This short report documents an in-use evaluation of three disinfectant solutions that was conducted within the operating theatre of a South Australian hospital to address a high occurrence of Clostridium difficile Infection (CDI). The disinfectants were all registered by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and included a buffered peracetic acid, a chlorine-based disinfectant used at 1000 ppm, and a hydrogen peroxide-based disinfectant. The use of the chlorine and hydrogen peroxide disinfectants both caused a number of adverse staff reactions and increased safe-work related incident reporting. The peracetic acid-based product met all criteria for use, including staff acceptance, cleaning expectation, cost and efficacy requirements.
本简短报告记录了在南澳大利亚一家医院的手术室进行的一项针对三种消毒溶液的使用评估,以应对艰难梭菌感染(CDI)的高发生率。这些消毒剂均已获得治疗用品管理局(TGA)的注册,包括一种缓冲过氧乙酸、一种以1000 ppm使用的氯基消毒剂和一种过氧化氢基消毒剂。氯基和过氧化氢基消毒剂的使用均引发了一些工作人员的不良反应,并增加了与安全工作相关的事件报告。基于过氧乙酸的产品符合所有使用标准,包括工作人员的接受度、清洁预期、成本和功效要求。
