Abstract

There is a need for a written and applied policy on the basis of hospital for sterilization and disinfection of anesthesia and respiratory equipment. This policy should include evidence-based approach as well as regular observation and review. On an institutional basis, it should be determined which method will be applied according to the equipment and intended use. Critical equipment includes instruments and devices that may come into contact with sterile tissue or vascular systems. It is recommended that all be sterile and disposable and should not be reused. Instruments with mucosal or impaired skin contact are defined as semi-critical, with a large proportion of anesthesia and respiratory equipment included in this group. There are different views on the fact that anesthesia equipment may be a source of infection.

Özet

Anestezi ve solunum ekipmanlarının sterilizasyonu ve dezenfeksiyonuna yönelik hastane bazında oluşturulacak yazılı ve uygulamalı bir politikaya gereksinim bulunmaktadır. Bu politika kanıta dayalı yaklaşımın yanı sıra düzenli gözlem ve gözden geçirmeyi de içermelidir. Kurumsal temelde, ekipman ve kullanım amacına göre hangi yöntemin uygulanacağı belirlenmelidir. Kritik ekipman steril doku veya vasküler sisteme teması olacak aletleri ve cihazları içerir. Tümünün steril ve tek kullanımlık olması ve kesinlikle yeniden kullanılmaması önerilmektedir. Mukoza veya bütünlüğü bozulmuş deri teması olan aletler yarı kritik olarak tanımlanmakta, anestezi ve solunum ekipmanlarının büyük bir kısmı bu grupta yer almaktadır. Anestezi ekipmanlarının infeksiyon kaynağı olabileceğine yönelik farklı görüşler karşımıza çıkmaktadır.
