Objective To investigate the application of fundamental cause in the preparation of surgical instruments.Methods The fundamental cause analysis method was used to analyze the situations of improper preparation of surgical instruments in the operation room to analyze the fundamental causes and work out countermeasures.The preparation of surgical instruments before and after the implementation was compared.Result The qualification rate of surgical instruments increased from 96.0％ before the implementation to 98.6％ after the implementation,with statistically significant difference (P＜0.001).Conclusion The fundamental cause analysis can help the operation room to find out the problems in the surgical equipment preparation process so as to improve the working procedures and the qualification rate of prepared surgical instruments.

OBJECTIVE To make clear the germicidal efficacy of a large-sized pressure-stream disinfector for(bedclothes) used in the hospital.METHODS The carrier-ration sterilization experiment and local disinfection(experiment) were used to test the germicidal efficacy of pressure-stream disinfector for microorganism being on the contaminated bedclothes.RESULTS Operating the disinfector at the 105℃ for 5 minutes,its killing rate of Staphylococcus aureus,Escherichia coli and Candida albicans on bedclothes was 100%,the natural killing rate of(surface) of bedclothes exceeded 99.28%.CONCLUSIONS The pressure-stream disinfection is an excellently(effective),economical and environment protective method,it deserves to be used widely.

Objective To investigate the method of disinfection and sterilization of ventilator tubes and accessories in order to increase the sterilization quality of them. Methods 120 ventilator tubes and accessories from ICU and emergency department were randomly dividied into the control group,and the study group. Bacteriologic tests were conducted in the two groups. Results There was significat differ-ence in bacteriologic tests between the two groups. Conclusions It is necessary to research into steriliza-tion method of ventilator tubes and accessories.
