| Core Tip |
The current method of cleaning endoscopes with manual brushing damages the scope channel over time. Du et al devised and tested the efficacy of a spray flushing technique in reprocessing flexible gastroscopes in a randomised controlled trial. This technique, which removes debris to a greater extent and causes less damage to the gastroscope, could significantly improve the reprocessing of endoscopes. The validity and reliability of this study depend on several additional factors, such as the sampling and blinding methods, the pressure and content of spraying, and the length and type of the endoscope. Understanding these factors is crucial for successfully implementing the spray flushing method in endoscope reprocessing practices. |
