Investigation of Microbiological Contamination of Endoscopes After Endoscopic Debridement of Pancreatic Encapsulated Necrosis With Multidrug Resistant Bacterial Infection
For endoscopes with pancreatic encapsulated necrosis and multidrug resistant bacterial infection endoscopic debridement, the ethylene oxide cryo-sterilization method is safer and more effective. Routine microbiological surveillance of endoscopes cannot be limited to the surveillance of working channels only, and endoscopes with auxiliary water function need to monitor auxiliary water channels to reduce the risk.
