Resumo: The hospital environment consists of many elements. Air quality, water supply and the inanimate surfaces that surround the patient are directly related to hospital infections, for they are a focus of infection and transmission of diseases. The cleaning and disinfection of a patients unit is one of the nursing team responsibilities. Its objective is to offer a safer biological environment. This study aims to compare two commonly used hospital bed cleaning techniques to test their effectiveness in reducing microorganisms. It was performed in a medium sized hospital in the São Paulo. Technique 1 employed a unidirectional cleaning from the cleanest to the most contaminated area. Technique 2 used circular movements not considering the degree of contamination in the mattress's areas. The samples were collected from 12 beds before and after the cleaning. Once the samples were collected and analyzed results demonstrated that cleaning technique 2 allowed a greater reduction in microbial count compared to technique 1. Although results showed a greater effectiveness of technique 2 in relation to technique 1 further studies are necessary in a larger number of hospital beds, new products and techniques

El equipo de enfermería tiene la responsabilidad de limpiar y desinfectarei ambiente del paciente con miras a ofrecer un entorno biológico seguro. Este estudio tiene como objetivo comparar dos técnicas de higienización de camas hospitalarias normalmente utilizadas en el día a día para probar su eficacia en la reducción de los microorganismos. La investigación fue realizada en un hospital mediano de San Pablo, donde se estableció como Técnica 1 la limpieza unidireccional, es decir, desde la zona más limpia hacia la más contaminada del colchón y como Técnica 2 los movimientos circulares independientemente del grado de contaminación presente en los ditintos lugares del colchón. Las muestras fueron recogidas antes y después de la limpieza con ambas técnicas en 12 camas ocupadas. Una vez recogidas y analizadas las muestras se observó que la técnica 2 (délos movimientos circulares) mostró mayor reducción en la cantidad de microbios en comparación con la otra técnica. De ello se deduce que, aunque la técnica 2 indique ser más eficiente en el recuento microbiano, es necesario realizar nuevos estudios con más camas, otros productos y nuevas técnicasO meio ambiente hospitalar, que inclui o ar, a água e as superficies inanimadas que cercam o paciente, está diretamente relacionado às infecções hospitalares, proporcionando focos de contato e de transmissão. A limpeza e a desinfecção da unidade do paciente constituem algumas das responsabilidades da equipe de enfermagem, que procura oferecer um ambiente biologicamente seguro. Portanto, com este estudo, objetivou-se comparar duas técnicas de higienização do leito hospitalar, comumente utilizadas na prática diária, procurando testar sua eficácia na redução de microrganismos. A pesquisa foi realizada em um hospital de médio porte do interior do Estado de São Paulo, em que se instituiu como Técnica 1 a limpeza unidirecional, no sentido da área mais limpa para a mais contaminada; e Técnica 2, os movimentos circulares independentes do grau de contaminação presentes nas diversas áreas do colchão. As amostras foram coletadas antes e depois da desinfecção em ambas as técnicas, utilizando-se 12 leitos ocupados dessa instituição. Após coletadas e analisadas as amostras, observou-se que a Técnica 2 (composta de movimentos circulares) apresentou maior redução na contagem microbiana, quando comparada à outra técnica. Conclui-se, assim, que apesar de a Técnica 2 apontar maior redução na contagem microbiana, faz-se necessária a condução de novos estudos com maior número de leitos e também relacionados a produtos e ao aprimoramento de novas técnicasUniversidade Federal de Minas Gerais2011-06-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/plainapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/50389REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; Vol. 15 No. 2 (2011)REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; Vol. 15 Núm. 2 (2011)REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; v. 15 n. 2 (2011)2316-93891415-2762reponame:Reme (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGporhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/50389/41951https://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/50389/41952Copyright (c) 2011 Reme: Revista Mineira de Enfermageminfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilva, Nayara de OliveiraFerraz, Patricia de CamposSilva, André Luiz Teodoro daMalvezzi, Cristiane KarinePoveda, Vanessa de Brito2024-01-24T16:07:27Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/50389Revistaremeufmg@gmail.comPUBhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/oairemeufmg@gmail.com2316-93891415-2762opendoar:2024-01-24T16:07:27Reme (Online) - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false
