Effectiveness of polyhexanide-betadine use to reduce healing time and bacterial load in the cleaning of chronic wounds
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2018-07-08) Cordova Purizaca, Magaly Jakeline; Yacolca Galarza, Rocío Mery; Bonilla Asalde, César Antonio
The observational and retrospective systematic reviews: The search was restricted to full-text articles, and the selected articles were subjected to a critical reading, using the GRADE evaluation to identify their level of evidence. Results: In the final selection, 11 reviewed articles located in the PubMed and SciELO databases were chosen. These articles demonstrate that the use of polyhexanide-betaine is effective in the cleaning of chronic wounds: it reduces healing time, bacterial load, and pain. Conclusions: The reviewed studies provide evidence of the effectiveness of polyhexanide-betaine, as it provides favorable conditions for cleaning chronic wounds: it reduces inflammatory signs, bacterial load, and pain, accelerating the healing process.

Efficacy of high-level disinfection in safe disinfection of endoscopes
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 1905-07-09) Rubio Ampuero, Rosa Elena; Gómez Gonzales, Walter Edgar
Objective: Determine the effectiveness of High Level Disinfection (HLD) in the safe disinfection of endoscopes. Methodology: Systematic review whose population is made up of 06 published and indexed scientific articles, data collection was carried out through Lilacs, Scielo, Cochrane Plus, Medline, the analysis was carried out through a summary table, evaluating the quality of evidence and strength of recommendation in a critical and intensive manner for each article according to the established technical criteria, guaranteeing compliance with ethical principles. Results: At the national level, the Herediana Medical Journal concludes that the bacterial load before the cleaning and disinfection process of 50 endoscopes was positive in 88% and after the process positive in 26%. At the international level, the Chilean Journal of Infectology refers to infections exogenous pneumonias such as post-bronchoscopy pneumonia, which reach incidence rates, according to the authors, between 0.6% and 6.9% of the procedures.(6).The Spanish Society of Gastroenterology refers in 02 studies that DAN is not sufficient, both for endoscopes and accessories. The predominant bacteria in the positive cultures were Pseudomona Aeruginosa and Klebsiella Pneumoniae. Conclusion: The systematic review shows that DAN is not sufficient for the safe disinfection of endoscopes in sterilization centers.
