(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-04-07) Lizárraga Gamarra, Ninfa Luz; Pérez Siguas, Rosa Eva
Objective: Systematize evidence of high scientific value about the effectiveness of control measures to prevent tuberculosis in health personnel. Materials and Methods: The aforementioned research work has a type of qualitative study, designed through retrospective review, cohort studies and systematic reviews. The instruments that support this research work are the databases of EBSCO, Cochrane Library, British Medical Journal, Pub Med, American Journal of Infection control. Results: A search was carried out for 10 scientific articles that were considered as the population, of which 3 (30%) came from retrospective reviews, 4 (40%) from cohort studies, and 3 (30%) were systematic reviews. 70% of articles demonstrate the effectiveness of control measures to prevent tuberculosis in health personnel, with the implementation and evaluation of the three administrative, environmental and respiratory protection control measures; The remaining 30% affirm that the lack or deficiency of the three control measures produces a risk of contracting tuberculosis in health personnel. Conclusions: Based on all the articles presented, 7/10 articles, it is concluded that the triad of administrative, environmental control and respiratory protection were jointly implemented, preventing the spread of tuberculosis in health personnel. 3/10 articles state that these separate control measures are not effective because they do not protect the worker from tuberculosis.

Effectiveness of high-level disinfection of medical devices to prevent infections in patients undergoing minimally invasive procedures
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-01-06) Neyra Gil, Lourdes Soraya; Cárdenas Cossio, Gisela Coralí; Glenni Garay, Zarely Zabeli
Objective: Systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of high-level disinfection in medical devices to prevent infections in patients undergoing minimally invasive procedures. Material and Methods: Systematic review that summarizes the results of various investigations, identifying what is most relevant to answer specific questions. The search has been limited to articles with full text that have been critically read, using the GRADE evaluation to assign their level of evidence. Results: In the final selection, 05 articles were chosen, finding that 40% (04) correspond to Brazil, Peru and Mexico and 10% (01) Asia (India). These are mostly experimental studies (10%), descriptive case series type (20%), systematic reviews (10%), controlled clinical trials (10%). 100% of the articles state that high-level disinfection (HLD) does not ensure the elimination of the most resistant microorganisms such as endospores and some mycobacterium, such as microorganisms of the Coccidia subclass such as M. Masiliense, so this process is not considered effective in preventing infections in minimally invasive procedures. Conclusions: High-level disinfection is not effective in medical devices to prevent infections in patients undergoing minimally invasive procedures.
