In this study, we aimed to discuss the level of knowledge and approach on 'maintenance, calibration and cleaning of anaesthesia devices' among anaesthesiologists in Turkey.
A questionnaire was prepared with 21 questions based on the Google document system, and these questionnaires were sent to the anaesthesiologists via e-mail.
Overall, 226 anaesthesiologists answered our survey. With respect to the maintenance and calibration, anaesthesiologists had sufficient information about the vaporizer and the carbon dioxide canister devices; however, information about the vital components, such as disassembly of the anaesthesia machine, flow sensor, oxygen sensor, battery and exhaust system, was insufficient. The cleaning and sterilization procedures were performed when the devices became dirty, and the bacteria filter was used only for the protection of the anaesthesia system. There was a lack of knowledge about how and which part of the anaesthesia device should be disinfected. In total, 85% of the survey participants were thinking of the need of additional education on anaesthesia machine maintenance.
It is observed that education about anaesthesia device maintenance, calibration and cleaning issues is obviously necessary for the anaesthesiology specialists in our country. We believe that it would be useful to highlight this issue to anaesthesia educational institutions and anaesthesia associations.
在本研究中，我们旨在探讨土耳其麻醉医生对“麻醉设备的维护、校准和清洁”的知识水平及处理方式。
基于谷歌文档系统编制了一份包含21个问题的问卷，并通过电子邮件将这些问卷发送给麻醉医生。
总体而言，226名麻醉医生回答了我们的调查。在维护和校准方面，麻醉医生对蒸发器和二氧化碳罐设备有足够的了解；然而，关于麻醉机的拆卸、流量传感器、氧气传感器、电池和排气系统等关键部件的信息不足。设备脏污时才进行清洁和消毒程序，细菌过滤器仅用于保护麻醉系统。对于麻醉设备应如何以及对哪些部分进行消毒缺乏了解。总共有85%的调查参与者认为需要接受关于麻醉机维护的额外教育。
据观察，对于我国麻醉学专家来说，关于麻醉设备维护、校准和清洁问题的教育显然是必要的。我们认为向麻醉教育机构和麻醉协会强调这个问题将是有益的。
