Effectiveness of antimicrobial-impregnated catheters versus standard catheters in preventing phlebitis in patients with venous catheterization
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-01-06) Cárdenas Rojas, Maria Luisa; Gutiérrez Arista, Virginia Isabel; Pérez Siguas, Rosa Eva
All the scientific articles found and analyzed on the effectiveness of the catheter impregnated with antimicrobial versus a standard catheter for the prevention of phlebitis in patients with venous catheterization correspond to the type of research of Systematic Reviews. In our daily practice in patient care, the intravenous catheter impregnated with antimicrobial is not used, the use is only a standard catheter, so infections related to the catheter can develop, however, management is carried out with aseptic techniques. biosafety, reducing as much as possible some risks related to the catheter In our work, they show that the catheter impregnated with antimicrobial is effective in preventing phlebitis at the catheter insertion site in patients with vascular access, not only because of the benefits it provides, which are related to the reduction of phlebitis, but because the long-term cost benefit reduces hospital costs and reduces hospital stay. However, all articles agree in searching for more studies for the best evidence.

Effectiveness of using nonwoven fabric packaging to reduce contamination of sterile surgical instruments
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2018-01-27) Acosta Loli, Verónica María; Gutiérrez Arista, Virginia Isabel; Pretell Aguilar, Rosa Maria
Objectives: To analyze and systematize the evidence demonstrating the effectiveness in reducing contamination of sterile surgical instruments through the use of packaging with non-woven fabric. Materials and Methods: The study is a systematic review with an observational and retrospective design, synthesizing and analyzing 9 scientific articles according to the Grade system, focusing on the use of packaging with non-woven fabric for reducing contamination of sterile surgical instruments. The articles were obtained from the following databases: BVS, Lilacs, Scielo, PubMed, and Epistemonikos, and were critically assessed to determine their strength and level of evidence. Results: The population consists of 9 articles, of which 78% (7/9) are based on experimental methodological design, and 22% (2/9) are systematic reviews. 44% of the articles are from Brazil, 33% from the United States, 11% from India, and 11% from Singapore. Conclusions: 78% of the nine reviewed articles (7/9) demonstrate that the use of non-woven fabric packaging is effective in reducing contamination of sterile surgical instruments.
