Abstract

This study compared and analyzed the pollution levels of radiation shielding aprons and ways to sterilize them using 30 lead aprons. After collecting samples from the center of the lead apron, where contact is most frequent, experiments were conducted employing Coagula and Latex methods. Using the culture medium where bacteria grew, measurements of the pathogen count and identification were performed. The greatest number of pathogens were $7.16{\pm}10$, which were detected on the lead apron from general X-ray room #2, but there was no significant difference according to the facilities (p > 0.05). Compared to how many pathogens remained between using the disinfectant ethanol and tissue, the pathogens decreased by $0.01{\pm}0.4$ (p < 0.05) after using disinfectant ethanol and by $0.87{\pm}1.7$(p < 0.05) after using disinfectant tissue. The Pearson correlation test revealed a significant correlation (-0.296, p < 0.05) between them. According to this research, there were pathogens on the lead aprons and the number of pathogens was determined by statistical analysis. It is expected that the rate of radiology technologists, patients, and medical equipment infected by pathogens will be reduced by the proper use of sterilization with a disinfectant ethanol.

본 연구는 방사선 차폐용 납 가운의 오염정도를 정량분석하고, 현재 이용하고 있는 소독법의 효과를 비교 분석해보았다. 총 30벌의 납 가운을 선택 후 접촉이 많은 부위에서 검체를 채취하여 Coagulase와 Latex법으로 배양하였고 균이 배양된 배지로 병원균 계수 측정과 동정 을 실시하였다. 실험결과 MRCNS, MRSA, EFM, Bacillus sp, CNS 등의 병원균이 검출되었고, 일반촬영실2에서 $7.16{\pm}10$개로 가장 많이 검출되었으며, 검사실 별 병원균 수는 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 소독용 에탄올과 소독용 티슈 소독의 소독효과를 비교한 결과 소독용 에탄올 소독 후 $0.01{\pm}0.4$개(p<0.05), 소독용 티슈 소독 후 $0.87{\pm}1.7$개(p<0.05)로 두 방법에서 잔류 병원균 수가 감소되었고. 두 방법을 Pearson상관계수로 검정결과 -0.296으로 두 소독방법에는 유의한 상관관계가 있는 것으로 분석되었다(p<0.05). 이번 연구를 통하여 방사선 차폐용 납 가운의 병원균 존재 여부와 개체 수를 정량적 분석을 통하여 알 수 있었으며, 소독용 에탄올 소독법을 적절히 적용하여 소독한다면 검사자, 환자, 의료장비 등이 병원균으로부터 오염 및 감염될 확률을 감소시킬 것으로 기대된다.
