Naso-endoscopes are important tools in the everyday practice of otolaryngology. However, cleaning methods have not yet been standardized. The aims of this article are to assess the degree of variation in practice both within and outside the UK, and to propose explanations why standard national and international guidelines have not been forthcoming. It is hoped that the systematic identification of the problems facing health authorities will lead to a better understanding of the task at hand, and bring us closer to drawing up a more specific standard for 'best possible' practice.
鼻内镜是耳鼻喉科日常诊疗中的重要工具。然而，清洗方法尚未标准化。本文旨在评估英国国内外实际操作中的差异程度，并对为何尚未出台国家和国际标准指南提出解释。希望通过系统识别卫生当局面临的问题，能更好地理解手头的任务，并使我们更接近制定“最佳可行”操作的更具体标准。
