Explanation · 中文詳解

回套針頭(Recapping a used needle)是被嚴格禁止的臨床行為,因為這極大增加了針扎(Needlestick injury)的風險,進而可能導致 HIV、B型肝炎(HBV)及 C型肝炎(HCV)等血源性病原體的職業暴露。根據 OSHA(職業安全與健康管理局)標準,使用過的針頭應直接投入防穿刺的銳器盒(Sharps container)。

Recapping a used needle is a strictly prohibited clinical behavior, because it greatly increases the risk of needlestick injury, which can lead to occupational exposure to blood-borne pathogens such as HIV, hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV). According to OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) standards, used needles must be disposed of directly into a puncture-resistant sharps container.

✦ 台美臨床差異

在美國,這類行為一旦被稽核發現,不僅會導致嚴重的懲處,還會被列入醫院的 Incident Report(意外報告)系統。美國醫院對銳器安全(Needleless systems)的要求極高,幾乎已全面推廣安全針頭裝置,若違規使用舊式針頭回套,護理師會面臨極大的資方與法規壓力。
