ABSTRACT

Introducción: El Síndrome de Disfunción Reactiva de las Vías Respiratorias (RADS) se produce como el resultado de la inhalación de productos irritantes a altas concentraciones, habitualmente en el trabajo. El ácido peracético tiene excelentes propiedades antimicrobianas y se utiliza para la desinfección de Broncoscopios. Caso Clínico: Dos trabajadores de la unidad de broncoscopia presentaron exposición accidental a ácido peracético con instauración posterior de sintomatología respiratoria. Discusión: Debido al antecedente de exposición al ácido peracético y a la clínica respiratoria que aparece pocas horas después, se orienta el diagnóstico hacia RADS. Los trabajadores fueron dados de alta médica y valorados por el Servicio de Prevención de Riesgos Laborales emitiendo un Apto con Limitaciones en ambos casos e instaurándose medidas preventivas. Conclusiones: La exposición a dosis altas de ácido peracético y la clí- nica respiratoria posterior cumplen en gran parte con los criterios diagnósticos para ser considerados como RADS en el ámbito laboral (AU)


Introducción: The Reactive Airways Dysfunction Syndrome (RADS) is the result of the inhalation of irritating products in great concentrations, usually at work. Peracetic acid has excellent anti-microbial properties and it is used for bronchoscopes disinfection. Clinical Case: Two workers of the bronchoscopic unit showed accidental exposure to peracetic acid with posterior appearance of respiratory difficulties. Discussion: Due to the antecedent of peracetic acid exposure and the respiratory clinical condition which showed up hours later, the diagnosis is oriented towards RADS. The workers were released from the hospital and assessed by the Department of Prevention, who emitted a suitable with limitations certificate in both cases and established preventive measures. Conclusions: The exposure to peracetic acid and the respiratory clinical condition that derived from said exposure greatly fulfil with the diagnostic criteria to be considered RADS in the work environment (AU)
