Résumé fourni par la source

Background: The use of sterile water in endoscopy is a com mon practice that is not based on available evidence.Literature suggests that the use of tap water in endoscopy is safe and appro priate, even for advanced procedures.We examined the financial and environmental cost savings at our institution after switching from using sterile water to tap water for endoscopy.Methods: We conducted a comparative analysis between a period of sterile water irrigation use (October 2022) in endoscopy to an equiva lent period of tap water irrigation use (October 2023).Advanced and invasive procedures such as endoscopic retrograde cholangio pancreatography continued to utilize sterile water during both study periods.Our analysis focused on the financial and environ mental impact of switching to tap water in our endoscopy unit.Results: The introduction of tap water led to a significant reduction in sterile water usage, from 336 to 192 bottles per month, saving $310.70 per month.Despite the decrease in sterile water usage, the number of procedures remained relatively stable, with 922 procedures during the sterile water phase com pared to 905 procedures during the tap water phase.The cost of irrigation water per procedure decreased from $0.80 to $0.47, representing a 59% cost reduction.Additionally, transitioning to tap water eliminated the need for 144 bottles per month, result ing in a monthly waste reduction of 17.45 kg from a single endoscopy unit.The estimated carbon footprint from produc tion alone was 54.18 kg CO 2 e, excluding sterilization, transpor tation, or waste management processes.Conclusion: Use of tap water in endoscopy has been proven to be safe and effective.An additional benefit is the financial and environmental cost savings of decreasing sterile water use.Implementation of tap water pro tocols in endoscopy units can be a simple step toward increasing sustainability in endoscopy. Comparing wait times for common elective general surgery procedures between immigrants and non-immigrants in British Columbia.
