Factores de riesgos y medidas de bioseguridad en las áreas de coprología, orina y hematología para un laboratorio clínico

Abstract

Biosafety understand a set of measures applicable in a given job in order to protect health professionals, from a laboratory, of exposure to biological risk factors that can trigger an accident or occupational disease. In the areas of the hematology, coprology and uroanalysis laboratory there are also other risk factors, physical, chemical, mechanical, ergonomic and psychosocial that must be identified by the professionals who work in each area, having identified the type of laboratory and the levels of risks or biosafety levels. The main biosecurity measures that must exist in a laboratory correspond to the practices and techniques, to protective equipment (primary barriers) and to the design and construction of facilities (secondary barriers), contributing significantly to reduce risks during processes inside a laboratory. A descriptive study method was applied based on a proposed case. The objective of the work is to determine the risk factors and biosafety measures in a clinical laboratory by developing a manual to prevent accidents in the human talent that works in the areas of coprology, urine and hematology of a clinical laboratory. The final proposal consists in the elaboration of a biosafety manual, as well as the identification of risk factors and the levels of risks present in the areas proposed to carry out the activities and processes in each job in a safe way.
