Bacterial contamination of stethoscopes on the intensive care unit
Anaesthesia, 05/08/09

Whittington AM et al. - The authors assessed how often bedside stethoscopes in the intensive care unit were cleaned and whether they became colonised with potentially pathogenic bacteria. MRSA cultured from one earpiece persisted after cleaning. Three out of the 22 personal stethoscope diaphragms and five earpieces were colonised with pathogens. After cleaning, two diaphragms and two earpieces were still colonised, demonstrating the importance of regular cleaning.
