Recent outbreaks of duodenoscope-associated multidrugresistant organism infections have increased awareness and concern about the pitfalls in high-level disinfection protocols and duodenoscope design. A call for innovative approaches to reduce the risk of transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms through duodenoscopes has led to the development of single-use duodenoscopes. As a new technology, questions have been raised regarding the performance, safety, cost, feasibility of implementation, and environmental impact of these novel duodenoscopes. This article discusses several of these aspects and presents a brief review of the literature.
近期与十二指肠镜相关的多重耐药菌感染暴发,提高了人们对高水平消毒方案及十二指肠镜设计缺陷的认识与关注。呼吁采用创新方法降低多重耐药菌通过十二指肠镜传播的风险,促使了一次性使用十二指肠镜的研发。作为一项新技术,人们对这些新型十二指肠镜的性能、安全性、成本、实施可行性及环境影响提出了疑问。本文讨论了其中几个方面,并对相关文献进行简要综述。
