“…5 An accurate estimate of the infection risk associated with endoscopic procedures has yet to be determined. 6 Most infectious outbreaks linked to endoscopes have been associated with documented breaches of reprocessing. [7][8][9] Recently, outbreaks involving multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) occurred after endoscopes were reportedly reprocessed according to guidelines.…”

“…This number was derived from review of the literature in 1993, at which time only one report of endoscopy-associated infection was present in the medical literature (4). More recent data suggest this risk is vastly underestimated, due to underreporting of cross-contamination, infection, and other adverse patient reactions in the peer-reviewed literature and lack of detailed surveillance for postendoscopic infections (20). In part, this may be because post-GI endoscopy infections are commonly attributed to translocation of the patient's endogenous flora, unless the organism is unusual (e.g., Salmonella) or multidrug resistant (4).…”

“…Estima-se que os casos de infecção relacionados a esse procedimento seja de um caso para 1,8 milhão de procedimentos (Kimmey et al, 1993). Entretanto, tal valor tem sido apontado como passível de subestimação em consequência de erro matemático (Ofstead et al, 2013).…”

“…Não se pode descartar também a possibilidade de subnotificação dos casos de infecção relacionados aos procedimentos endoscópicos gastrointestinais (Ofstead et al, 2013). A endoscopia gastrointestinal consiste em um exame de caráter ambulatorial, em que os pacientes não são acompanhados sistematicamente após a realização dos exames para a vigilância e notificação de possíveis eventos adversos relacionados ao procedimento, apesar de recomendação nesse sentido (Siegel et al, Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee -HICPAC, 2007).…”
