MICROBIOLOGICAL QUALITY BASSINET AIR, SECOND LEVEL HOSPITAL
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2014, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Environmental surveillance in secondary hospitals is not found or is rarely identified because there are no standardized national parameters that support air quality for inpatients. The objective to study this is to determine the existence of environmental monitoring strategies in hospital units for the control of nosocomial infections from the query in information sources, and indexed information databases. A critical analysis of the subject in magazines detected in sources of information such as Thomson Reuters, and CossRef PubMed indexed and Mexican Official Standards was conducted. 26 items were analyzed, of which 34 % were discarded due to the performing validation of the literature, 47 % were validated through Pub Med and only 6 % by Thomson Reuters; Analysis of air into hospital units show agents that can cause nosocomial infections such as Acinetobacter baumannii, Citrobacter freundii and Klebsiella. The international literature has shown well supported studies on the existence of nosocomial pathogens in the air. In Mexico there are few reports of the microbiological quality of air in their hospital units because the Mexican Official Standards for the prevention of nosocomial infections have not been standardized for evaluating these risks. The presence of epidemiological emergencies such as influenza or SARS created the need for updating regulations to allow constant monitoring of air quality for inpatients and thus face new threats to the health of nations.
