摘要
Infection related issues are an important concern in ambulatory endoscopy centers. Safety is paramount. Maintenance of effective infection control processes is a crucial component of safety in endoscopy, and proper reprocessing of endoscopic equipment must be viewed as an important part of any procedure. Critical issues in reducing the risk of transmission of infection during endoscopic procedures include general infection control principles, safe injection practices and meticulous endoscope reprocessing.
