ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Purpose to critically review all literature concerning the cost-effectiveness of flexible ureteroscopy comparing single-use with reusable scopes. Materials and Methods A systematic online literature review was performed in PubMed, Embase and Google Scholar databases. All factors potentially affecting surgical costs or clinical outcomes were considered. Prospective assessments, case control and case series studies were included. Results 741 studies were found. Of those, 18 were duplicated and 77 were not related to urology procedures. Of the remaining 646 studies, 59 were considered of relevance and selected for further analysis. Stone free and complication rates were similar between single-use and reusable scopes. Operative time was in average 20% shorter with digital scopes, single-use or not. Reusable digital scopes seem to last longer than optic ones, though scope longevity is very variable worldwide. New scopes usually last four times more than refurbished ones and single-use ureterorenoscopes have good resilience throughout long cases. Longer scope longevity is achieved with Cidex and if a dedicated nurse takes care of the sterilization process. The main surgical factors that negatively impact device longevity are lower pole pathologies, large stone burden and non-use of a ureteral access sheath. We have built a comprehensive financial cost-effective decision model to flexible ureteroscope acquisition. Conclusions The cost-effectiveness of a flexible ureteroscopy program is dependent of several aspects. We have developed a equation to allow a literature-based and adaptable decision model to every interested stakeholder. Disposable devices are already a reality and will progressively become the standard as manufacturing price falls.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Validar o protocolo de limpeza dos instrumentais utilizados em procedimentos videolaparosscópicos. Métodos: Tratou-se de um estudo transversal, realizado em um hospital universitário. Utilizaram-se o teste para detecção de proteínas e adenosina trifosfato a fim de se avaliar a limpeza. Adotou-se como parâmetro de limpeza a recuperação de até 200 unidades relativas de luz (RLU). Resultados: Obteve-se resultado negativo do resíduo de proteína para todos os itens. para o teste de detecção de adenosina trifosfato, a leitura de RLU foi inferior a 200 par os itens de menor complexidade. Enquanto que, para os de maior, ela foi acima do esperado em quatro itens, fato que evidenciou a necessidade de revisão do protocolo. Após isso, os testes de adenosina trifosfato foram repetidos, alcançando redução da leitura de RLU e validação do protocolo. Conclusão: O processamento do material de produtos para a saúde envolve análises crítica e reflexiva, além de conhecimento e poder de decisão...

ABSTRACT

The reuse of medical devices marked as ‘single use’ by manufacturers has been going on for several decades. The process has been rationalized and legislated in the West as well as in Japan. However, the practice continues in an unregulated manner in India due to a paucity of guidance from the Food and Drug Administration in India. We trace the evolution of reuse policies, look at the prevalent practices in the Indian and international contexts, analyse the available Indian literature and address the ethical and economic implications of reuse. We also suggest some guidelines which may be adopted to formulate policies.

ABSTRACT

Estudo descritivo-exploratório que teve como objetivo conhecer o perfil e ações do operador do reprocessamento de artigos críticos nas unidades básicas de saúde de um município do Estado de São Paulo. Das 34 unidades básicas de saúde, verificou-se que 32,4 por cento destes operadores receberam treinamentos admissionais e 8,8 por cento há menos de um ano. Eles exerciam funções concomitantes ao reprocessamento como: imunização (11,7 por cento), curativos (26,4 por cento) e coletas de exames (23,5 por cento). Esses resultados podem influenciar negativamente na qualidade do processo, limitando o controle de infecção nos locais estudados.


Descriptve-exploratory study that aimed to outline the profile and the actions of workers who conduct the reprocessing of critical devices at primary health care units in a city in the State of São Paulo. Thirty-four primary health care units were surveyed. Individuals responsible for reprocessing are nursing assistants (88.2 percent), that conducted concomitantly activities related to immunization (11.7 percent), dressing (26.4 percent) collection of samples for exams (23.5 percent); 32.4 percent had received training at the beginning of their reprocessing activities, and 8,82 percent at least one year before. The lack of dully skilled individuals may influence the quality of the process and constitute a limiting factor for the control of cross infection.


Estudio descritivo-exploratório que tuvo como objetivo conocer el perfíl y las acciones del profesional que realiza reprocesamiento de artículos críticos en las unidades básicas de salud en un municipio del Estado de São Paulo. Fueron estudiados 34 ubidades, en donde los responsables por el reprocesamiento son los auxiliares de enfermería (88,2 por ciento). Ejercian simultaneamente: actividades con inmunización (11,7 por ciento), curativos (26,4 por ciento) y colectas de examenes (23,5 por ciento); 32,4 por ciento recibieron entrenamientos en la admission y 8,82 por ciento hace menos de un año. Estos resultados pueden influenciar en la calidad del proceso y ser um factor limitante para el control de infección cruzada en los locales estudiados.

ABSTRACT

A integridade das luvas cirúrgicas durante procedimentos de Cirurgia Bucal pode sofrer avarias. Dentro desse contexto, a reutilização das mesmas, seja para procedimentos invasivos ou não invasivos, prática ainda usada em alguns setores de saúde, que alegam ganho financeiro devido a poucos recursos disponíveis, é um risco desnecessário para o profissional e para o paciente. Assim, esse estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a eficiênciados testes de inspeção visual, auditiva e tátil, bem como variações dessas técnicas, empregados na detecçãode perfurações em luvas cirúrgicas. Quarenta pares de luvas cirúrgicas receberam perfurações com diferentesmateriais pérfuro-cortantes e foram submetidos a diferentes testes para avaliar a eficiência dos mesmos na detecção das perfurações. Os resultados mostram que os testes comumente utilizados para verificação de perfurações em luvas cirúrgicas, não são capazes de detectar todas as perfurações. Os achados demonstramque está totalmente contra-indicada a reutilização de luvas, sendo um risco desnecessário para o profissional e o paciente.


The integrity of the surgical gloves during procedures of Oral Surgery can suffer damages. Inside of this context, reuse of same for invasive or not invasive procedures, practice used in some health sectors who makeuse of it justify such practice through financial benefits an unnecessary risk both to the professional and the patient.Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the visual, auditory and tactile, as well as variations of these techniques, inspection tests used in thedetection of perforations in surgical gloves. Forty pairs of surgical gloves have holes with different perforationsmaterials and were subjected to various tests to assess the efficiency of them in detection of holes. The results show that the tests commonly used about to verification of perforations in surgical gloves, are not capable of detectingall the perforations. The finds demonstrate that is fully not indicated the reuse of gloves, being an unnecessary risk about to the professional and the patient.
