Introduction: Laryngoscope is using for endotracheal intubations. Inadequate decontamination of laryngoscope can develop nosocomial infections. If the blade isn’t disconnecting from laryngoscope after intubation can be transmit infections to handle. This study considering prevalence and types of bacteria isolated separately from laryngoscope blades and handles.

Method: This cross-sectional study was in the operating rooms of the educational and treatment center of Qazvin University of Medical Science in province Qazvin in Iran at 2018. 40 Laryngoscope blades and 40 laryngoscope handles were sampled after disinfection, with 4 methods disinfection: (1-Water, Povidon Iodine 7.5%, Ethanol 70%), (2-Water, Povidon Iodine 7.5%, Deconex (guaifenesin and phenylephrine 53 plus), (3-Water, Povidon Iodine 7.5%) and (4-Ethanol 70%)”. Samples were cultured on Mueller Hinton 5% sheep blood agar plate, MacConkey agar and Manitol salt agar. Inoculating plates were incubated at 37 ᵒC for 48 hours. Dominant microorganism and other growth bacteria identified comparatively.
