Methods： The plate exposure method was usedto measure the effect of air-disinfection of moxa-stick suffumigation in hematology and HSCT wards. Theyearly average qualified rates of air sampling in HSCT wards were evaluated from 2007 to 2010. To furtherinvestigate the disinfecting effect of moxa-stick suffumigation, the colony counts of common pathogens（including Staphylcoccus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa） before and after moxa-stick suffumigation werecompared. Results： The mean air quality rates of the HSCT wards with class 100 laminar flow were all above90.0% （91.2%-96.2%） from 2007 to 2010. Moxa-stick suffumigation effectively decreased the presence ofbacteria in the hematology ward＇s air （P〈0.01）. The most notable effect was the drastic reduction in the colonycounts of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa on the blood plates exposed to air treatedwith moxa-stick suffumigation （77.1 ± 52.9 cfu/m2 vs 196.1 ± 87.5 cfu/m2, P〈0.01; and 100.2±35.3 cfu/m2 vs371.5± 35.3 cfu/m2, P〈0.01）. Conclusion： Moxa-stick suffumigation proved to be a reliable and effective air-disinfection method for hematology and HSCT wards, and hence, it should be employed extensively.展开更多
