- W2093963747 abstract "Environmental contamination within intensive care units (ICU) is recognised as a source of patient infection, and improved cleaning and disinfection methods are continually being sought. Visible light of 405 nm has been shown to have bactericidal properties, and this communication reports on the use of a ceiling-mounted 405 nm light system for continuous environmental disinfection of contact surfaces and air in an occupied ICU isolation room. Levels of bacterial contamination on a range of contact surfaces around the room were assessed before, during and after use of the system. For each study, the lighting units were operated continuously during daylight hours. Results demonstrate that the spatial distribution of bacterial contamination was reduced almost uniformly across all sampled contact surfaces during use of the 405 nm light system. Pooled data showed that significant reductions in overall bacterial contamination around the room were achieved, with bacterial counts reduced by up to 67% ( p=0.0001) over and above that achieved with standard cleaning and infection control procedures alone. Use of 405 nm light significantly reduced environmental contamination across almost all sampled contact surfaces within the ICU isolation room. This has particular benefit in ICU where equipment and other ‘hand-touch’ sites make routine cleaning difficult, thus helping maintain a cleaner environment, and contributing to reducing cross-infection from environmental sources." @default.
