Cleaning For Health - Are You Prepared?
High-tech tools have armed facilities with new weapons to kill pathogens, according to an article on the Outpatient Surgery website. For instance, one hospital had 81 cases of hospital-acquired Clostridium difficile (C.diff) last year, but is on pace to have one-third fewer hospital-acquired infections of all kinds this year.
The decrease is being attributed to the whole-room disinfection technologies the facility had added to its manual cleaning processes.
The whole-room disinfection works like this: At the end of a day or every 24 hours — whichever comes first — each operating room undergoes a top-to-bottom, floor-to-ceiling, edge-to-center terminal clean. This terminal clean is in addition to the environmental cleaning schedules that occur between patient cases - and it’s important to note that one method does not replace the other.
Steps for the whole-room disinfection include using each disinfecting agent according to the manufacturer's instructions and being sure to leave adequate dwell time for proper disinfection.
