In the modern medical system, the operating room is an important place for treating patients, and its cleaning and disinfection are crucial. Among them, the disinfection of the anesthesia breathing circuit is an important link related to the success of the operation and the safety of the patient. So, is it necessary to use an anesthesia breathing circuit disinfector in the operating room? This article will explore this issue from multiple dimensions.

1.Importance of disinfection of anesthesia breathing circuit

During surgery, anesthesia machines and ventilators provide patients with oxygen, inhaled anesthetic drugs, and exhaust waste gases to ensure the stability of patients' vital signs. However, the internal circuits of the machines are prone to accumulate gas, secretions and other pollutants exhaled by patients during use, becoming a breeding ground for germs. If not cleaned and disinfected in a timely and effective manner, these pollutants may re-enter the next patient's body through the breathing circuit, causing cross infection and even causing serious hospital infection incidents. Therefore, it is very important to disinfect anesthesia machines and ventilators, especially the internal circuits.

2.Advantages of anesthesia breathing circuit disinfection machine

The anesthesia breathing circuit disinfector is a machine specially used to disinfect the internal circuits of anesthesia machines and ventilators.

High-efficiency sterilization

anesthesia breathing circuit disinfection machine adopts advanced disinfection technology, which can effectively kill bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms, and achieve a high level of disinfection effect. And these disinfectants are non-corrosive and easy to use.

Automated Operation

Anesthesia breathing circuit disinfection machines are mostly controlled by computer chips, and the entire disinfection process is highly automated. The operator only needs to make simple settings, and the machine can automatically complete the disinfection work, greatly reducing the complexity and error rate of manual operation.

Environmental safety

During the disinfection process, the anesthesia breathing circuit disinfector uses an air filtration device to ensure that the emission of residual gas after disinfection meets the national emission standards, does not harm human health, and does not pollute the environment.

3.The significance of using anesthesia breathing circuit disinfection machine

① Comply with medical regulations According to relevant regulations and standards of the medical industry, medical devices and equipment in the operating room must be cleaned and disinfected regularly.

② Improve medical quality The operating room is one of the core departments of the hospital, and its medical quality is directly related to the patient's life safety and the hospital's reputation. Regular disinfection using an anesthesia breathing circuit sterilizer can ensure the sterility of anesthesia equipment, reduce the risk of medical infection, and thus improve medical quality.

③ Protect the rights and interests of patients. As recipients of medical services, the rights and interests of patients should be fully protected. Using an anesthesia breathing circuit disinfection machine for regular disinfection to reduce the risk of infection for patients is a manifestation of being responsible for the health of patients.

4.Practical guidance on the use of anesthesia breathing circuit disinfection machine

①Choose the right sterilizer: Choose the right sterilizer based on the specific needs of the operating room and the model of the anesthesia machine.

②Standardized operating procedures: When using the anesthesia breathing circuit disinfection machine, the operating procedures should be strictly followed to ensure that the disinfection effect meets the standards. At the same time, the disinfection machine should be regularly maintained and serviced to ensure that it is in good working condition.
③Strengthen training and guidance: Medical institutions should strengthen the training and guidance of medical staff so that they can master the use and precautions of anesthesia breathing circuit disinfection machines. At the same time, invite technical personnel from manufacturers to provide on-site guidance and technical support.

④Regular disinfection and inspection: For anesthesia machines used by patients without infectious diseases, it is recommended to disinfect them once every 7-10 days. For anesthesia machines used by patients with infectious diseases, it is recommended to disinfect them once for each case.
