ABSTRACT
Este artículo, revis el uso de desinfectantes para la desinfcción de suelos y otras superficies de amterial no crítico en el hospital. Basados en la bilbografia, hemos evaluado la necesidad de la desinfección de las superficies ambientales hospitalaias. De acuerdo con los conocimientos científicos actuaes y teniendo en cuenta la compleja naturaleza de los factores de riesgo de la infección nosocomial, los smilares porcntajes de nfección cuando se realiza limpieza o desinfección del suelo y la peligrosidad de los desnfectantes para el personal sanitario, concluimos que la desinfeccin es razonable para desinfectar el suelo y conveniente para otras superficies ambientaes (mesitas de noche, cuñas, aparatos de tensión ) (AU)

It has been suggested that the risk of hospital infection differs according to the moment of hospital stay. Through a retrospective cohort of 843 surgery patients the effect of several factors on nosocomial infection risk is studied as a function of the duration of the hospital stay. It was observed that the studied variables (operation, type of surgery, age and severity of underlying disease) had a predisposing effect on the appearance of infection in short stays (less than 14 days), being the effect greater in longer stays. It is concluded that hospital stay can act as a modifier of the effect of several factors on the risk of hospital infection.
