Proposta de um sistema de gestão de resíduos hospitalares para o Centro de Saúde de Xipamanine

Abstract

Hospital waste is a serious problem for health care administrators. hospitals, because the incorrect disposal of these, often causes irreversible impacts to public health and the environment. This report has the general objective of proposing a hospital/biomedical waste management system for the Health Center of Xipamanine, in order to minimize or eliminate the risks inherent to the health of employees, patients and the surrounding community. This report was made based on data primary and secondary, which were collected through interviews with health professionals. health as well as the surrounding community, and finally analysis and treatment of the data collected at this health center. During the observations and data analysis, it was observed it is clear that the CSX generates hazardous and non-hazardous waste, such that when these wastes are poorly managed can have negative impacts and cause diseases such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, hepatitis, and other diseases. The average daily total production of waste hospital/biomedical care in the CSX generates about 33.42 kg/day, this amount is composed of 73% common waste, 18% Infectious/anatomical waste, 9% sharp waste and/or piercing. Ordinary or urban waste produces around 24.41Kg/day, consisting of 33% cardboard, 29% paper, 18% organic matter, 11% plastic and 9% metal. After its corresponding precapita production the average daily total production is 0.0480 Kg/(Hab.day). According to these data surveyed in this health center, It was concluded that there is an imminent danger in this health center health under study, due to poor management in segregation, internal transport, storage temporary, treatment and final disposal of waste and, consequently, increasing thus the volume of waste from production to final disposal. Someway categorical to minimize the daily amount produced, some of these wastes may be valued and others sent to recycling companies such as AMOR and FAPACAR etc. this time, if the hospital/biomedical waste management plan proposed in this report, is implemented can contribute to a continuous improvement of the biomedical waste management system at the xipamanine health center.
