Abstract
Objective: To explore the efficacy of refined management based on the quality control (QC) mode in maintaining pediatric endoscope equipment.
Methods: Eighty sets of pediatric endoscopes that were sent to the endoscopy room for cleaning, disinfection, and storage at Hebei Children's Hospital from January 2022 to October 2023 were enrolled. Based on the maintenance method, endoscopes were divided into study group (refined management plus QC mode, n=40) and control group (conventional QC mode, n=40) using a random number table method. The rate of dirt presence, detection rate of pathogenic bacteria, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) positivity rate, cleanliness qualification rate, adverse event occurrence rate, endoscopy-related processing time, and endoscopic usage were analyzed.
Results: The presence rate of dirt, detection rate of pathogenic bacteria, and ATP positivity rate in the study group were significantly lower than in the control group. The cleaning qualification rate, safety storage rate, and disinfection record qualification rate were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). The incidence of adverse events in the study group was lower than in the control group (P<0.05). The study group had significantly shorter endoscopic recovery time, packaging review time, sterilization distribution time, and clinical acceptance confirmation time than the control group (P<0.05). Satisfaction with endoscope use was significantly higher in the study group than in the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusions: Refined management based on the QC mode can significantly improve the cleaning quality of pediatric endoscopes. This management mode can shorten processing time, reduce the occurrence of adverse events, and achieve high satisfaction with endoscope use.
期刊介绍:
It is a peer reviewed medical journal published regularly since 1984. It was previously known as quarterly "SPECIALIST" till December 31st 1999. It publishes original research articles, review articles, current practices, short communications & case reports. It attracts manuscripts not only from within Pakistan but also from over fifty countries from abroad.
Copies of PJMS are sent to all the import medical libraries all over Pakistan and overseas particularly in South East Asia and Asia Pacific besides WHO EMRO Region countries. Eminent members of the medical profession at home and abroad regularly contribute their write-ups, manuscripts in our publications. We pursue an independent editorial policy, which allows an opportunity to the healthcare professionals to express their views without any fear or favour. That is why many opinion makers among the medical and pharmaceutical profession use this publication to communicate their viewpoint.
