ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the disinfect effects of glutaraldehyde, ortho-phthalaldehyde ( OPA ) and peracetic acid on gastroscopy disinfection. Methods Relevant literature from PubMed, Cochrane Library, web of science, Embase, CNKI, CBM, VIP were retrieved to collect the randomized controlled trials on disinfection by glutaraldehyde, OPA and peracetic acid on gastroscope. Literature was selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The RevMan 5. 3. 4. 0 statistic software was used to extract data and a meta-analysis was performed. Results A total of 18 RCT were included. There were significant differences in the disinfect effects between the OPA group and the glutaraldehyde group ( OR=2. 02, 95％CI:1. 88-1. 27, P<0. 00001), and between the peracetic acid group and the glutaraldehyde group ( OR = 2. 79, 95％CI:1. 52-5. 11, P = 0. 0009 ) . There were no significant differences in the disinfection effect between the OPA group and peracetic acid group ( OR=1. 30,95％CI:0. 62-2. 73, P=0. 49) . Conclusion The disinfect effects of OPA and peracetic acid are similar, which are superior to glutaraldehyde. Compared with OPA and glutaraldehyde, peracetic acid is a better choice considering its good disinfect effect and low cost.
