Avaliação das práticas de prevenção e controle de infecção relacionadas ao cateter venoso central : indicadores clínicos

Abstract

Health services has developed actions and programmes targeting the qualification of its work processes, in order to reduce, prevent and elimiinar quality deficiencies and which also meet the needs and expectations of users. Different evaluations of strategies in health practices has been adopted, allowing the identification of the conditions under which assists practices are performed. Hospital-acquired infections pose significant risk to the health of users, and among these, bloodstream infection central venous catheter-related, given the associated mortality, especially when it involves serious patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU). Thus, this study aimed to evaluate compliance and non-compliance of practices for the prevention of infection of the bloodstream of central venous catheter related sojourn (ICS-ACVC), through clinical indicators in a therapy unit Intensive. This is an observational study, sectional, with quantitative approach, structured from the "Handbook of practical assessment of hospital infection control and prevention", held in a private network hospital of Fortaleza/Ceará. The universe of study was composed of selected practices assessment opportunities, conducted by health professionals (doctors and nursing professionals) in patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit of the institution and who went through the procedure of central venous catheter insertion of sojourn. The sample was based on expected 80% compliance with 2064 evaluations distributed among selected practices, carried out by means of direct observation or record in charts. According to the results, the CSPI, indicator presents greater overall compliance index (62.5%), then the CSCM indicator, presents general compliance less than ideal, with only 45%, however when analysed each item that makes up this indicator it can be observed that this inferiority is mainly the non-realization of the practice of disinfection of hubs and connectors with 0.5% (17.5%) also and exchange of equipment and transducers as recommendation (13.5%). The CSQI indicator, presented general compliance low (12.5%), due to non-compliance of some practices such as: use of sterile field expanded at the time of installation of the catheter (30%) and the use of antiseptic of vehicle alcohol for skin preparation before the LP (37.5%). Already the HMSEL indicator presented general compliance index null. It is concluded that, although the evaluation of registration practices, on-call time, percutaneous insertion, presence of Occlusive dressing after catheter insertion, registry and periodicity curative catheter Exchange have reached compliance similar to or greater than 80% expected, other practices need a new elaboration of strategies that ensure lasting adhesion control practices and prevention of ICS-ACVC, associated with the analysis continues working conditions and availability of material.
