Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| % of uncleaned and cleaned probes showing colony forming units on microbiological media and the type of organism isolatedTimepoint: 0 hrs- Swabs collected from the probes before and after cleaning. 1 hr - Maximum time within which the swabs were sent to the microbiology lab for evaluation. 24 hrs - maximum time required for microbiological colonies to grow on appropriate media. 48 hrs- maximum time required to test antibiotic sensitivity. upto 1 week- time required for fungal colonies to grow. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To know in how many % of cases cross infection could be avoided because of different cleaning methods used to clean the probes.Timepoint: 0 hrs- Swabs collected from the probes before and after cleaning. 1 hr - Maximum time within which the swabs were sent to the microbiology lab for evaluation. 24 hrs - maximum time required for microbiological colonies to grow on appropriate media. 48 hrs- maximum time required to test antibiotic sensitivity. upto 1 week- time required for fungal colonies to grow. after this, data was analysed to know the chances of cross infection before and after cleaning. | — |
