Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To control the quality of cleaning and sterilization of rent instruments and to secure medical safety of patients undergoing operations.METHODS We randomly chose 60 pieces of rent instruments and divided them into two groups,machinery wash group and hand wash group.Occult blood test was performed before and after washing and rinsing.RESULTS Positive rate of occult blood tests was 86.67% before either machinery or hand wash.While after machinery wash and hand wash it was 0% and 6.67%,respectively.Both wash methods had significant effect on depleting occult blood(P0.05).CONCLUSIONS Hospitals must enhance the management of rent instruments cleaning which is of poor quality at present by regulating the procedure and monitoring methods so as to ensure the quality of rent instruments cleaning and secure patients safety.
