Creating a safe medical environment is extremely important, because doctors, nurses and other staff have been exposed to medical sharps for a long time, and if they are in the process of surgery, they also have to face a multi-person collaboration scenario, and used medical sharps waste needs to be disposed of as soon as possible, otherwise it is prone to accidental damage. Surgeons and operating room staff often get stabbed by sharp instruments, so paying attention to the operation of sharp instruments, analyzing the causes of stab injuries, and reducing the incidence of sharp injuries is an important part of occupational protection in medical work.
Needlestick injuries and sharps injuries are an important occupational risk factor for physicians and nurses worldwide. About one-third of Egyptian doctors have been injured by sharp objects in the past three months. 70% of doctors in Australia have suffered a sharp injury within 2 years. According to one study, 95% of nurses in China have experienced sharps injuries during their work. Therefore, the processing of medical sharps must comply with the process and adhere to the following principles:
1.Principle of handling sharp objects: (1) Discard all used disposable scalpels, stitches, syringe needles, etc. directly in the sharps box. (2) Avoid returning the needle with both hands, if you need to re-sleeve, you should use a special needle removal equipment or use one-handed operation skills to complete. (3) Do not bend or break the needle with your bare hands.
2.Requirements for sharp weapon boxes: (1) The material is hard and cannot be pierced by sharp weapons. (2) The opening size is suitable, which can easily accommodate sharp objects, avoid excessive opening, and prevent splashing. (3) The sharps box is placed at an appropriate and easily visible height, placed near the sharps. (4) After the sharps box is 3/4 full, it will be replaced and removed in time.
