Abstract

Background: This study aimed to investigate whether the application of multifunctional endoscope transport carts, in bedside endoscopy in intensive care unit (ICU) patients, can improve the cleaning quality of the endoscopes.

Methods: A total of 175 endoscopes, used for bedside endoscopy in ICU patients in a hospital in China during November 2023 to January 2024, were randomly classified into the control group (n=88) and the experimental group (n=87). Multifunctional transport carts were used to deliver the endoscopes in the experimental group and traditionally used transport trolleys were used in the control group. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) tests were performed to measure the relative light unit (RLU) values for the outer surfaces and forceps channels of the endoscopes, and a satisfaction survey was conducted with nurses who used the endoscope transport trolleys/carts and the endoscope cleaning staff.

Results: The ATP values for the outer surfaces and forceps channels of the endoscopes in the experimental group were 10.0 (6.0, 17.0) RLU and 7.0 (4.0, 11.0) RLU, respectively, lower than 33.5 (9.3, 77.0) RLU for outer surfaces and 14.0 (5.0, 39.8) RLU for forceps channels in the control group. The pass rates for cleaning quality of the outer surfaces and channels of the endoscopes in the experimental group were 98.9% and 100%, respectively, higher than 88.6% for outer surfaces and 93.2% for channels in the control group (P < 0.05). The satisfaction scores of the nurses who used the multifunctional endoscope transport carts and the endoscope cleaning staff in the experimental group were 39.7±1.87 and 18.45±1.41, respectively, higher than 19.83±2.08 for nurses and 9.08±1.71 for cleaning staff in the control group (P < 0.05).

Conclusion: The application of multifunctional endoscope transport carts in bedside endoscopy in ICU patients could improve the quality of endoscope cleaning.

多功能内窥镜运输车在重症监护病人床边内窥镜检查中的应用。

背景：本研究旨在探讨在重症监护病房（ICU）患者床边内镜检查中应用多功能内窥镜运输车是否能提高内窥镜的清洁质量。方法：选取某医院2023年11月至2024年1月用于ICU患者床边内镜检查的内镜175台，随机分为对照组（n=88）和实验组（n=87）。实验组采用多功能运输车运送内窥镜，对照组采用传统运输车运送。采用三磷酸腺苷（ATP）试验测量内窥镜外表面和钳道的相对光单位（RLU）值，并对使用内窥镜运输推车的护士和内窥镜清洁人员进行满意度调查。结果：实验组内窥镜外表面和钳道ATP值分别为10.0(6.0、17.0)RLU和7.0(4.0、11.0)RLU，低于对照组外表面33.5(9.3、77.0)RLU和钳道14.0(5.0、39.8)RLU。实验组内窥镜外表面和通道清洁质量合格率分别为98.9%和100%，高于对照组外表面和通道清洁质量合格率的88.6%和93.2% （P < 0.05）。试验组使用多功能内窥镜运输车的护士满意度为39.7±1.87分，内窥镜清洁人员满意度为18.45±1.41分，高于对照组护士满意度（19.83±2.08分）和清洁人员满意度（9.08±1.71分）（P < 0.05）。结论：多功能内镜转运车应用于ICU患者床边内镜检查，可提高内镜清洗质量。
