Objective: Identify the prevalence of occupational accidents among nursing professionals working in critical units of an emergency service and understand the professional experience among the injured professionals. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 75 professionals, in two consecutive stages. A quantitative analysis was performed by descriptive statistics, and the participants' statements were processed in the IRaMuTeQ software, and analyzed according to the hierarchical descending classification. The findings were based on the collective subject discourse method. Results: The overall prevalence of accidents was 26.7%. Of these, 72.2% involved sharp materials and blood was the main biological agent involved in 84.2% of the accidents. Three classes were defined: "Experiencing an occupational accident"; "Post-exposure conduct" and "Occupational accident prevention". Conclusion: A high rate of injured professionals was observed, with a higher prevalence among those at a technical level. The experience of suffering an accident seems to be closely related to moments (before, after and during), causes, consequences and feelings.Keywords: Occupational risks; Occupational health; Accident prevention; Nursing. resumen Objetivo: Identificar la prevalencia de accidentes de trabajo entre los profesionales de enfermería activos en sectores críticos de una emergencia y comprender la experiencia profesional entre los heridos. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo transversal, realizado en dos etapas consecutivas, con 75 profesionales. El análisis cuantitativo se realizó mediante estadística descriptiva, mientras que los informes fueron procesados en el software IRaMuTeQ, analizados de acuerdo a la Clasificación Jerárquica Descendente.Los hallazgos se basan en el método del Discurso del Sujeto Colectivo. Resultados: La prevalencia global de accidentes fue de 26,7%. De estos 72,2% fueron causados por objetos punzantes y en 84,2% la sangre era el principal agente biológica implicado.Tres clases fueron encontradas: "Experimentar Accidente de Trabajo"; "Post-Exposición Tuberías" y "Prevención de Accidentes de Trabajo". Conclusión: Se grabó alta tasa de accidentes que se encuentran con mayor prevalencia entre las personas de nivel técnico. La experiencia del accidente parece estar vinculada a momentos (antes, durante y después) por imagen, las causas, las consecuencias y los sentimientos. Palabras clave:
Objetivo: identificar o perfil epidemiológico das vítimas de trauma atendidas na sala vermelha do Pronto-Socorro gerenciada pelo SAMU-DF no Hospital de Base do Distrito Federal. Método: trata-se de um estudo descritivo. Os dados foram obtidos dos prontuários eletrônicos e ficha de atendimento pré-hospitalar após aprovação do Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa. Resultados: houve predomínio do sexo masculino (77,9%), na faixa etária de 20 a 49 anos (66,3%), com maior número de ocorrências nos meses de Fevereiro (20,4%), Abril (20,4%) e Maio (21,2%), quinta-feira (18,6%), vespertino (35,4%), em via pública urbana (46,1%). Predominou o politrauma fechado (52,2%) envolvendo acidentes automobilísticos (66,4%). Conclusão: as vítimas são adultos jovens do sexo masculino, politraumatizado por acidente automobilístico atendidas por unidades de suporte básico e avançado de vida e a maioria sobreviveram.
RESUMOIntrodução: a simulação é importante para situações que exijam habilidades psicomotoras ou decisões rápidas, como as de urgência e emergência. Objetivo: avaliar o uso da simulação clínica em Pediatria como estratégia para o aprendizado de alunos do curso de Enfermagem da Faculdade de Ceilândia. Método: estudo transversal de natureza descritivo, com 47 alunos do curso de enfermagem da Faculdade de Ceilândia. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados foram questionários relacionados às Diretrizes da American Heart Association (AHA) e à influência da simulação clínica no aprendizado do aluno. Resultados: os alunos possuem conhecimento relevante das diretrizes e afirmaram que a simulação foi produtiva, que deve ser inserida no cronograma do curso e realizada com outros temas. Conclusão: a pesquisa evidenciou o conhecimento acentuado dos graduandos em Enfermagem da UnB/Ceilândia das Diretrizes de RCP da AHA e concluiu que a prática da simulação clínica foi benéfica para o processo de ensino e aprendizagem.

Although different strategies to control biofilm formation on endotracheal tubes have been proposed, there are scarce scientific data on applying phages for both removing and preventing Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms on the device surface. Here, the anti-biofilm capacity of five bacteriophages was evaluated by a high content screening assay. We observed that biofilms were significantly reduced after phage treatment, especially in multidrug-resistant strains. Considering the anti-biofilm screens, two phages were selected as cocktail components, and the cocktail’s ability to prevent colonization of the endotracheal tube surface was tested in a dynamic biofilm model. Phage-coated tubes were challenged with different P. aeruginosa strains. The biofilm growth was monitored from 24 to 168 h by colony forming unit counting, metabolic activity assessment, and biofilm morphology observation. The phage cocktail promoted differences of bacterial colonization; nonetheless, the action was strain dependent. Phage cocktail coating did not promote substantial changes in metabolic activity. Scanning electron microscopy revealed a higher concentration of biofilm cells in control, while tower-like structures could be observed on phage cocktail-coated tubes. These results demonstrate that with the development of new coating strategies, phage therapy has potential in controlling the endotracheal tube-associated biofilm.
