution. Currently there is no general criteria and norms in the context of sterilization of oxygen humidification, for patients on long-term oxygen using, to choose disposable oxygen humidification device to reduce the incidence of hospital infections is recommended.
