In a 33-month prospective analysis of needlestick injuries, venepuncturists working under Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines for handling used needles were shown to incur a needlestick injury for every 3,175 to 4,006 needle-handling procedures. On the other hand, users of a simple device designed to reduce the risk of injury when recapping used needles were shown to incur a needlestick only once in every 16,100 venepunctures performed (P less than 0.001). This represents a fourfold reduction in the rate of needlestick injuries. We thus question the effectiveness of the CDC nonrecapping policy.
在一项为期33个月的针刺伤前瞻性分析中，按照疾病控制中心（CDC）处理用过针头的指南工作的静脉穿刺师，每进行3175至4006次针头处理操作就会发生一次针刺伤。另一方面，使用一种旨在降低重新盖帽用过针头时受伤风险的简单装置的人员，在每16100次静脉穿刺操作中仅发生一次针刺伤（P小于0.001）。这意味着针刺伤发生率降低了四倍。因此，我们对疾病控制中心的不重新盖帽政策的有效性提出质疑。
