Abstract
The current research measured the current state of a hospital for one year from the perspective of preventive medicine along with the implementation of measures to prevent the spread of infection and promote sanitation and an environment to that would not facilitate infection. The work sought to study changes regarding "hospital sanitization" of a small-to-medium-sized hospital. As the also new try, We analyze multivariate analysis using the technique of the finite element method, report on the way of evaluating. Measurement focused on microbes (staphylococcus and fungi), the most serious sources of infection in a hospital, and studied common bacteria (total count), fungi, staphylococcus aureus, and multidrug-resistant staphylococcus aureus. We measured airborne microbes at principal locations in the hospital and we measured the microbe count (colony count) after culturing. In addition, we also measured air cleanliness in a hospital environment and microbes (surface-adherent microbes) adhering mainly to hospital fixtures in direct contact with walls (work tables, handrails, bed sheets, etc.).
