“…It can be concluded that the quali ed rate of lumen instruments occult blood detection and the quali ed rate of surgical instrument cleaning in the experimental group were signi cantly higher than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically signi cant (P < 0.05). This is similar to the ndings of Dunn, et al (2022) [33]. After the implementation of the integrated equipment quality management model of operating room and supply room, special cleaning equipment was re-installed in the supply room, and the equipment cleaning method was improved.…”

Backgroud: This paper researches the influence of the integrated equipment quality management model of operating room and supply room and conventional equipment disinfection management scheme on the prevention and control of nosocomial infection. Methods: 200 surgical instruments and surgical instrument kits in the supply room of our hospital from May 2020 to May 2022 are selected as research cases. They are equally divided into the experimental group and the control group by the random number table method, and each group is equipped with 100 pieces of surgical instruments and instrument kit. The control group adopts the conventional equipment disinfection management scheme, and the experimental group adopts the integrated equipment quality management model of operating room and supply room. The number of different types of surgical instruments and surgical instrument kits, the qualified rate of surgical instrument cleaning, the qualified rate of disinfection of surgical instrument kits, the wound infection rate of surgical patients, and the satisfaction of medical staff with the quality of the instruments are compared between the two groups. Results: The results show that the different types of surgical instruments (lumen instruments, hemostatic forceps, and scissors) and the number of surgical instrument kits (puncture kits, accessories kits, and instrument kits) in the experimental group are not significantly different from those in the control group (P > 0.05). The qualified rate of disinfection of surgical instrument kits in the experimental group is significantly higher than that in the control group, and the difference is statistically significant (P < 0.05). The wound infection rate of surgical patients in the experimental group is significantly lower than that in the control group, and the difference is statistically significant (P< 0.05). The satisfaction rate of 50 medical staff with the quality of surgical instruments in the experimental group is significantly higher than that in the control group, and the difference is statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: It is found that compared with the conventional equipment disinfection management scheme, the integrated equipment quality management model of operating room and supply room can significantly improve the cleaning and disinfection quality of surgical instruments and surgical instrument kits, reduce the risk of postoperative wound infection of surgical patients, improve the satisfaction of medical staff, and achieve the prevention and control of nosocomialinfection.

“…For example, the scientific literature points to the wide microbial contamination of privacy curtains in clinical settings, (3,4) as well as of the health professionals' white coats, (5,6) in addition to the clothing and bed linen used by the patients during the hospitalization period (7,8). There are also possible indications for relationships of microbial contamination in different textile materials used by the patients and health professionals and in the inanimate healthcare environments, with occurrence of Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) and infectious outbreaks in hospital services (9,10).…”

BackgroundAntimicrobial textiles have proved to be a promising biosafety strategy. Thus, the current study was focused on identifying which antimicrobial substances impregnated in textiles used in healthcare services confer efficacy in reducing the microbial load present in these textiles and/or the Healthcare-Associated Infection (HAI) rates, when compared to conventional textiles.MethodsA systematic review of intervention studies using MEDLINE via the PubMed portal, EMBASE, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar and medRxiv. The studies identified were selected according to eligibility criteria and submitted to data extraction and methodological quality evaluation through Joanna Briggs Institute specific tools. The outcomes were synthesized qualitatively.Results23 studies were selected to comprise the final sample, in which antimicrobial textiles were used by hospitalized patients, by health professionals during work shifts and in inanimate healthcare environments.ConclusionsCopper, silver, zinc oxide, titanium and silver-doped titanium impregnated in textiles used by patients confer efficacy in reducing the microbial load of these textiles and/or the HAI rates. Quaternary ammonium, chlorhexidine, silver and copper together, quaternary ammonium, alcohols and isothiazolone derivatives together, chitosan and dimethylol dimethyl hydantoin together, all impregnated in textiles used by health professionals confer efficacy in reducing the microbial load of these textiles. Quaternary ammonium impregnated in textiles used in inanimate healthcare environments confers efficacy in reducing the microbial load of these textiles.
