ABSTRACT

Na Iniciativa Hospital Amigo da Criança-Neofoi proposto o uso da chupeta na Unidade Neonatal (UN) de modo terapêutico, e sempre com supervisão de um profissional de saúde. Mas observa-se que o aparato conhecido como "Luva Chupeta" fabricado com o uso de uma luva de látex está sendo utilizado como alternativa para acalentar o recém-nascido (RN). Apesar de poucos estudos, é evidente que esse dispositivo deve ser contraindicado na UN, uma vez que pode provocar alergia ao látex, transmitir infecções, provocar acidentes graves como aspiração laringotraqueal do algodão devido ao rompimento da luva de látex, e dependendo do tamanho do material, obstruir as vias aéreas, e levar a óbito. Além do mais, o dispositivo pode interferir negativamente no crescimento e no desenvolvimento craniofacial e causar prejuízos associados à amamentação e na saúde materno infantil. A substituição da "Luva Chupeta" por outras estratégias, até mesmo pela chupeta convencional ou ortodôntica, para lidar com a dor e situações de estresse do RN deve ser decisiva para evitar os riscos de acidentes graves. O Protocolo de uso de bicos, Protocolo de manejo da dor do RN, adoção do Método Canguru na UN para promoção do desenvolvimento e comportamento do RN, e a capacitação/monitoramento das práticas adotas pela Equipe Materno Infantil, quanto ao cuidado ofertado são alternativas mais complexas, mas que devem ser analisadas por aqueles que desejam oferecer confiabilidade aos seus processos institucionais.

In the Baby-Friendly Hospital-Neo Initiative, the use of pacifiers in the Neonatal Unit (UN) was proposed in a therapeutic way, and always under the supervision of a health professional. However, it should be noted that the device known as "Pacifier Glove" manufactured using a latex glove is being used as an alternative to cherish the newborn. Despite few studies, it is clear that this device should be contraindicated in the UN, since it can cause allergy to latex, transmit infections, cause serious accidents such as laryngotracheal aspiration of cotton due to the rupture of the latex glove, and depending on the size of the material, obstruct the airways, and lead to death. Furthermore, the device may interfere with craniofacial growth and development and cause harm associated with breastfeeding and maternal and child health. The substitution of the "Pacifier Glove" for other strategies, even for the conventional or orthodontic pacifier, to deal with the pain and stress situations of the baby should be avoided to avoid the risk of serious accidents.The teat use protocol, the baby's pain management protocol, the adoption of the Kangaroo Method in the neonatal unit to promote the baby's development and behavior, and the training/monitoring of the practices adopted by the Maternal and Child Team, regarding the care offered, are alternatives more complex, but which must be analyzed by those who wish to offer reliability to their institutional processes.

En la Iniciativa Hospital Amigo del Niño-Neo, se propuso terapéuticamente el uso del chupete en la Unidad Neonatal (UN), y siempre bajo la supervisión de un profesional de la salud. Pero se observa que el dispositivo conocido como "chupete Gluva", fabricado con el uso de un guante de látex, está siendo utilizado como una alternativa para cuidar al recién nacido (NB). A pesar de los pocos estudios, es evidente que este dispositivo debe estar contraindicado en la NU, ya que puede causar alergia al látex, transmitir infecciones, ocasionar accidentes graves como aspiración laringotraqueal de algodón por rotura del guante de látex, y dependiendo de la El tamaño del material obstruye las vías respiratorias y provoca la muerte. Además, el dispositivo puede interferir negativamente con el crecimiento y desarrollo craneofacial y causar daños asociados con la lactancia materna y la salud maternoinfantil. La sustitución del "Dummy Glove" por otras estrategias, incluso el chupete convencional u ortodóncico, para hacer frente a las situaciones de dolor y estrés del RN debe ser determinante para evitar el riesgo de accidentes graves. El Protocolo de Uso del Pezón, el Protocolo de Manejo del Dolor del RN, la adopción del Método Canguro en la NU para promover el desarrollo y comportamiento del RN, y la capacitación/seguimiento de las prácticas adoptadas por el Equipo Materno Infantil, en cuanto a los cuidados ofrecidos, son más alternativas eficientes, complejas, pero que deben ser analizadas por quienes deseen brindar confiabilidad a sus procesos institucionales.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Analizar la evidencia más actualizada sobre el cambio rutinario de instrumental y guantes quirúrgicos en cirugía abdominal, y su impacto en el riesgo de infecciones. Métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica, en las bases de datos PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, y MEDLINE. Resultados: A la fecha, la evidencia sumamente escasa sobre el potencial impacto del cambio rutinario de instrumental y guantes quirúrgicos en cirugía abdominal, y su relación con la incidencia de infección en el sitio operatorio. Sin embargo, no deja de ser un tema de interés en cirugía global. El estudio ChEETAh, ensayo realizado en siete países de bajos y medianos ingresos, que evaluó el cambio rutinario tanto de guantes como de instrumental quirúrgico en cirugía abdominal y su relación con la infección, demostró que, la frecuencia de infección en sitio operatorio fue del 16% (n=931) en el grupo intervención, comparado a un 18,9% (n=1280) en el grupo control (RR 0,87; IC 95%: 0,79 ­ 0,95; p=0,0032). Así, podría existir cierta protección adicional con el cambio rutinario de guantes e instrumental en cirugía abdominal. Conclusión: Aunque la evidencia es limitada y heterogénea, existe una tendencia respecto a un potencial beneficio frente a la incidencia de infección en sitio operatorio, en el cambio rutinario de guantes e instrumental quirúrgico en cirugía abdominal(AU)


Objective: To analyze the most recent evidence regarding the routine change of surgical instruments and gloves in abdominal surgery and its impact on the risk of infections. Methods: A literature search was conducted in the PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and MEDLINE databases. Results: To date, the evidence regarding the potential impact of routine changes in surgical instruments and gloves in abdominal surgery and their relationship with the incidence of surgical site infections is extremely scarce. Nevertheless, it remains a topic of interest in global surgery. The ChEETAh study, conducted in seven low and middle-income countries, which assessed the routine change of both gloves and surgical instruments in abdominal surgery and its relation to infection, demonstrated that the frequency of surgical site infection was 16% (n=931) in the intervention group compared to 18.9% (n=1280) in the control group (RR 0.87; 95% CI: 0.79 ­ 0.95; p=0.0032). Thus, there may be some additional protection with the routine change of gloves and instruments in abdominal surgery. Conclusion: Although the evidence is limited and heterogeneous, there is a trend suggesting a potential benefit in reducing the incidence of surgical site infections through the routine change of gloves and surgical instruments in abdominal surgery(AU)

ABSTRACT

Purpose: This report of a case of allergic contact hand dermatitis due to constituents of nitrile gloves is to bring to the attention of practitioners four important practice points: 1) allergic contact dermatitis may occur due to exposure to chemicals in nitrile gloves; 2) skin patch testing is used to identify the causative allergens; 3) targeted allergens may be necessary in addition to the baseline European standard series if the standard series is unhelpful; and 4) there are potential interventions to manage nitrile glove dermatitis. Findings: A laboratory analyst had occupational exposure to several allergens and had worn latex gloves. She was exposed to laboratory chemicals and powdered ore dust, containing precious metals. She developed hand dermatitis and was relocated to administrative duties not requiring glove use. Her dermatitis cleared but recurred when she returned to the laboratory and started using nitrile gloves. On history, nitrile gloves and platinum group metal ore dust were consistently associated with her hand dermatitis, but laboratory chemicals were not. Latex-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) was negative, as were skin patch tests for 13 allergens in the metal series, including salts of platinum group metals. She had positive allergic reactions to cobalt chloride, formaldehyde, nickel sulphate, and quaternium 15 in the European standard series patch tests. She did not react to the rubber chemicals in the European standard series, including thiuram mix. The patient was then tested with the rubber additives series because of the glove-relatedness of her hand dermatitis. She had positive reactions to three thiuram compounds used as accelerators in rubber gloves. The patient went on vacation during which time her dermatitis improved. She was relocated to a position without glove use or ore contact and her dermatitis did not recur. Conclusions: An analytic laboratory worker developed hand allergic contact dermatitis due to nitrile glove constituents. The diagnosis is supported by the improvement in her dermatitis after cessation of glove use, negative metal series patch tests, and positive patch tests to accelerators found in rubber gloves. Nevertheless, a contribution to the dermatitis by metals in the platinum group metal ore dust cannot be excluded. Recommendations: Nitrile glove constituents should be considered in wearers who develop hand dermatitis. Skin patch testing is recommended to investigate putative agents. Specific patch test series for more targeted testing may be required

ABSTRACT

Introducción. En diciembre de 2019 en Wuhan, China, se presentó un brote de neumonía atípica generado por el virus SARS-CoV-2, el cual es un tipo de coronavirus causante de la enfermedad COVID-19, que se convirtió con el tiempo en una pandemia. En este contexto, el uso de los elementos de protección personal tomó un especial interés, en especial para la atención del trabajo de parto vaginal, dada la confusión en los círculos obstétricos respecto a la mejor forma de proteger al personal sanitario en dichos casos. El objetivo de este artículo de revisión es identificar cuáles son los elementos de protección personal indicados en la atención del parto vaginal y su correcto uso en tiempos de COVID-19. División de temas tratados. Se realizó una revisión narrativa de la literatura accediendo a las bases de datos: PubMed, Medline, Elsevier, Google Académico y sitios web como la Organización Mundial de la salud (OMS), Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC, por sus siglas en inglés) y el Colegio Americano de Obstetras y Ginecólogos (ACOG), entre otros. Se usaron palabras claves como "Infecciones por Coronavirus", "Parto Normal", "Protección Personal", "Personal de Salud", "Dispositivos de Protección Respiratoria" y "Dispositivos de Protección de los Ojos". La literatura permitió identificar aspectos introductorios al tema, epidemiología, características generales de los elementos de protección personal, y los elementos específicos para el uso correcto en la atención del parto vaginal. Conclusiones. El trabajo de parto es considerado como un procedimiento generador de aerosoles, por lo que se recomienda principalmente el uso de tapabocas N95 o un respirador que ofrezca mayor protección para personal de salud en la atención del parto vaginal, con el fin de evitar la infección por SARS-CoV-2; sin embargo, se debe insistir en el uso adecuado y completo de los elementos de protección personal como lo son la bata quirúrgica, el gorro, el protector ocular y guantes, independientemente de la sintomatología de la paciente.


Introduction. In December 2019, in Wuhan, China, there was an outbreak of atypical pneumonia caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which is a type of coronavirus causative of COVID-19, which overtime became a pandemic. In this context, the use of personal protective equipment is of special interest, especially when providing care in vaginal delivery, due to the confusion in obstetric circles regarding the best way to protect healthcare personnel in these cases. The objective of this review article is to identify which are the personal protective elements indicated for providing care in vaginal birth and their correct use during COVID-19. Division of Covered Topics. A narrative review of the literature was carried out, accessing the following databases: PubMed, Medline, Elsevier, Google Scholar, and websites such as the World Health Organization (WHO), Center for the Control and Prevention of Diseases (CDC), and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, among others. Keywords such as "Coronavirus Infections", "Normal Birth," Personal Protective Elements," "Healthcare Personnel", "Respiratory Protective Devices", and "Eye Protection Devices" were used. The literature allowed us to identify introductory aspects on the matter, epidemiology, general characteristics of personal protective elements, and the specific elements for correct use when providing care in vaginal birth. Conclusions. Labor is considered an aerosol-generating procedure. Therefore, the main recommendation is the use of an N95 mask or a respirator which allows for greater protection for healthcare personnel when assisting vaginal birth, in order to avoid infection due to SARS-CoV-2. However, there must be an adequate and complete use of personal protective equipment, such as surgical gowns, hats, eye protection and gloves, regardless of the patient's symptomatology

ABSTRACT

Patients with leprosy (Hansen's disease) may have peripheral neuropathy leading to loss of thermal and tactile sensitivity which may further lead to disabilities and deformities. Those patients with nerve function impairment in their hands while tending to everyday activities such as holding utensils, consuming hot beverages, and handling sharp objects during household chores are prone to develop trauma on their hands leading to ulceration. For prevention of heat induced and other mechanical trauma, we propose innovative solutions such as using thermochromic painted utensils, corrugated paper cups, and cut-resistant gloves to overcome these hindrances. These will avoid the chances of developing non-healing ulcerations and thereby improve the quality of life of the patient

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Comparar os índices de perfuração de luvas cirúrgicas utilizadas em cirurgias gerais e na limpeza manual de produtos para a saúde. Método: Estudo desenvolvido num hospital de ensino de grande porte em Goiânia, Goiás. Foram comparados os índices de perfuração de luvas cirúrgicas obtidos por meio de teste de vazamento em dois grupos de luvas: (I) as utilizadas durante a limpeza manual de produtos para a saúde e (II) as utilizadas em cirurgias gerais. Resultados: A frequência de perfuração foi superior nas luvas utilizadas para a limpeza de produtos para saúde (46,1%) do que naquelas empregadas em cirurgias gerais (12,5%) (p = 0,047), e o tempo de uso interferiu no aumento do risco de perfuração em ambos os grupos. Não houve diferença nas perfurações das mãos direita e esquerda nem no uso de luvas simples e sobrepostas. Conclusão: O índice de perfuração de luvas cirúrgicas durante a limpeza manual revela maior risco ao trabalhador que realiza essa atividade e reforça a contraindicação desse tipo de luva para tal finalidade.


Objective: To compare the surgical glove perforation rates in general surgeries and in the manual cleaning of medical devices. Method: This study was developed in a large teaching hospital in Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil. We compared the surgical glove perforation rates obtained from the leak test performed in two groups of gloves: (I) those used during manual cleaning of medical devices and (ii) those used in general surgeries. Results: The frequency of perforation was higher in the gloves used for cleaning medical devices (46.1%) than in those used for general surgeries (12.5%) (p=0.047), and the duration of use was associated with increased risk of perforation in both groups. No difference was found regarding perforations in the right and left hands or in the use of single or double gloving. Conclusion: The surgical glove perforation rate during manual cleaning reveals a higher risk to the worker who performs this activity and reinforces the contraindication of this type of glove for this purpose.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction The possibility of perforation of gloves during orthopedic surgeries can reach 56.8%, and it mainly related to the manipulation of blunt instruments. Surgeries for the treatment of fractures and trauma present additional risk due to contact with bone spires. Objective Analysis of the prevalence of loss of integrity of surgical gloves in orthopedic trauma procedures, especially fractures, and evaluation of the surgeon's exposure and contact with secretions from the patient. Methods Macroscopic inspection of the gloves of two surgeons specialized in trauma, over a period of 4 months. Both used two gloves for all procedures and, at the end of the surgery, analyzed the presence or absence of blood stains on the internal gloves and/or fingers. The procedures were categorized according to the time and type of surgery. The intercurrence investigated was the perforation of one or two gloves; if the tear was perceived immediately or only at the end of the surgery, and the location of and reason for the tear, if identified. Results A total of 210 surgeries were included, 87 of which presented perforations, with 17 cases occurring in both gloves and 70 only in the outer glove. Finally, there was a more significant relationship with open focus surgeries and duration > 60 minutes. Conclusion Our results suggest that greater care and inspection of gloves to look for damage are needed in prolonged surgeries with an open focus.


Resumo Introdução Cirurgias ortopédicas apresentam a possibilidade de perfuração das luvas, que pode chegar a 56,8%, relacionada principalmente à manipulação de instrumentos cortantes. O tratamento de fraturas e cirurgias de trauma apresenta risco adicional pelo contato com espiculas ósseas. Objetivo Análise da prevalência de perda de integridade das luvas cirÚrgicas em procedimentos ortopédicos de trauma, principalmente fraturas, avaliando a exposição do cirurgião e o contato com secreções provenientes do paciente. Métodos Inspeção macroscópica das luvas de dois cirurgiões especializados em trauma, durante um período de 4 meses. Ambos usaram duas luvas para todos os procedimentos e, ao término da cirurgia, analisaram a presença ou ausência de manchas de sangue nas luvas internas e/ou nos dedos. Os procedimentos foram categorizados quanto ao tempo e tipo de cirurgia. A intercorrência investigada foi a perfuração de uma ou duas luvas; se a perfuração foi percebida imediatamente ou apenas ao final da cirurgia, e qual o local e o motivo do rasgo, se identificado. Resultados Foram incluídas 210 cirurgias, das quais 87 apresentaram perfurações, sendo 17 casos em ambas as luvas e 70 apenas na luva externa. Um total de 27,5% dos danos foram descobertos apenas no final da cirurgia; os rasgos se concentraram no indicador esquerdo em 62,5% dos casos. Por Último, houve uma relação mais significativa com cirurgias de foco aberto e com duração superior a 60 minutos. Conclusão O nosso resultado sugere que em cirurgias prolongadas e com foco aberto, é necessário maior cuidado e inspeção à procura de danos nas luvas.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction Personal protective equipment is mandatory to protect patients and professionals from diseases, especially in the dental environment. The risk of gloves micro-perforations is imminent when using sharp instruments or cleaning them up during lengthy clinical procedures. Objective This study evaluated the integrity of sterile and non-sterile gloves before clinical use and clarified whether friction with disinfectant solution modifies surface morphology and integrity. Material and method Samples of gloves from four different brands were divided into two groups: (1) Sterile surgical gloves (n=260) and (2) Non-sterile gloves (n=260). They were scissored and placed in Ostby's arch so that three solutions - distilled water, ethanol 70°, ethanol 96° - were rubbed with a cotton swab. After 30s, 5, 10, and 15 minutes of solution rubbing, samples were verified by a Scanning Electron Microscope. The pore sizes were measured by Image J software. Result Regardless of the brands, all gloves have been significantly affected by solutions and assessment periods. In general, remarkable changes were evident with ethanol 70° and 96°, and higher pore diameters were observed compared to distilled water. Conclusion Rubbing disinfectant solutions increases gloves' pores sizes, and time negatively influenced its quality.


Resumo Introdução Para proteger pacientes e profissionais de doenças, o uso de equipamentos de proteção individual é obrigatório, principalmente no ambiente odontológico. O risco de microperfurações das luvas é iminente ao usar instrumentos cortantes ou na tentativa de limpar as luvas durante longos procedimentos clínicos. Objetivo Este estudo avaliou a integridade das luvas cirúrgicas e de procedimento antes do uso clínico e esclareceu se o atrito com a solução desinfetante modifica a morfologia e integridade da superfície. Material e método Amostras de luvas de quatro marcas diferentes foram divididas em dois grupos: (1) Luvas cirúrgicas (n = 260) e (2) Luvas descartáveis não estéreis (n = 260). As luvas foram cortadas e colocadas em arco de Ostby, de modo que três soluções - água destilada, etanol 70 °, etanol 96 ° foram esfregadas com um cotonete. Após 30s, 5, 10 e 15 minutos de fricção das soluções, as amostras foram verificadas utilizando um microscópio eletrônico de varredura. Os tamanhos dos poros foram medidos pelo software Image J. Resultado Independentemente das marcas, todas as luvas foram significativamente afetadas por soluções e períodos de avaliação. Em geral, maiores alterações foram evidenciadas com o uso do etanol 70° e 96°, e maiores diâmetros dos poros foram observados quando comparados à água destilada. Conclusão Esfregar soluções desinfetantes aumenta o tamanho dos poros das luvas e o tempo influenciou negativamente sua qualidade.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the influence of the manual manipulation of two composite resins: Filtek™ Z350XT (3M ESPE) and Herculite Précis® (Kerr), with latex gloves contaminated with powder, human saliva and alcohol, on the microhardness values. Material and Methods: Manual manipulation was evaluated using latex gloves with powder, latex gloves without powder, latex gloves without powder with saliva, latex gloves without powder with alcohol, and without hand manipulation or contaminants (control). Each resin was manually manipulated for 10 seconds and photoactivated for 20 seconds with a light intensity of 1000mW/cm2 using a VALO ­Ultradent LED light­ cured unit, and then each sample was evaluated on the microhardness Vickers tester Leitz (Wetzlar). The collected data were analyzed using Kruskal ­Wallis and Mann ­ Whitney post-test (p<0.05). Results. Microhardness values showed a significant difference between the evaluated and control groups, showing lower microhardness values in the group of latex glove with powder for Filtek™ Z350XT and the group of latex glove without powder with saliva for Herculite Précis®. Conclusion. The manual manipulation of composite resins decreases their surface microhardness.

ABSTRACT

As luvas são fundamentais para a proteção dos profissionais e pacientes contra a contaminação cruzada, especialmente no controle do risco de contato direto com fluidos corporais. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi realizar um experimento in vitro acerca das propriedades físicas das luvas de procedimento de látex, comercializadas nacionalmente, visando produzir evidências científicas para o uso seguro em situações de assistência à saúde. Três lotes diferentes de cada uma das cinco marcas de luvas de procedimento de látex foram avaliados antes do uso quanto à integridade física (presença ou não de rasgos e/ou furos). Os protocolos padrão da Society for Testing and Materials e da Food and Drug Administration American consistiram em preencher cada uma das luvas com 1.000mL de água e inspecionar danos imediatamente e após dois minutos. Ainda, quantificar e comparar a perfusão de corante através das diferentes marcas de luvas por meio de um protocolo original desenvolvido com vistas a simular a punctura acidental por agulha. Inicialmente, uma punção venosa foi simulada em um recipiente contendo cristal violeta (CV) a 1% coberto com uma placa de gelatina a 8%, que simulou a pele humana. Uma microplaca de poliestireno 96 poços foi coberta com uma luva e depois perfurada com uma agulha com calibre de 0,80x30mm acoplada à uma seringa de 20mL contendo 5mL de CV a 1%. Os resultados foram expressos em frequências absolutas e relativas. Além disso, dados obtidos da perfusão do corante através das diferentes marcas de luvas foram submetidos aos testes de normalidade (Kolmogorov-Smirnov e Shapiro-Wilk) e, posteriormente, ao teste de U de Mann-Whitney por meio do software IBM SPSS Statistics (versão 25) e nível de significância ?=5%. As luvas das marcas D (1%) e C (9,2 e 9,4%) apresentaram o melhor e o pior dos resultados de rasgos e/ou furos nas inspeções imediata e após dois minutos, respectivamente. Um total de 7% (n=21) dos rasgos e/ou furos da marca C ocorreram em um dedo/região das luvas, enquanto que 1,3% (n=4) estavam danificadas/rasgadas. A marca D permaneceu com o melhor resultado, pois apresentou somente 1% (n=3) de rasgos e/ou furos em um dedo/região. Os valores medianos das absorbâncias de todas as marcas de luva de procedimento de látex perfuradas foram inferiores ao valor mediano da absorbância da perfuração sem luva, confirmando uma retenção do cristal violeta através de todas as marcas de luva avaliadas (p<0,001). As luvas da marca E apresentaram a maior porcentagem de retenção do cristal violeta dentre todas as marcas (77,2%), seguida das luvas da marca B (65,6%). Em contrapartida, as luvas da marca D sinalizaram a menor porcentagem de retenção do cristal violeta (14,6%). Em conclusão, todas as marcas de luvas de procedimento de látex avaliadas apresentaram danos físicos com maior frequência na região entre os dedos. Ainda, em condições in vitro, as luvas de procedimento de látex mesmo depois de perfuradas barraram parcialmente a carga do material inoculado


Gloves are fundamental for professionals' and patients' protection against crosscontamination, especially in control of risk of contact with corporal fluids. The objective of this study was to perform an in vitro experiment about physical properties of latex procedure gloves, marketed nationally, aiming to produce scientific evidences for the safe use in health care situations. Three different batches of each one of five brands of latex procedure gloves were evaluated before and after the use regarding physical integrity (presence or absence of tears and/or holes). The standard protocols of Society for Testing and Materials and of Food and Drug Administration American consisted in fill each one of the gloves with 1,000mL of water and inspect damages immediately and after two minutes. Also, to quantify and compare dye infusion through different glove brands via an original protocol developed to simulate the accidental puncture by needle. Initially, a venipuncture was simulated in a receptacle containing crystal violet (CV) at 1% covered with a gel plate at 8%, that simulated the human skin. A 96-well polystyrene microplate was covered with a glove and then pierced by a needle with 0.80x30mm caliber coupled to a 20mL syringe containing 5mL of CV at 1%. The results were expressed in absolute and relative frequencies. Moreover, the data obtained from the dye infusion through different glove brands were submitted to normality tests (Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk) and, later, to Mann-Whitney U test through IBM SPSS Statistics (version 25) software and ?=5% significance level. The gloves of brands D (1%) and C (9.2 and 9.4%) presented the best and the worst of the tears and/or holes results in the immediate and after two minutes inspections, respectively. A total of 7% (n=21) of tears and/or holes of brand C happened in one glove finger/region, while 1.3% (n=4) were damaged/torn. The brand D remained with the best result because presented only 1% (n=3) of tears and/or holes in one finger/region. The median values of absorbances of all brands of perforated latex procedure gloves were lower than the median value of absorbance of gloveless perforation, confirming a retention of crystal violet through all evaluated glove brands (p<0.001). The gloves of brand E presented the highest percentage of retention of crystal violet within all brands (77.2%), followed by gloves of brand B (65.6%). Conversely, the gloves of brand D indicated the lowest percentage of retention of crystal violet (14.6%). In conclusion, all brands of evaluated latex procedure gloves presented physical damages with higher frequency in the region between the fingers. Also, in in vitro conditions, the latex procedure gloves even after perforated partially blocked the load of inoculated material

MÉTODOS: Se realizó un diseño experimental a trabajadores del sector de hidrocarburos, con el objetivo de identificar la transmisibilidad global de los guantes en diferentes actividades. Las mediciones se realizaron a través de dos acelerómetros: uno instalado en la máquina y otro en la palma de la mano. La transmisibilidad fue calculada en el rango de frecuencias 0-2 kHz, para cinco tipos de herramientas y 3 tipos de guantes. Finalmente, se compararon los tiempos de exposición a los que puede estar expuesto el trabajador con el uso de los guantes. RESULTADOS: Se identificó la efectividad de los guantes para proteger a los operarios, permitiéndoles trabajar un mayor número de horas por día. El análisis estadístico evidencia que la variable tipo de herramienta tiene un efecto significativo sobre la transmisibilidad, mientras que el tipo de guante no presenta efecto estadístico alguno. El estudio presenta los porcentajes de aumento de tiempos de exposición y el estudio de las transmisibilidades. CONCLUSIONES: Los tres tipos de guantes evaluados mostraron tener un desempeño eficaz como atenuadores de la vibración. El aumento del tiempo de exposición permitido al usar guantes es muy significativo para todas las herramientas.


OBJECTIVE: Determine the impact caused by the type of tool and type of glove on the transmissibility of the hand-arm vibration. METHODS: An experimental design was carried out for workers in the hydrocarbon sector, in order to identify the global transmissibility of gloves in different activities. The measurements were made through two accelerometers: one installed in the machine and the other in the palm of the hand. The transmissibility was calculated in the fre quency range 0-2 kHz, for five types of tools and 3 types of gloves. Finally, the exposure times to which the worker may be exposed with the use of gloves were compared. RESULTS: The effectiveness of the gloves was identified to protect the workers, allowing them to work a greater number of hours per day. The statistical analysis shows that the variable type of tool has a significant effect on transmissibility, while the type of glove does not have any statistical effect. The study presents the percentages of increase in exposure times and the study of transmissibilities. CONCLUSIONS: The three types of gloves evaluated showed an effec tive performance as vibration attenuators.

ABSTRACT

Objective To develop a data glove evaluation system to assist rehabilitation physicians and therapists in assessing the degree of rehabilitation of hand-wounded patients. Methods A data glove containing 136-axis inertial sensors was designed and produced. It was tested on 10 healthy subjects and 3 hand trauma pa-tients admitted to the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at Run Run Shaw Hospital. The glove transmitted ac-celeration and angular velocity components in the X, Y and Z directions to a computer terminal, allowing the ben-ding angles of the subject′s finger joints to be calculated. Traditional protractor measurements were used to verify to what extent the data glove accurately reflected the hand and joint activity. Results Compared with the traditional protractor measurement method, the data glove quickly gave accurate maximum bending angles both in healthy and hand-wounded subjects . Such data can facilitate the rehabilitation of hand injuries. Conclusions The data glove produced in this study can effectively assist rehabilitation doctors and therapists in assessing the recovery of hand-injured patients.

Objetivos: testar a associação entre a ocorrência de perfuração de luvas cirúrgicas e o número de cirurgiões em campo, o tempo de duração da cirurgia, o tipo de cirurgia, o tipo de abordagem cirúrgica e a especialidade cirúrgica. Materiais e Métodos: trata-se de um estudo de corte transversal realizado num hospital especializado em oncologia do interior paulista. A população do estudo foi composta por 3.966 luvas utilizadas em 359 cirurgias realizadas no referido hospital, no período de 01 de janeiro a 28 de fevereiro de 2018. A avaliação da integridade das luvas cirúrgicas foi realizada por meio de análise visual e da insuflação de líquido, conforme a norma EN 455-1. Os dados foram analisados por meio de estatística descritiva e pela técnica de regressão logística multivariada, utilizando-se o programa estatístico IBM SPSS Statistics versão 21. Resultados: Das 359 cirurgias analisadas, 145 (40,4%) cirurgias apresentaram luvas perfuradas. Das 3.966 luvas coletadas, 254 (6,4%) apresentaram perfuração. Do total de perfurações identificadas, 163 (64,2%) ocorreram na mão esquerda, atingiram o dedo indicador 94 (37,0%). As varáveis associadas à perfuração de luvas identificadas no modelo final foram cirurgias com tempo de duração acima de 120 minutos (OR: 3,06; IC 95%: 1,52 - 6,14) e cirurgias realizadas pelas especialidades da Ortopedia (OR: 4,40; IC95%: 2,36 - 8,20), do Tórax (OR: 3,28; IC95%: 1,75 - 6,17), da Urologia (OR: 2,97; IC95%: 1,53 - 5,76) e do Digestivo Baixo (OR: 2,35; IC95%: 1,22 - 4,54). Ressalta-se que as cirurgias realizadas por vídeo se constituíram num fator de proteção (OR: 0,35; IC95%: 0,22 - 0,56). Conclusão: o presente estudo confirmou a associação entre a perfuração de luvas e tempo de duração da cirurgia acima de 120 minutos e especialidades cirúrgica, além disso, as cirurgias realizadas por vídeo se constituíram como um fator de proteção. Acredita-se que os resultados obtidos poderão subsidiar a proposição de medidas de prevenção e consequentemente contribuir para a segurança dos pacientes e dos profissionais da área da saúde


Introduction: the use of sterile surgical gloves is a fundamental strategy for the prevention of infection of the surgical site and for the protection of the surgical team. However, perforated gloves are common during surgical procedures which, for the most part, are not perceived by professionals. Objective: to test the association between the occurrence of surgical glove perforation and the number of surgeons in the surgery, the duration of the surgery, the type of surgery, the type of surgical approach and the surgical specialty. Materials and Methods: this is a crosssectional study conducted at a specialized hospital in oncology in the state of São Paulo. The study population consisted of 3.966 gloves used in 359 surgeries performed at the referred hospital, from January 1 to February 28, 2018. The evaluation of surgical glove integrity was performed through visual analysis and fluid insufflation, in accordance with EN 455-1. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the multivariate logistic regression technique using the IBM SPSS Statistics version 21 statistical program. Results: of the 359 surgeries analyzed, 145 (40,4%) surgeries had perforated gloves. Of the 3.966 gloves collected, 254 (6,4%) presented perforation. Of the total number of perforations identified, 163 (64,2%) occurred in the left hand, reaching the index finger 94 (37,0%). The variables associated with the perforation of gloves identified in the final model were surgeries with duration time over 120 minutes (OR: 3,06; 95% CI: 1,52 - 6,14) and surgeries performed by Orthopedics specialties (OR: 4,40; 95% CI: 2,36 - 8,20), Thorax (OR: 3.28; 95% CI:1.75 - 6.17), Urology (OR: 2,97; 95% CI: 1,53 - 5,76) and the Low Digestive (OR: 2.35; 95% CI: 1,22 - 4,54). It should be emphasized that the surgeries performed by video were constituted as a protection factor (OR: 0,35; 95% CI: 0,22 - 0,56). Conclusion: the present study confirmed the association between the perforation of gloves and the duration of surgery over 120 minutes and surgical specialties, besides that the surgeries performed by video were constituted as a protection factor. It is believed that the results obtained may support the proposal of preventive measures and consequently contribute to the safety of patients and health professionals

ABSTRACT

Introducción: existen en la literatura estudios relacionados con la disminución de fuerza por el uso de guantes en actividades de riesgo, como aviación o mantenimiento eléctrico. Sin embargo, no ha sido estudiado este factor en tareas de aseo y cafetería, donde el uso de guantes es necesario. Se pretende entonces responder a la pregunta, si existe efecto en la fuerza de agarre por el uso de guantes y postura en esta población que se caracteriza por su vulnerabilidad e incidencia en lesiones musculo esqueléticas. Materiales y métodos: diseño experimental 2 x 3 con dos variables independientes: la postura en tres niveles diferentes (postura neutral, codo inclinado 90° y antebrazo extendido) y el uso o no de guantes, así la variable dependiente es la fuerza de agarre. El experimento se desarrolló con 11 mujeres pertenecientes al área de aseo y cafetería de una empresa de servicios. Resultados: el factor guante ejerce un efecto significativo sobre la fuerza de agarre con un nivel de significancia de 0,000. La disminución de fuerza de agarre oscila entre 18% y 54%, según la postura de medición de la fuerza. Discusión. la relación de la fuerza desarrollada con la naturaleza de la tarea y el uso de guantes genera recomendaciones para futuras investigaciones, como materiales, detalles en la fuerza y diseño de artefactos entre otros.


Introduction: The literature reports studies related to grip strength decrease due to gloves in risk activities such as aviation or electricity maintenance. However, this factor has not been studied in cleaning tasks where the use of gloves is needed. Therefore, the need arises for measuring the strength which may be lost by the use of gloves and its implications in the performance of duties in different positions, in a population characterized by their vulnerability and muskulosqueletal injuries. Materials and methods: A 2x3 experimental design was made with two independent variables: the position into three different levels (neutral position, leaning on elbow and keeping forearm extended) and the use / not use of gloves so that the dependent variable was the grip strength. The experiment was made among 11 women who belonged to the cleaning and cafeteria area in a services company. Results: The glove factor exerts meaningful effect over grip strength with a significance level of 0.000. In addition, the decrease of the grip strength fluctuates from 18% to 54% according to the position of the measuring. Discussion: the relation between the strength developed the nature of the task and the use of gloves produces suggestions to future researches such as, materials, strength detail measuring, and design of tools between others.
