“…[25][26] Our results for the respiratory circuit canister collected at the end of anesthesia, differ from those in the existing literature. [26][27] In contrast to a previous study that highlighted only the presence of fungi, we observed the growth of both bacteria and fungi at different points in time. A possible explanation [26][27] is that while the medium in the canister is alkaline, it might not be regularly rinsed.…”

“…Changing the breathing circuit between patients is recommended to minimize the risk of cross contamination. 27 However, for the prevention and control of VAP to be efficient, it is necessary to standardize and carry out careful processing of the items that make up this circuit, which was not followed in the study center. The American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology (AANA) recommends that the disinfection process be performed on all components of the anesthesia equipment.…”

The transmission of microorganisms in healthcare settings, including perioperative areas, has become a potential concern in recent studies. The occupancy of spaces by previously colonized or infected patients increases the risk of acquiring multidrug-resistant microorganisms, emphasizing the critical importance of robust cleaning and disinfection procedures. [1][2] The persistence of contamination on environmental surfaces has been linked to insufficient cleaning practices in operating rooms and anesthesia workspaces. This is of particular concern as eliminating multidrug-resistant microorganisms from these surfaces is a key strategy to mitigate the prevalence of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) that significantly contribute to morbidity, mortality, and extended hospital stays. [2][3][4][5] The existing [3][4][5][6] cleaning practices in operating rooms and anesthesia work areas are inadequate; therefore, environmental surfaces remain contaminated. Removing multidrug-resistant microorganisms from operating room surfaces is essential to minimizing the risk of HAIs.Furthermore, HAIs contribute to major public health problems by increasing morbidity and mortality rates and prolonging the hospitalization time of patients. [1][2][3][4][5] In particular, surgical patients with open wounds are at a higher risk; 6 therefore, the potential for cross-transmission in the intraoperative environment poses a threat to patient safety. 7Contamination in the anesthesia work area, including the anesthesia cart, faucets, laryngeal masks, laryngoscope blades, touchscreens, keyboards, and the hands of professionals, can result in the transmission of infections that promote health risks, highlighting pneumonia associated with mechanical ventilation (PAVM). [1][2][3][4]8 Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is characterized as an infectious disease with an imprecise diagnosis and multiple causes, which allows divergent recommendations related to preventive measures, diagnosis, and treatment. [9][10][11] Because 24 h of intubation in invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) favor the colonization of microorganisms in the lower airways, orotracheal

“…Essa categoria de artigos envolve uma variedade enorme de materiais processáveis, incluindo: nebulizadores, umidificadores, ambus, circuitos de anestesia e circuitos de equipamentos para suporte ventilatório, como também máscaras e conexões com importante utilização na terapia respiratória. Esses materiais têm a finalidade de introduzir líquidos e/ou gases em forma de micropartículas, que são inaladas, atingindo as vias aéreas e possibilitando, assim, o alívio de processos inalatórios, conjuntivos e obstrutivos 4 .…”

Objetivo: buscar as evidências do processamento de artigos de terapia ventilatória nas publicações nacionais de Enfermagem. Método: estudo de levantamento bibliográfico, com recorte temporal de dez anos, nas bases de dados LILACS, MEDLINE, BDENF e SciELO, em que foram analisados seis artigos científicos e 12 manuais técnicos. Resultados: tanto a literatura nacional quanto os manuais técnicos publicados recomendam, para o processamento dos artigos de assistência ventilatória, a realização da limpeza, seguida da desinfecção de alto nível pelo calor úmido em temperaturas superiores a 70 °C, pelo período de 30 minutos; a esterilização a vapor saturada sob pressão para os artigos termorresistentes ou a esterilização à baixa temperatura para os artigos termossensíveis. Conclusão: dado o número reduzido de publicações sobre o tema, as informações colhidas nos revelaram a necessidade de um melhor controle dos processos de limpeza e termodesinfecção, uma vez que as tecnologias disponíveis nos permitem chegar a um índice relevante no impacto da qualidade e da segurança do material processado.
