How to disinfect tuberculosis at home, and how to disinfect the things used by tuberculosis patients

Tuberculosis is a contagious disease, so doing a good job of disinfection of the patient's home is directly related to the health of other family members. Household disinfection mainly includes the following aspects:

Disinfect the room. The simplest and most effective air disinfection method is to ventilate the room, ventilate for 1 hour in the morning and evening, and you can also use an electric fan to assist ventilation; Every day, a chemical disinfectant solution (peracetic acid) can also be used to spray the room to disinfect it.

Disinfection of dishes. The patient's utensils should be used exclusively and placed separately. After use, boil in boiling water for 15 minutes and let it dry, and boil the remaining food for 20 minutes before discarding.

Disinfection of sputum utensils. Sputum is the main vector of transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, so the patient should not spit, but should spit in a cup with a lid, or spit on paper and burn it. Rinse the sputum cup with running water and boil for 20 minutes before reuse.

Disinfect with substances. The bedding used by the patient should be exposed to the sun frequently, and each exposure should be more than 6 hours. Small items such as pillows, sheets and clothes can be boiled in boiling water for 10 to 20 minutes, or soaked in peracetic acid for sterilization.

Furniture, furnishings and walls can be wiped and disinfected with iodophor solution. Lysol, hydrogen peroxide, 84 disinfectant, etc., can kill Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

In addition, caregivers of tuberculosis patients and people who have been in contact with patients for a long time also need to pay attention to disinfection, for example, washing hands with iodophor solution, and wiping hands with alcohol after each contact with a sick person.

Tuberculosis at home is mainly to pay attention to ventilation, do not need special disinfection, and reduce dust.

The healing cycle of tuberculosis is very long, about half a year to a year. The ** of tuberculosis is very similar, and they are all anti-tuberculosis**, so the effect of each hospital is similar, but you can go to a special tuberculosis hospital**. Tuberculosis generally does not turn into lung cancer, so you can rest assured.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis can be said to be invulnerable, so disinfectants are almost ineffective, ventilation is very important, family members need to pay attention, I will give you four words, simple but absolutely effective——— eat well and sleep well.

It can be used to wipe household items, and ozone can be used for air disinfection.

Disinfect at home with 2% alkaline glutaraldehyde.

Clothes are exposed to the sun for 2 hours, tableware is boiled for 5 minutes, and the best and simplest things that are not used are burned like phlegm paper.

Such patients need to sleep in a separate bedroom and must be separated from other people, because the night is the most contagious, the air is not circulated, and the tuberculosis bacteria excreted by the patient float in the air, are stationary, and are easily absorbed by healthy people.

The method is nothing more than opening the windows for ventilation during the day, you can't always close the windows every day, right? Even in winter, we usually wake up in the morning with the windows open to ventilate. In addition, you can buy a UV lamp and close the window for 2 hours a day.

The utensils used by the patient can be scrubbed and disinfected with alcohol if possible, and 84 disinfectant can be used if there is no condition, which is worse than alcohol. The bedding used by the patient is covered with sunshine during the day when the weather is good, or boiled after dismantling and washing, and the tuberculosis bacteria are very afraid of boiling water.
