Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Study objective: To clarify the risk of exposure to indirect contact and transmission of environmental objects during digestive endoscopy diagnosis and treatment for patients and medical staff, simulating by using Vitamin B2 solution.

Study design: This is a case-only research.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In the study, the object surface of the digestive endoscopy room is preliminarily analyzed, and several key exposure units, such as potential high-frequency touch areas such as the surface of the bed unit, are screened and defined. A fluorescence photographing system is arranged in the digestive endoscopy room, and the exposure unit before treatment is photographed with the best excitation wavelength of the fluorescent marker as the light source, to get the experimental background reference. Then, patients undergoing digestive endoscopy in the same endoscopy work unit (usually half a day) are selected. Before entering the digestive center, the hands of patients are fluorescently marked with vitamin B2 mixed hand sanitizer 1ml (vitamin B2 0.12mg/ml). Meanwhile, the process of the gastroscopy is recorded by camera for the recognition of touch behaviors. Then, the doctors and nurses give routine care and procedure. Based on the fluorescence tracing and detection methods, the indoor light source is turned off after each selected endoscopy work unit, and the fluorescence residue on the surface of key exposed units is photographed. The environmental surfaces touched by the patient are sampled by the wiping method. Then the video of the gastroscopy process is analyzed for the recognition of touch behaviors. The dosage is detected by the Fluoro Max-4® fluorophotometer (HORIBA, Japan), which is quantified as a cumulative mass (μg) over all the exposure time.
