摘要: BACKGROUND: To minimize the bacterial contamination rate in blood collected from donors, a study was designed to evaluate suitability of single-use chlorhexidine-alcohol antiseptic for donor arm preparation at all collection venues Australia. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: A prospective load on skin performed 616 donors’ arms before and after disinfection using direct swabbing plating technique. Disinfection achieved with swab containing 1 percent chlorhexidine gluconate 75 alcohol, which applied prescribed method. Feedback donors staff obtained questionnaires. RESULTS: After disinfection, 99 had counts 5 cfu per plate or less, 99.5 10 cfu respectively. The mean colony count 0.39, percentage reduction compared predisinfection. Sixteen (3%) noted transient irritation. majority (64%) preferred not use new disinfectant due difficulty opening packaging an excessive amount solution pack. CONCLUSION: bacteriologic showed that satisfied requirements Australian Red Cross Blood Service prepare blood-donor venesection. An improvement required it could be acceptable staff.
