This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La aparición de brotes en los establecimientos de salud pone de manifiesto que los entornos de atención médica para pacientes agudos pueden tener un papel determinante en la propagación de enfermedades infecciosas. Por ello, las prácticas de prevención y control de infecciones (PCI) son hoy más pertinentes que nunca, en especial para hacer frente a los efectos de la pandemia de COVID-19. Las medidas de PCI descansan directamente en el personal de salud, pero los equipos de gestión, administración y dirección de los establecimientos de salud son un actor clave. Y a ellos corresponde llevar a cabo la formulación de políticas y procedimientos, la dotación y la capacitación de los recursos humanos y la provisión de insumos, entre otras acciones. En consonancia con el componente básico 6 de seguimiento y evaluación de las prácticas de PCI y de notificación de los resultados, recogido en las Directrices sobre componentes básicos para los programas de prevención y control de infecciones a nivel nacional y de establecimientos de atención de salud para pacientes agudos de la Organización Mundial de la Salud, esta publicación presenta un conjunto de indicadores para orientar el monitoreo y la evaluación de las medidas administrativas de los componentes de PCI. Los indicadores y sus fichas técnicas están referidos a la estructura, al proceso y a los resultados de la atención de salud. Esta publicación evidencia el apoyo permanente que la Organización Panamericana de la Salud presta a los países en el fortalecimiento de la PCI. Su objetivo es contribuir a que la gerencia de los establecimientos de salud disponga de información útil para garantizar la seguridad y aumentar la capacidad de respuesta a los brotes de manera oportuna.

Book excerpt: Los objetivos del proyecto son la disminucion de las infecciones intrahospitalarias, la mortalidad y el costo que producen. Al final del proyecto se comprobo la disminucion de la infecciones intrahospitalarias en un 25 por ciento, se aumento la informacion sobre mortalidad y costo, no se evaluo el impacto de estos dos indicadores. El proyecto intervino por medio de a) la capacitacion del personal hospitalario para mejorar las fuentes de informacion epidemiologica aumentando la notificacion de las infecciones y la informacion epidemiologica relacionada con la mortalidad, costo, factores de riesgo, brotes epidemicos y los patrones de resistencia a los antimicrobianos. b) Se capacito al personal de los comites de infecciones para realizar programas de medidas de control de acuerdo al diagnostico epidemiologico y administrativo local. El personal de los comites fue capacitado en metodologia para la educacion en servicio del personal hospitalario. Se prepararon normas y procedimientos de aspectos criticos de la atencion en salud; aislamiento de pacientes, procedimientos invasivos, pabellon quirurgico, unidades de cuidados intensivos, neonatologia y otras. Se establecieron programas de mantencion de equipos y se aporto a los hospitalescon esterilizadores y otros equipos de importancia en el control de infecciones. c) Se preparo una puta de evaluacion de hospitales con estandares minimos que deben cumplir para el control de infecciones. Recomendaciones: se recomienda mantener el desarrollo del control de las infecciones intrahospitalarias reforzando la investigacion operativa local, la capacitacion del equipo de salud y considerar este problema en las politicas de recursos fisicos y humanos del Sistema Nacional de Servicios de Salud (AU).

Download or read book How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease written by United States. Public Health Service. Office of the Surgeon General and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.
