This study reports the appropriate disinfection methods for flexible and rigid laryngoscopes when used in an outpatient setting. This investigation presents evidence that an appreciable number of laryngoscopes are contaminated during use. A brief tap water rinse serves to eliminate gross soil of host origin known to interfere with disinfectant efficacy. Disinfection with 3.2% glutaraldehyde (Cidexplus) for 10 minutes effectively eliminated microbial contaminants. Since potentially harmful microorganisms were included among the more than 100 isolates during our baseline experiments, the need to eliminate bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa from laryngoscopes is obvious and can be attained readily.
本研究报告了软性和硬性喉镜在门诊环境中使用时的适当消毒方法。该调查提供的证据表明，相当数量的喉镜在使用过程中受到污染。用自来水简单冲洗有助于清除已知会干扰消毒剂效力的源自宿主的大量污垢。用3.2%的戊二醛（Cidexplus）消毒10分钟可有效消除微生物污染物。由于在我们的基线实验中，100多种分离物中包括了潜在有害微生物，因此从喉镜中消除细菌、病毒、真菌和原生动物的必要性显而易见，而且很容易实现。
