ABSTRACT

The hospital environment favors a high risk of dissemination of microorganisms. It is necessary to include different strategies to prevent such infections. Among new cleaning techniques hydrogen peroxide has been proposed.
Material and Methods.Cross-sectional, analytical and prospective study. Total of 25 samples prior to decontamination and 25 samples after the same process with 5% hydrogen peroxide and 0.01% silver. For the evaluation, the McNemar test was used.
Results. In 23/25 samples the absence of microorganisms was obtained (without post-intervention development), with 92% (p ‹0.0001) negativity at 48 hours and in 2/20 (8%) of the samples the same bacteria development was maintained.
Conclusion. Decontamination with hydrogen peroxide and silver in closed spaces, using specialized spray equipment for 10 minutes of exposure, was effective in reducing and eliminating the bacterial load on hospital surfaces; however, it does not replace the conventional cleaning technique.
