Diagnóstico situacional dos pontos críticos operacionais e avaliação da contaminação ambiental do bloco cirúrgico da Clínica Veterinária universitária da UFT

Abstract

The surgical room (SR) is one of the most complex structures in an hospital, because it responds to a demand that involves critical processes, which has also high risk in its own utilization. For the sucess of the activities that are perfomed in that place it is necessary dedication, professional synergy and a funcional phisical structure that is compatible with the activities that are developed there. The classification of surgical room as a critical area is due to the great risk of transmission of infections in this area, by virtue of invasive procedures of high complexity that are performed in the mentioned place. Also, it is highly provable that a specific type of hospital infection called "surgical site infection (SSI)" happens there, which is caused by the patient exposition during surgery. The morbidity indexes of the referred desease are related to the behaviour of the professional team that develops its activity in the SR, to the way that the activities are performed and also to the implementation of prevention activities. In order to prevent infeccious processes it must be considered the duration of the procedure; the number of people who participate in the surgery; paramentation of the surgical team; temperature and moisture of the operation room; use of personal adornment; how many times and for how long the door was open; type of the procedure; rotine adequation, method, cleaning materials that were used. This research objective is describe the mais aspects related to SR and SSI
