摘要: Relatively little attention has been directed to investigating the risks of sharps injuries in Singapore. This study examines epidemiology and causes at a university teaching hospital. The type instruments, site personnel involved each injury were determined retrospectively by reviewing Incident Reports forms Infection Control records between 1997 2000. Descriptive information on extracted collected standard charts. data then analysed using SPSS Windows software. rates 11.0 per 100 medical staff 6.9 nursing staff.

Rates similar found another local At hospital studied, with safety features had effectively produced no reported injuries.
