Resumo: | Backgound and Objectives: Surgical instruments are widely reprocessed, mainly in developing countries, where the cost of using these materials is high. Scientifi c literature indicates the absence of validated cleaning and sterilization processes. The study aimed at evaluating, through a literature review, the evidence to support or not the practice of reprocessing and reuse of originally single-use, medical-hospital materials. Methods: A total of 27 articles in English and Portuguese were selected from journals indexed in the LILACS, Pubmed and Medline databases, as well as studies published in ScienceDirect website using the following key words: sterilization, single-use articles, hospital infection and surgical instruments. Articles that did not fi t the study subject were excluded. Results: There was a great variety of studied instruments and reprocessing methods. Most articles emphasize the sterilization ineffectiveness, identifying microorganisms at the end of the process. Conclusion: Based on the current knowledge, it is important to consider each case validating surgical materials reprocessing and reuse protocols based on scientific knowledge. Based on the analysis of the study articles, we concluded that this practice cannot be performed indiscriminately. KEYWORDS: Sterilization. Cross infection. Surgical Equipment. Public Health. |

Public Health.Justificativa e Objetivos: Os instrumentos cirúrgicos são amplamente reprocessados, principalmente em países em desenvolvimento, onde os custos da utilização desses insumos são altos. A literatura científica aponta a ausência de processos validados de limpeza e esterilização. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica evidências que apoiem ou não a prática do reprocessamento e reutilização de instrumentos médico-hospitalares, a princípio de uso único. Método: Foram selecionados 27 artigos em revistas indexadas nas bases de dados LILACS, Pubmed e Medline, e pesquisas no Science Direct publicados sob os unitermos “esterilização”, “artigos de uso único”, “infecção hospitalar” e “aparelhos cirúrgicos” nos idiomas inglês e português. Foram excluídos os artigos que não contemplavam a temática do estudo. Resultados: Verificou-se grande variedade dos instrumentos estudados e formas de reprocessamento. A maioria dos artigos evidencia uma ineficácia da esterilização, identificando microrganismos ao final do processo. Conclusão: Baseado no conhecimento atual é importante considerar cada caso validando protocolos de reprocessamento e reuso dos materiais cirúrgicos com base em conhecimento científico. A partir da análise dos artigos em estudo, conclui-se que essa prática não pode ser realizada indiscriminadamente.Unisc2013-04-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/epidemiologia/article/view/295910.17058/reci.v3i2.2959Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção; Vol. 3 No. 2 (2013); 62-66Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção; v. 3 n. 2 (2013); 62-662238-3360reponame:Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecçãoinstname:Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul (UNISC)instacron:UNISCporhttps://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/epidemiologia/article/view/2959/2786Guerra, Leonardo MousinhoAlmendra Neto, Oswaldo LimaCosta, Dayane AlvesMesquita, Gerardo Vasconcelosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2019-01-21T12:58:13Zoai:ojs.online.unisc.br:article/2959Revistahttps://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/epidemiologia/indexONGhttp://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/epidemiologia/oai||liapossuelo@unisc.br|| julia.kern@hotmail.com||reci.unisc@gmail.com2238-33602238-3360opendoar:2019-01-21T12:58:13Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção - Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul (UNISC)false |
