Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To investigate bacterial contamination of throat spray in different patient groups before and after using it and explore the satisfactory disinfection methods for decreasing the rate of hospital acquired infection.METHODS The methods were used in accordance with Disinfection Technology Criteria.We compared the germicidal effect of five kinds of methods.RESULTS Bacterial contamination was very serious after using throat spray,many bacteria,even pathogens,as well as the normal flora from the region of nasopharynx had been found there.Bacterial contamination was more serious in ENT department patient than in endoscopy patient after using throat sprays.Burning,alcohol,iodophor and disinfectants containing iodine with alcohol were better than oxidized potential water method on disinfection effect.CONCLUSIONS Much attention should be paid to the contamination of throat spray,selecting the most effective disinfection methods,hospital infections caused by invasive manipulation could be prevented when correct methods are adopted.
