Interventions that facilitate the correct cleaning of biomedical material in a sterilization center

Abstract

It is a systematic review of scientific articles with full text and summaries of selected articles. They underwent critical reading, using their level of evidence. Ten articles related to the work we performed were chosen.

Of the total articles analyzed, 20% demonstrate that cleaning biomedical material is the primary step to perform the other processes. 30% refer to demineralized water and the use of enzymatic detergents for cleaning biomedical material. 20% refer to the use of washers in the cleaning of biomedical material, which guarantees the most efficient removal of microorganisms compared to manual washing. 20% indicate that educational interventions for staff working in clean areas are effective. Nurses will supervise the proper cleaning of materials and ensure the material is clean and ready for sterilization.

Conclusion: Trained personnel who follow biosecurity rules, work conscientiously, and are supervised by trained nursing staff will achieve clean material, without the risk of deterioration of biomedical material, thus preventing an increase in hospital costs.

Es una Revisión Sistemática de artículos científicos con texto completo y resúmenes de artículos seleccionados. Se sometieron a una lectura crítica, utilizando su grado de evidencia. Se eligieron 10 artículos con temas referentes al trabajo que realizamos. Del total de artículos analizados el 20% demuestran que la limpieza de material biomédico es el principal paso para realizar los demás procesos, el 30% refiere sobre el agua desmineralizada y uso de los detergentes enzimáticos para la limpieza del material biomédico, el 20% refieren sobre uso de las lavadoras en la limpieza del material biomédico garantiza la eliminación de los microorganismos más eficiente que el lavado manual; el 20% refieren que las intervenciones educativas al personal que labora en el área limpia son eficaces; las enfermeras supervisarán la limpieza correcta del material y garantizarán un material limpio y listo para ser Esterilizado. Conclusión: Personal capacitado que cumpla reglas de bioseguridad con un trabajo a conciencia y supervisado por el personal de enfermería capacitado, obtendrá un material limpio, sin riesgos de deterioro del material biomédico y con ello el aumento de los costos hospitalarios.
