Implication

Cross-sectional study assesses surface contamination of hazardous drugs in healthcare settings, highlighting risks for healthcare workers.

Key Points

  • Significant contamination of hazardous drugs was found on surfaces in healthcare facilities in Shaanxi, especially in drug preparation rooms.
  • Cyclophosphamide and gemcitabine levels reached up to 36.61 ng/cm², with contamination most concentrated on biological safety cabinet surfaces and preparation tables.
  • Cross-sectional study across 16 institutions analyzed 659 surface samples, revealing higher contamination in DPRWs compared to PIVAS but with no significant overall difference.
  • Enhanced cleaning protocols and stricter regulations are crucial to safeguard healthcare workers working with hazardous drugs in Chinese medical settings.
