As an advanced medical device, the hyperbaric oxygen double chamber is widely used in the treatment of various diseases. However, due to its closedness and the particularity of the treatment environment, ensuring the cleanliness and disinfection of the cabin environment to prevent cross infection has become an important link that cannot be ignored during use.
The cleaning and disinfection of the environment in the hyperbaric oxygen double chamber should first start with daily management and maintenance. After each treatment, the cabin should be cleaned immediately to remove dirt and residues on the surface. This includes using a soft rag or mop, dipped in an appropriate amount of detergent, and wiping the contactable surfaces such as the cabin wall, seats, and armrests. During the cleaning process, special attention should be paid to the cabin door, observation window, and other key parts that the patient may contact to ensure that nothing is missed.
In addition to daily cleaning, regular disinfection is also essential. Disinfection work should follow strict operating procedures and hygiene standards. Commonly used disinfection methods include ultraviolet irradiation, chemical disinfectant spraying or wiping, etc. Ultraviolet irradiation is a physical disinfection method that destroys the DNA structure of microorganisms to achieve the purpose of sterilization. In the hyperbaric oxygen double chamber, ultraviolet lamps can be installed to irradiate and disinfect the air and surfaces in the chamber. Chemical disinfectants achieve the sterilization effect by denaturing bacterial proteins and inactivating enzymes through their chemical action. Commonly used chemical disinfectants include peracetic acid, chlorine-containing disinfectants, etc., which have good killing effects on a variety of bacteria and viruses.
During the disinfection process, special attention should be paid to the concentration, action time and use method of the disinfectant. Too low concentration or too short action time of the disinfectant may affect the disinfection effect. At the same time, when using chemical disinfectants, appropriate protective equipment such as gloves and masks should be worn to protect the safety of operators.
In addition, air circulation in the hyperbaric oxygen double chamber is also an important factor in preventing cross infection. During the treatment process, the air circulation in the cabin should be ensured to be smooth to avoid the existence of dead corners. At the same time, after each treatment, the cabin door and ventilation equipment should be opened for sufficient ventilation to expel the dirty air and microorganisms in the cabin.
In addition to the above measures, the daily management and maintenance of the hyperbaric oxygen double chamber should be strengthened. Regularly inspect and maintain the equipment in the chamber to ensure its normal operation and stable performance. At the same time, strengthen the training and management of operators, improve their professional quality and sense of responsibility, and ensure that they can strictly follow the operating procedures for cleaning and disinfection.
In short, ensuring the cleanliness and disinfection of the environment in the hyperbaric oxygen double chamber is an important measure to prevent cross infection and ensure patient safety. Through daily cleaning, regular disinfection, air circulation, and strengthening management and maintenance, we can build a strong line of defense against cross infection and provide patients with a safer and more effective treatment environment.
