Endoscopy units in 27 large teaching hospitals in Canada were surveyed to ascertain which solution was being used to soak endoscopic equipment. The purpose of this survey was to discover if staff in endoscopy units were experiencing side effects as a result of exposure to the soaking solutions. The type of solution used, the use of washing machines and the addition of ventilation are examined in relation to the side effects experienced. The results of the survey showed that five solutions were being used by GI units to soak and clean scopes. All five of the solutions contained some glutaraldehyde, and side effects were reported by staff using all five solutions. The use of washing machines and additional ventilation at some of the hospitals may have had an effect on the number of side effects experienced, but the results could not be used to determine their effect conclusively.
对加拿大27家大型教学医院的内镜科室进行了调查，以确定用于浸泡内镜设备的是哪种溶液。这项调查的目的是了解内镜科室的工作人员是否因接触浸泡溶液而出现副作用。针对所经历的副作用，对使用的溶液类型、洗衣机的使用情况以及通风设备的添加情况进行了研究。调查结果显示，消化内科科室使用了五种溶液来浸泡和清洗内镜。所有这五种溶液都含有一定量的戊二醛，使用这五种溶液的工作人员均报告出现了副作用。部分医院使用洗衣机和增加通风设备可能对所经历的副作用数量产生了影响，但这些结果无法最终确定其效果。
