BIOSSEGURANÇA EM FOCO: IMPORTÂNCIA DO CONTROLE SANITÁRIO DE INSTRUMENTALIZAÇÃO FISIOTERÁPICA – UMA REVISÃO

Abstract

In the hospital environment, in many cases, contamination and infections can occur through the contact of patients with infectious agents such as viruses, bacteria and protozoa. These contacts can occur through air, water, directly with a host of the disease and through contact with materials that are contaminated. Thus, the need to address the importance of hospital biosafety becomes imminent, emphasizing that the hygiene and sterilization of materials and equipment is essential to guarantee the safety of patients against infections. Based on this evidence, we can discuss the use of physical therapy materials that are shared by several users and these must be cleaned and sterilized with a certain frequency, preventing possible infections that may pass to others. In this context, this course conclusion work meets the need to explain the dangers of contamination in a hospital environment as well as the need for biosecurity in this environment. Arguing and building a bibliographic analysis in order to inform and serve as a manual for future professionals looking for information relevant to this area.
