Importancia de la implementación y control de la bioseguridad en hospitales y clínicas de atención veterinaria

Abstract

The profession as a veterinary doctor, represents one of the many professions exposed to deterioration or failure in human health, due to inconveniences during the handling of infected animals, as well as diseases transmitted by them, zoonotic diseases being the cause of these havoc, thus facing the professional day by day in their daily work. This is how biosafety plays a very important role both in care in clinics and in animal care hospitals, thus applying rigorous rules, preventing the spread of common diseases in our environment (Parvovirus, feline leukemia, Brucellosis, Leptospirosis, canine distemper, etc.) to healthy patients or those with other pathologies that make them vulnerable to transmission or contagion. Among the preventive measures we have constant hand washing for each patient to be handled and the different materials used in them, the use of chlorinated solutions for the disinfection of used areas and the disposal of supplies or materials used in infectious-contagious animals. or suspected. The uses of defense or protection barriers (biological cabinets, personal clothing, special facilities that prevent aerosol leaks...) depend a lot on the procedure to be used and the patient. Although most professionals follow these prevention steps, not all of them have exact biosafety regulations that are strictly followed.
