Effective interventions to reduce occupational risks in personnel working in the operating room
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-09-29) Allende Burga, Esmeralda; Rivera Lozada de Bonilla, Oriana
Objective: Systematize the evidence on effective interventions in reducing occupational risks in personnel who work in the operating room. Materials and Methods: Observational and retrospective systematic review, which synthesizes the results of multiple primary investigations. They are an essential part of evidence-based nursing due to their rigorous methodology, identifying relevant studies to answer specific questions of clinical practice, the search has been restricted to articles with full text, and the selected articles were subjected to critical reading. using the grade system to assign recommendation strength. Results: Of the total number of articles analyzed, 10/10 show effective interventions to reduce and/or prevent risks to which personnel working in a surgical center are subjected. Of which the majority, 6/10, represent systematic review studies, 3/10 represent experimental studies and 1/10 represent a quasi-experimental study. Conclusions: The research reviewed showed that there are effective interventions that prevent risks and should be applied in the surgical center, such as the use of double gloves and blunt needles in surgeries, as well as the use of personal protective equipment, specifically masks. Have special equipment to reduce exposures, and the hepatitis B vaccine (VDP) among others. In this way favoring the prevention of occupational risks to which personnel working in a surgical center are exposed.

Effectiveness of using needles with safety devices in the prevention of needlestick injuries among healthcare staff
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2017-12-03) Sánchez Reluz, Mary Jacqueline; Terrel Gutiérrez, Evelyn Erika; Pretell Aguilar, Rosa Maria
Objective: To analyze and systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of using needles with safety devices in the prevention of needlestick injuries among healthcare personnel. Materials and Methods: The study type of this work is qualitative, with a systematic review design, consulting the following databases: Epistemonikos, Scielo, Cochrane Plus, Elsevier, Pubmed, Medline, and EBSCO, with a publication age of no more than 10 years, in English. Results: In the present study, a total of 22 research articles were analyzed, with a sample of 10 articles. Of these, 20% were systematic reviews, randomized trials, and cohort studies, respectively; and 10% were meta-analyses, quasi-experimental studies, case-control studies, and descriptive studies, respectively. The countries represented include the USA, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, and France. Conclusions: 100% of the studies conclude that the use of needles with safety devices is effective in preventing needlestick injuries, as it reduces percutaneous injuries, decreases the incidence rate of needlestick accidents, and significantly reduces the transmission of bloodborne infections. Additionally, 30% of these studies indicate that training in the proper use of these devices improves their effectiveness in preventing accidents.
