Abstract
Objective To explore the influence of centralized management mode on disinfection and sterilization of flexible endoscopes in Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD) . Methods By cluster sampling, the endoscopes processed in the First People's Hospital of Shangqiu in He'nan province from 2015 to 2016 were selected for investigation. The endoscopes processed from 2015 to 2018 were put into the control group (n=47 250) and those processed from 2017 to 2018 were in the experimental group (n=55 319) .The cleaning and sterilization room was set up to manage the flexible endoscopes in the control group while the CSSD centralized management mode was adopted in the experimental group. The quality of sterilization and disinfection in the two groups were compared. Results There were statistically significant differences between the two groups of endoscopes in the sterilization and disinfection quality monitoring results (P<0.05) . Conclusions The cleaning, disinfection and sterilization of flexible endoscopes under the CSSD centralized management mode ensures the quality of disinfection and sterilization of flexible endoscopes and the safety of doctors, nurses and patients by reasonably equipping facilities and personnel and strict quality control.
