safe management of medical waste from patients with ebola. communication to the health team |
| description |
In the face of the outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) that took place in the African continent and the incidence of cases outside the primary focus location, it is necessary to prepare and communicate adequately the health team regarding the clinical management of the patient as well as safe working procedures and management of hazardous waste (due to its infectious characteristic) generated from patient care. Training and risk communication are key elements for the health team. The objective of this work is to review and develop a series of recommendations for the safe and comprehensive management of waste from patients with EVD, on the basis of world experiences on the topic and internal criteria for management of medical waste of health institutions. Another objective is to identify aspects regarding the communication of the risk of handling this waste, in order to reach safe standards that will reduce the impact of the disease on the health team. Results are presented in two sections; one referred to how to communicate and the other to what to communicate. Regarding how to communicate the risk of handling waste in the health team, the stages of a plan are detailed. With respect to the content, we present recommendations that can be taken as the basis for guidelines about internal management of medical waste in institutions treating cases of EVD. |

Ante el brote de la Enfermedad por Virus Ebola (EVE) suscitado en el continente Africano y la incidencia de casos fuera del área de foco primario, se hace necesario preparar y comunicar adecuadamente al equipo de Salud tanto el manejo clínico del paciente como los procedimientos de trabajo seguro y el manejo de los residuos peligrosos (por su característica infecciosa) que se generan de la atención. Un elemento clave es la capacitación y la comunicación del riesgo para el equipo de salud. El objetivo del presente trabajo es revisar y desarrollar una serie de recomendaciones para el manejo seguro e integral de los residuos de la atención de pacientes con EVE, en base a las experiencias mundiales en el tema y a criterios de ingeniería de gestión interna de los residuos de establecimientos de salud. Es propósito también identifi car aspectos de la comunicación del riesgo de manipular estos residuos, para el logro de los estándares seguros que disminuyan el impacto de la enfermedad en el equipo de salud. Los resultados se presentan en dos apartados, uno referido a cómo comunicar y el otro referido a qué comunicar. Respecto a cómo comunicar el riesgo de la manipulación de residuos en el equipo de salud, se detallaron las etapas de un plan. Respecto a los contenidos se detallaron recomendaciones que pueden tomarse como base de un manual de procedimientos de gestión interna de residuos Biopatogénicos de establecimientos de salud que abordan casos de EVE. Em frente do surto da doença por vírus Ébola (EVE) no continente Africano e a incidência de casos fora da área de foco primário, é necessário preparar e informar adequadamente a equipe de saúde tanto da gestão clínica do paciente bem como dos procedimentos de trabalho seguro e o manejo dos resíduos perigosos (pela sua natureza infecciosa) gerados durante os ciudados médicos. Um elemento-chave é a formação e comunicação de risco para a equipe de saúde. O alvo deste trabalho é revisar e desenvolver um conjunto de recomendações para a gestão dos resíduos segura e abrangente de cuidados de pacientes com EVE, com base em experiências globais sobre o assunto e critérios de gestão de resíduos de engenharia interna nos estabelecimentos hospitalares. Objetivo é também identifi car aspectos da comunicação de risco para lidar com esses resíduos, para atingir os padrões de segurança que reduzam o impacto da doença sobre a equipe de cuidados de saúde. Os resultados são apresentados em duas alíneas,uma delas sobre “como comunicar”, referindo-se a outra a “o que comunicar”. Em relação com a forma de comunicar o risco de manipulação de resíduos na equipe de saúde, foram detalhados os estágios de um plano. Sobre os conteúdos foram fornecidas diretrizes que podem ser tomadas como base para o manual de procedimentos internos para a gestão de resíduos Biopatogénicos de serviços de saúde que lidam com casos de EVE Escuela de Salud Pública y Ambiente.
