Together with Consulting Editor Dr. Charles Lightdale, Dr. Jacques
Van Dam has put together the first ever monograph that tackles the
challenges of infection prevention by endoscopists and
interventional endoscopists. Dr. Van Dam has selected authors who
have learned valuable lessons in hospitals where
antibiotic-resistant infections occurred as well as regulating
bodies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), who are trying to both
resolve what happened and create, as much as possible, an
evidenced-based response in an effort to protect the public.
Articles are specifically devoted to the following topics:
Introduction to Transmission of Infection: Potential Agents
Transmitted by Endoscopy; Genetic Mutation and Natural Selection of
Resistant Bacteria: How did We Get Here; Nosocomial Infections: A
History of Hospital-Acquired Infections; Endoscope as Vector for
Transmission Methods for Endoscope Reprocessing; Novel Algorithms
for Reprocessing, Drying and Storing; Quality Systems Approach for
Endoscope Reprocessing: You Don't Know What you Don't Know; Role of
the FDA: From Device Regulation to Crisis Management; Hospital
Outbreaks; Patient as Vector and Victim; Society Guidelines: Where
is the Consensus; New-Age Antibiotics; Role of the CDC: From
Hospital Outbreak to Crisis Management. Readers will come away with
latest information they need to prevent infections in their
endoscopy suites and hospitals.
