Monitoring of disinfection of flexible endoscopes at medical institutions af-filiated with Xuzhou City
Objective This study was aimed at understanding the status of disinfection of soft endoscopes at medi-cal institutions affiliated with Xuzhou City,and analyzing the influencing factors,to provide a scientific basis for medical institutions to formulate infection control measures.Methods A survey was conducted on the disinfection effects,disinfec-tion process,and disinfection facilities of soft endoscopes(Tracheoscopy,Gastroscopy,and Colonoscopy)at ten medical insti-tutions under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou City from 2018 to 2022.Statistical analysis was conducted in SPSS 20.0 software.Results A total of 228 samples were collected,with a qualification rate of 85.09％.The qualification rates for each year were 94.74％,85.37％,92.86％,75.00％,and 82.35％,respectively,with statistical significance(x2=9.581,P=0.048).The overall qualification rate showed a decreasing trend(x2trend=4.444,P=0.035).The qualification rates of secondary and tertiary medical institutions were 94.00％and 82.58％,respectively.The qualification rates of secondary medical institutions were higher than those of tertiary medical institutions(x2=4.009,P=0.045).The qualification rates of collected bronchoscopy,gas-troscopy,and colonoscopy were 96.30％,80.95％,and 90.67％,respectively,with statistically significant differences(x2=6.387,P=0.041).Conclusions The disinfection qualification rate of soft endoscopes at medical institutions under the juris-diction of Xuzhou City is relatively low,and serious risks of hospital infection exist.Medical institutions should standardize the disinfection process for endoscopes,and health administrative departments and disease control centers should strengthen supervision,monitoring,and disinfection technology guidance.
