Nurse invents waterproof pillowcases to reduce cross-infection rate in patients
Information Times (Reporter Zhang Xiuli) Hospital bed sheets have been cleaned and disinfected, but in some cases, bedridden patients will inevitably cross-infection. Recently, the reporter learned from the Otolaryngology Research Institute of the Guangdong Armed Police Corps Hospital that Zhong Shenghong, head nurse of the hospital, improved the pillow cover to reduce cross-contamination of patients.
A clinical survey showed that hospitals used microbiological sampling and detection methods to investigate and monitor 50 bed units in the general wards of 5 wards. As a result, it was found that the unit pollution rate of the general surgical beds that were sterilized was still above 90%, and the pollution rate of the internal bed units was more than 55%. Among the bed unit components, the highest pollution rate was 84%, the contamination rate of cotton tyres was 78%, and the pollution rate of mattresses was 72%. The average contamination rate of bed units within one week of hospitalization was 27.8%, and the average rate of bed units over two weeks exceeded 80%.
In this regard, Zhong Jinchang tries to find a pillow that is convenient to use and affordable, without increasing the workload of nurses. Finally, she tried to use a waterproof pillowcase and put a waterproof cover on the outside of the pillow. When the patient sweats, bleeds, and vomits, it can effectively prevent pollution of the pillow. Just replace the pillowcase with a 0.1% sterilizing powder and wipe the waterproof pillowcase. It can be used as a disinfectant to reduce the risk of infection and cross-contamination in patients.
