Prevention of hazardous drug exposure is essential in averting unnecessary health risks to health care workers (HCW). To address the risk to HCWs when handling hazardous drugs, engineering controls can be utilized to reduce the exposure. A closed system transfer device (CSTD) was introduced for hazardous drugs administration in 6 oncology wards; this new CSTD was associated with a significant increase in CLABSI rates.
预防接触危险药物对于避免医护人员面临不必要的健康风险至关重要。为应对医护人员在处理危险药物时面临的风险,可采用工程控制措施来减少接触。在6个肿瘤科病房引入了一种用于危险药物给药的密闭式系统转移装置(CSTD);这种新型CSTD与中心静脉导管相关血流感染(CLABSI)率的显著增加有关。
