Disinfection of noncritical equipment on units with high hospital-onset Clostridium difficile infections
2019
Abstract We assessed barriers and knowledge of disinfection of noncritical items (NCIs) between intensive care unit (ICU) and non-ICU staff members. General understanding of cleaning NCIs was low across all staff. Non-ICU staff had a better understanding of who is responsible for disinfecting and where to access information on storing cleaned NCIs. Opportunities exist for heightened disinfection of NCIs through improved point-of-care instructional information, improved cleaning supply access, and increased instrument storage space.
