The importance of stethoscope hygiene has been demonstrated in prior studies, and is acknowledged by guidelines, yet it is rarely done. We implemented a pilot project consisting of provider education, reminder flyers and provision of cleaning supplies at the start of clinical rotations for housestaff, medical students, and attending physicians. Hand hygiene rates did not change significantly with rates between 58% and 63% while stethoscope hygiene remained at zero.
先前的研究已经证明了听诊器卫生的重要性，并且指南也认可这一点，但实际却很少有人这么做。我们实施了一个试点项目，包括对住院医师、医学生和主治医师进行临床轮转培训时的提供者教育、发放提醒传单以及提供清洁用品。手部卫生率在58%至63%之间没有显著变化，而听诊器卫生率仍为零。
