When I come on shift, the entire ambulance gets cleaned. Seats, buttons, steering wheel, door handles, all patient care equipment, floors are swept then mopped with a water/bleach/some kind of cleaner mix.
Some people at my service don't seem to think that because the patient never really "touched" the stretcher (on bed sheets from the sheet lift, or our blue sheet) or if they are not on isolation percautions or leaking fluids that we don't need to clean everything... however, many of my patients ARE on isolation percautions or immunocompromised and I'd rather not play russian roulette wit
