Management of gastrointestinal endoscopy unit during post covid-19 endemic outbreak: A report from Wuhan epicenter.

ABSTRACT: The COVID-19 pandemic is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and causing a global public health emergency. During the outbreak, Wuhan was the first reported and hardest-hit city. With the dramatic drop in number of confirmed cases and subsequent ending of Wuhan lock down, asymptomatic carriers and patients in their recovery period still pose an increased risk. Strict and effective infection control protocols should be established and followed.

Project description:Objective This study aimed to evaluate the current status of cleaning and disinfection management for digestive endoscopy, provide data for standardization processing techniques, and improve the quality of cleaning and disinfection. Methods Two reviewers independently and comprehensively searched the PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, and CBM databases on February 1, 2023. The inclusion and exclusion criteria were strictly followed during the literature survey and data extraction. All observational studies detailing the current cleaning and disinfection management status for digestive endoscopy in hospitals were included. Meta-analysis was performed using STATA 16.0 software. Results After removing different articles, the meta-analysis finally included 54 articles associated with multiple countries. The authors favor auditing staffers to confirm compliance with guidelines. The meta-analysis results indicated a configuration rate of 76% (95% CI: 68-83%) for separate rooms designated for reprocessing; 79% (95% CI: 72-84%) for reprocessing rooms with adequate ventilation; 30% (95% CI: 24-36%) for automated endoscope washer-disinfectors; 68% (95% CI: 55-81%) for complete protective equipment usage; 90% (95% CI: 83-95%) for the configuration rate of endoscope and accessory storage cabinets; 50% (95% CI: 38-61%) for changing enzymatic-type detergents after each use; 51% (95% CI: 30-71%) for the use of purified or sterilized water for final rinsing; 80% (95% CI: 70-88%) for monitoring disinfectant concentration; 87% (95% CI: 80-93%) for microbial monitoring; and 44% (95% CI: 26-62%) for the usage of protective equipment. Conclusion The configuration of the automated endoscope washer-disinfector, non-standard cleaning and disinfection procedures, and a lack of occupational protection awareness among personnel responsible for cleaning and disinfecting digestive endoscopy were all apparent issues. It was suggested that all departments enhance their levels of management and supervision, standardize reprocessing procedures and quality control details, upgrade hardware facilities and spatial layouts, reinforce personnel training, and increase staff awareness of nosocomial infection risks.

Project description:The administration of anesthesia during gastrointestinal endoscopy potentially contributes to post-anesthesia cognitive dysfunction (PACD), with detrimental impacts for cognitive function. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) towards PACD among patients undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopy in Wenzhou region. This cross-sectional study was conducted between June and August 2023, and recruited individuals undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopy. Demographic data and KAP scores were collected through questionnaires. Pearson correlation analysis was applied to evaluate correlations between KAP scores, and logistic regression was utilized to identify influential factors. We collected 405 valid questionnaires, with 54.57% being male and 29.88% aged 31-40 years. Mean KAP scores were 13.99 ± 4.80, 16.19 ± 2.35, and 15.61 ± 2.86, respectively (possible range: 0-16, 0-25, and 0-25). Pearson correlation analysis demonstrated significant positive correlations between knowledge and practice (r = 0.209, P < 0.001), attitude and practice (r = 0.233, P < 0.001), and knowledge and attitude (r = 0.328, P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression revealed negative associations of opting for standard gastrointestinal endoscopy (without anesthesia) with knowledge (OR = 0.227, 95%CI: 0.088-0.582, P = 0.002) and practice scores (OR = 0.336, 95%CI: 0.154-0.731, P = 0.006). Additionally, the presence of cognitive-related diseases or symptoms before undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopy was negatively associated with knowledge scores (OR = 0.429, 95%CI: 0.225-0.818, P = 0.010). Patients undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopy demonstrated good knowledge, neutral attitudes, and moderate practices regarding PACD. Educational interventions and behavior modification are recommended, particularly for individuals with lower monthly income, undergoing standard gastrointestinal endoscopy, or experiencing cognitive-related conditions.
