A systematic review of the literature was conducted according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis) protocol guidelines. The contents of PubMed, EBSCO (electronic databases), and Scopus were screened. Keywords used in the search included: \"tourniquet,\" \"cross infection,\" \"nosocomial infection,\" \"staphylococcus aureus,\" \"MRO,\" \"pathogen,\" \"infectious disease,\" \"anti-microbial,\" or a combination of these using AND or OR operators. Finally, 13 publications were included. Data were analysed both descriptively and quantitatively by calculating a balanced average for specific synthesized data.
The proportional observation based on the number sampled median was 77. The genus MRSA was the type of bacteria most commonly found: on 12% of all tested tourniquets. The amount of MRSA found on tourniquets was mean ± SD 14.6 ± 45.89. A review of studies also revealed the presence of coagulase-negative staphylococci, grew Bacillus, and Staphylococcus aureus.
Patient safety may be at risk due to elevated contamination rates of reusable tourniquets. The microorganisms responsible for this contamination include a variety of species, the most common being the genus Staphylococcus. For this reason, we recommend the use of disposable tourniquets.
■根据PRISMA(系统审查和荟萃分析的首选报告项目)方案指南对文献进行了系统审查。PubMed的内容,EBSCO(电子数据库),和Scopus进行了筛选。搜索中使用的关键字包括:“止血带,“交叉感染”,医院感染,金黄色葡萄球菌,\"\"MRO,\"\"病原体,“\”传染病,\"\"抗微生物,\"或使用AND或OR运算符的组合。最后,包括13种出版物。通过计算特定合成数据的平衡平均值,对数据进行了描述性和定量分析。
■基于采样数量中位数的比例观察结果为77。MRSA属是最常见的细菌类型:在所有测试的止血带中占12%。在止血带上发现的MRSA的量为平均值±SD14.6±45.89。对研究的回顾还揭示了凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌的存在,生长的芽孢杆菌,和金黄色葡萄球菌。
■由于可重复使用的止血带的污染率升高,患者的安全可能会受到威胁。造成这种污染的微生物包括多种物种,最常见的是葡萄球菌属。出于这个原因,我们建议使用一次性止血带。
