ABSTRACT
Objetivo relatar a experiência de produção de máscaras cirúrgicas por uma comissão de produção de inovação tecnológica. Método estudo descritivo do tipo relato de experiência. O processo de produção envolveu seis costureiras, uma cortando o tecido-não-tecido hospitalar, uma na máquina Overlock para fazer o acabamento nas laterais e quatro, costurando na máquina Reta. Foi utilizado tecido-não-tecido gramatura de 60, linhas brancas e arame galvanizado encapado. Resultado a produção chegou a 1.300 máscaras cirúrgicas por dia. Todas passaram pelo teste de qualidade em uma central de distribuição antes de serem encaminhadas aos serviços de saúde. O processo foi gerenciado por duas enfermeiras. Conclusão a estratégia relatada representou a produção de 63 mil unidades de máscaras cirúrgicas e foi uma maneira alternativa de suprir a demanda de máscaras cirúrgicas nos serviços de saúde, contribuindo para melhorar a segurança dos profissionais de saúde no âmbito da COVID-19.
Objetivo informar la experiencia de producción de mascarillas quirúrgicas por una comisión de producción de innovación tecnológica. Método estudio descriptivo del tipo informe de experiencia. El proceso de producción implicó seis costureras, una cortando la tela no tejida hospitalaria, una en la máquina Sobrehilada para hacer el acabado en los lados y cuatro cosiendo en la máquina Recta. Se utilizó una tela no tejida de 60 gramos, hilos blancos y un alambre galvanizado camuflado. Resultado la producción alcanzó 1.300 máscaras quirúrgicas por día. El proceso fue gestionado por dos enfermeras. Conclusión la estrategia reportada representó la producción de 63.000 unidades de mascarillas quirúrgicas y fue una forma alternativa de satisfacer la demanda de mascarillas quirúrgicas en los servicios de salud, contribuyendo a mejorar la seguridad de los profesionales de la salud en el contexto da la COVID-19.
Objective to report the experience of production of surgical masks by a committee of technological innovation production. Method descriptive study of the experience-report type. The production process involved six seamstresses, one cutting the hospital nonwoven fabric, one at the Overlock stitch machine to make the finish of sides and four sewing with the Straight stitch machine. A 60-grammage nonwoven fabric, white thread and a cloaked galvanized wire were used. Result production reached 1,300 surgical masks per day. The process was managed by two nurses. Conclusion the strategy reported represented the production of 63,000 units of surgical masks and was an alternative to meet the demand for surgical masks in health services, contributing to improve the safety of health professionals within the scope of COVID-19.

This study was carried out in The Intensive Care Unit [ICU] at Menoufiya University Hospital from January 1997 to April 1998 to study the device-associated infection rate as an extrinsic risk factor for nosocomial infection in ICU and to compare this rate with infection rate based on patient admission and patient days in the unit. All intensive care patients were surveyed daily and all cases were examined clinically and with laboratory investigations including sputum, blood and urine cultures in the clinical pathology laboratory of the unit. Data were recorded on the National Nosocomial Infection Surveillance [NNIS] component form. The results revealed that the patient admission infection rate was 16.5% [140 cases out of 870 patients]. When the patient days were used as denominator, the infection rate was 46.35/1000 patient days. On the other hand, when device days were used as denominator, the device-associated infection rate was 31.63/1000 device days. These rates vary by type of patient in ICU and type of device utilized, the surgical ICU patients [SICU] had significantly higher pneumonia rate compared to medical ICU [MICU] [91.8 versus 54.7/1000 ventilator days, p <0.05]. Also, central intravenous-associated bacteremia rate was significantly higher in SICU compared to MICU [33.64 versus 12.93/1000 intravenous catheter days, p<0.05]. While urinary tract infection rate was significantly higher among patients in MICU compared to surgical one [32.18 versus 19.5/1000 urinary catheter days, p <0.001], which may be attributed to the prophylactic use of antibiotics among surgical patients. As regard sputum, blood, urine cultures. Gram-negative bacteria were found to be the most common organism recovered from ventilator-associated pneumonia, central intravenous catheter-associated bacteremia and catheter-related urinary tract infection [54.5%, 54.2%, 47.9% respectively]. It was found that perfect and effective hand washing significantly reduced catheter-associated intravenous bacteremia from 26.6 to 8.2/1000 catheter days and urinary tract infection rate from 25.3 to 10/1000 catheter days. So, we recommend urgent establishment of nosocomial infection control committee in Menoufiya University Hospital and more emphasis on the effective technique of hand washing as it is proved to be the simplest measure in controlling device-associated nosocomial infection in ICU. In the meantime, sterilization of equipments should be stressed with every step and each manipulation

El estudio plantea que los desastres naturales influyen adversamente en las vidas de un gran número de personas y provocan numerosos daños tanto a las personas como a la propiedad, principalmente en los países en desarrollo, que tiene escasa capacidad para soportar este tipo de catástrofes periódicas. El desarollo económico, por tanto, determina los parámetros de vulnerabilidad a los desastres naturales, por lo que los esfuerzoa para reducir los mismos deben estar enfocados a producir un desarrollo económico sostenible. De allí, que la implementación de una gestión de los desastres deberá garantizar un incremento en la calidad de vida de los sectores vulnerables. Los recursos distribuidos después de la catástrofe deberán satisfacer las necesidades de ese momento, pero, a la vez, deberán establecer parámetros para la preparación y el desarrollo general en situaciones futuras
