Study on the design and application of nasal endoscope screw self-open cleaning loading technology / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To improve the cleaning and loading technology of nasal endoscope in order to ensure the cleaning effect, to improve the working efficiency, and to reduce the cleaning cost.@*Methods@#A total of 480 reusable contaminated nasal endoscopes were divided into two groups according to random number table Clean and load the nasal endoscopes (group A) with the usage of metal parts to open up the leaf; Clean and load the nasal endoscope (group B) with the usage of screw driver to open up the leaf. Each group has 240 pieces. After mechanical cleaning, observe and analyze the cleaning effect, loading effectiveness, loading capacity, loading time and CSSD operators′ degree of satisfaction.@*Results@#The number of qualified cleaning joint parts of the two groups were 218 and 231 respectively, and the number of qualified cleaning leaf of the two groups were 214 and 227 respectively, and there were significant differences between the two groups (χ2= 5.828, 4.717, P < 0.05). The number of effective cleaning and loading 211 and 240 respectively, and there were significant differences between the two groups (χ2= 30.865, P < 0.01). The time it takes for loading were (2.89±0.22) s/piece and (1.80±0.21) s/piece respectively, and there were significant differences between the two groups. There were significant differences between the two groups (t = 55.535, P < 0.01). Among 62 CSSD operators, there were 51 and 59 operators in the two groups are satisfied, and there were significant differences between the two groups (χ2=10.806, P < 0.05).@*Conclusions@#Using the screw driver of the nasal endoscope helps to keep the leaf open during the process of mechanical cleaning, to ensure the cleaning effect, to shorten the loading time and increase the loading capacity. Thus improving the working efficiency and reducing the cleaning cost.
