包装材料选择及成本效益分析

Selection of packing materials and cost-benefit analysis

目的正确合理选择灭菌包装材料。方法设立常规组和试验组,进行双层棉布使用次数的比较,并对5种包装材料进行成本分析。结果两组样本使用次数比较,差异有统计学意义(t=4.79,P<0.01);5种包装材料的单次使用成本:25cm×30cm纸塑袋最低,为3.35元,60cm×60cm棉布最高,为6.53元,60cm×60cm皱纹纸为3.41元,器械灭菌盒为4.60元,60cm×60cm无纺布为6.25元;5种包装材料单次包装的人工成本:器械灭菌盒为0.25元,其余4种均为1.25元。结论棉布的实际耗损严重;为节约包装成本而牺牲包装质量、效率和稳定性并不一定可取;确保灭菌物品的包装质量及其连续稳定性,才能更好地保证灭菌质量、控制医院感染、维护医疗护理安全。

OBJECTIVE To select appropriate packing materials for sterilization in health-care faculty. METHODS By employing both control and experimental groups,we observed double-layer cotton fabric with extending use and conducted cost-benefit analysis among different packing materials for sterilization. RESULTS Significant difference exited between two samples with t valve of 4.79 and P valve less than 0.01.In terms of cost allocated to each sterilization cycle,price of 25×30 peel pouch（lowest）,60×60 cotton fabric（highest）,60×60 medical-grade paper,rigid container and 60×60 non-woven were 3.35,6.53,3.41,4.60 and 6.25 yuan,respectively.The associated labor cost was 0.25 yuan for rigid container while 1.25 yuan for others. CONCLUSION Cotton fabric wears down with repeated use and it is not advisable to compromise effectiveness,efficiency and stability of sterilization for price restriction of packing materials.There is no shortcut to safeguard sterilization effectiveness,infection control in hospital and health-care efficacy other than to guarantee the quality and stability of packing materials for sterilization.
