Medical ultrasound technology is widely used for diagnosis and therapy in clinical practice.Ultrasound probes,which are directly contact with patients,pose a potential risk of pathogen transmission.This expert consen-sus was developed by a multidisciplinary team based on international guidelines,standards in China,and the results of a national survey,aiming to reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infection through standardizing reprocessing of medical ultrasound probes,and formulating consensus recommendations with the Delphi method.The consensus clarifies the reprocessing principles for three types of ultrasound probes of different infection risks:external-use ul-trasound probes,interventional percutaneous ultrasound probes,and internal-use ultrasound probes,puts forward systematic suggestions on the reprocessing standards and disinfection levels of ultrasound probe isolation covers and coupling agents,the reprocessing procedures and methods of ultrasound probes,as well as architectural layout and management of reprocessing,so as to provide a scientific prevention and control framework for ensuring ultrasound diagnosis and therapy safety.

Fungi are widely present in the human environment and generally non-pathogenic.However,they may invade tissues and cause disease when host immunity is compromised or conditions conducive to fungal proliferation arise.A case of a 70-year-old woman with acute gastrointestinal perforation and secondary abdominal infection,admitted to the department of intensive care medicine(ICU)of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University on August 17,2021 was enrolled.Following emergency exploratory laparotomy with gastric perforation repair,partial small bowel resection,peritoneal lavage drainage,and jejunal feeding jejunostomy,the patient received imipenem and cilastatin sodium antimicrobial therapy.Despite these interventions,clinical deterioration ensued with septic shock and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome.Prompt initiation of antifungal therapy alongside existing anti-infective treatment,anti-shock management,continuous renal replacement therapy(CRRT),and invasive mechanical ventilation led to rapid clinical improvement.Notably,blood cultures obtained at admission revealed Candida albicans after 5 days in ICU,while pathological examination of gastric pyloric perforation margins(8 days post-admission)demonstrated abundant Candida and small bowel ulcer sections showed extensive Mucor infiltration.This case highlights critical lessons in ICU management:Invasive fungal infection should be strongly suspected when gastrointestinal perforation patients deteriorate despite adequate surgical intervention and empirical antibacterial therapy;Timely fungal diagnostic workup should be initiated,utilizing validated fungal infection risk assessment tools to guide rapid diagnosis;Early empirical antifungal therapy proves crucial for improving outcomes in such critical scenarios.
