Objective To understand the current situation of reprocessing reusable sterilized items in the central sterile supply departments(CSSD)of hospitals and provide a scientific basis for further standardized management.Methods Using the convenience sampling method,a self-designed questionnaire on the current situation of reprocessing of reusable disinfection items in CSSDs was used to conduct a survey in 31 provinces(autonomous regions and municipalities)from June 11th to 23rd,2024.The questionnaire covered 2 aspects,including the basic situation of the hospital and the reprocessing of disinfection items.Results A total of 1 835 questionnaires were distributed,and 1 603 valid questionnaires were retrieved.Regarding the use of reusable disinfection items,with the most frequently used items being humidification bottles,tourniquets,breathing bags and their accessories,and ventilator tubing systems etc.Among them,1 558 hospitals(97.19％)established standardized disposal procedures,and 996 hospitals(62.13％)assigned dedica-ted personnel to be responsible.In terms of the reprocessing procedures of reusable disinfection items,all 1 603 hospitals carried out drying process for the items;the main packaging method was plastic self-sealing bags(59.95％),and 541 hospitals(33.75％)sterilized the packaging materials.Additionally,935 hospitals(58.33％)used oil-free air compressors;among them,51 hospitals(58.62％)installed activated carbon filters at the end of the compressors.Conclusion The current situation of reprocessing reusable sterilized items in CSSDs of nationwide hospitals needs improvement.It is recommended to strengthen the training of professional disinfection knowledge,unify the sterilization standards for plastic self-sealing bags,develop a storage management system,and adopt a medical air compressor system without oil and water to reduce the risk of hospital infections.
