We administered a web-based questionnaire to SHEA, APIC, and EIN members to assess the frequency of fires associated with alcohol-based hand rub (ABHR) dispensers in healthcare settings. None of the 798 responding facilities using ABHRs reported a dispenser-related fire; 766 facilities had accrued an estimated 1,430 hospital-years of ABHR use.
我们向医疗保健流行病学学会(SHEA)、感染控制与流行病学专业人员协会(APIC)和医疗保健流行病学会东部分会(EIN)的成员发放了一份基于网络的调查问卷,以评估医疗机构中与酒精基手部消毒剂(ABHR)分配器相关的火灾发生频率。在使用ABHR的798家回复机构中,没有一家报告过与分配器相关的火灾;766家机构估计累计使用ABHR达1430个医院年。
