Abstract
|
|
|
The authors investigated the survey of hospital hygine to evaluate the status of contamianation by airborne and contact route using air sampler and dip slide system in 32 different plasces of air and 9 subjects of contact route on July of 1989
and
July
of 1990 in a General Hospital in Pusan. And the frequency of contaminating organism and their antibiotic susceptibility were carried out.
The results were summerized as followings :
1. The air of 32 different places, 15 and 24 places each in 89 and 90 found to be contaminated.
2. The average rate of contamination in wards were 33.1 CFU in 89 and 50.3 CFU in 90 and is supposed to be increasing.
3. Places where many people come and go, as emergency room, injection room and ICU had higher contamination rate.
4. The distribution of organism isolated from air sampler and dip slide system shows pseudomonas,
On the basis of the results obtained and review of literature, hospital air contaminating organisms are in close relation to cosocomial infection and occurrence of new pathogenic organism, especially those are resistant to antibiotics, are of
special
importance in treating patients. Hence, periodic estimation of hospital hygine is needed and should consider a countermeasurement to disinfect the air and act immediately to prevent and decrease nosocomial infection.
