Abstract:Objective To evaluate the reprocessing of gastrointestinal endoscopy in Tianjin from 2016 to 2020 and analyze multiple factors.Methods In 2016, the pump-assisted method and the common flushing sampling method were used, the common flushing sampling method was used in 2017, and the brush-flush-brush sampling method and the common flushing sampling method were used to collect the endoscope flushing water in 2018-2020. In 2017 and 2020, sampling were covered all endoscopy centers in Tianjin and conducted information surveys.Results In 2020, there were 57 endoscope centers in 16 districts of the city, with 297 gastroscopes, among them, 214 colonoscopies, and 170 decontamination personnel. There were 33 (57.9%) endoscope centers with ≤ 2 decontamination personnel; A total of 349 flushing water after endoscope reprocessing were collected in 5 years, the overall pass rate was 86.2%, and the highest total bacterial colony was 7.00×105 CFU/Piece, a total of 292 pieces of final rinse water were collected except 2017, the overall pass rate was 72.9%, and the highest total bacterial colony was 9.1×104 CFU/100 mL. The results of multi-factor analysis showed that carrying out ERCP, manual cleaning, and using qualified final rinse water were protective factors. The O values (95%CI) were 33.365 (3.255 ~ 342.010), 19.111 (1.904 ~ 191.779) and 4.078 (1.750 ~ 9.501); The use of pump-assisted sampling and brush-flush-brush sampling methods can reduce the probability of detecting qualified reprocessing by 26.704 (2.555 ~ 279.102) and 2.710 (1.088 ~ 6.757).Conclusion The pass rate of endoscope reprocessing and the quality of the final rinse water were low. It is necessary to increase the number of cleaning and disinfection personnel, strengthen the maintenance of the automatic cleaning and disinfection machine, and pump assisted method or brush assisted method has high sensitivity, it is recommended to use the pump assist method or the brush-flush-brush method for sampling monitoring.
