Why is it crucial in anaesthesia to comply with the prescribed guidelines for water treatment in the sterilisation process?
In ENT (ear, nose and throat) surgery in outpatient clinics, it is very important to provide sterile instruments for various surgical procedures. The most common operations in this area include
- Tonsillectomy (tonsillectomy)
- Septoplasty (nasal septum correction)
- Myringotomy and tympanostomy tubes
- Laryngectomy (removal of the larynx)
To ensure that procedures are carried out in a sterile environment, demineralised process water (demineralised water) is constantly required for the cleaning, disinfection and sterilisation processes. The quality of the water used plays a decisive role in minimising the risk of infection. Contamination by bacteria, viruses or fungi in the operating theatre can lead to serious infections such as otitis (ear infection), sinusitis (inflammation of the paranasal sinuses) or pharyngitis (inflammation of the throat). Such infections can make additional operations necessary and delay the patient's recovery. To reduce the risk of infection, safe reprocessing of the instruments with specially treated process water is required. Special water treatment systems are used for this purpose, which ensure the provision of ultrapure water. The water quality is continuously monitored to ensure that all recommended limits are adhered to. This constant monitoring contributes significantly to reducing the risk of infection and guarantees the safe and effective reprocessing of medical instruments.
