The purpose of this study was to identify if special breast cleansing before breast pumping would have an affect on lowering bacterial colony counts of cultured breast milk. Sixty-five women whose infants were being cared for in a NICU and who wished to pump their breasts for future breast milk feedings were randomly assigned to one of two groups: members of a control group were instructed to wash their hands thoroughly before breast pumping, and members of an experimental group were instructed to wash their hands thoroughly and were given special instructions on breast cleansing. All other breast pumping and milk collection instructions for both groups remained the same. A student's t-test revealed a significant difference between the two groups; women who performed special breast cleansing before breast pumping had significantly lower bacterial colony counts in their cultured breast milks.
本研究的目的是确定在吸乳前进行特殊的乳房清洁是否会对降低母乳培养中的细菌菌落数有影响。65名在新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）照料婴儿且希望吸乳以备将来母乳喂养的女性被随机分为两组：对照组的成员被指示在吸乳前彻底洗手，实验组的成员被指示彻底洗手并接受关于乳房清洁的特殊指导。两组的所有其他吸乳和乳汁收集指导均保持相同。学生t检验显示两组之间存在显著差异；在吸乳前进行特殊乳房清洁的女性，其母乳培养中的细菌菌落数显著更低。
