ABSTRACT

Objective: To know which is the incidence of the occupational accidents inside the hospital in a period of 11 years and its impact as for working day and needs that the eventful one receives or not prophylaxis for HIV and / or also vaccination against hepatitis B. This will give us a panorama of how we are working as for the labor accident prevention measurements. Material and methods: An epidemiologic type study was carried out observational, descriptively and longitudinally, to determine which is the real epidemiology within the Hospital Infantil de México Federico Gómez and which is the frequency and annual distribution. Analysis: Analyzed the total number of cases and their relationship with the type of material or object that produced it, obtaining its frequency, and comparing different schedules to the workdays. Thus it is we had the corresponding rate in relation to both the type of activity of the health personnel who attends this institution, the rate in terms of the number of occupational accidents × 100 versus 1,000 × workers as well as × 1,000 patients. Results: We found 838 accidents, the most frequent were caused by needle puncture (608 cases) accounting for 72.5% and a rate (in the 11 years) of 4.60. The caused by bodily fluids corresponded to 60 events. To analyze the rates per 100 and 1,000 workers as well as per 1,000 patients, emphasizes that both rates by 100 and by 1,000 workers were very similar in terms of each type of activity, but to be compared by 1,000 patients the highest rates were in: Laboratorians (4.2) followed by medical students (2.66) and doctors of base (2.5). In the case of start of PEP a very low percentage (26.7%) required; what contrasts with regard to those who required vaccination against hepatitis B; given that only 294 had their complete schema. Conclusions: Continue to support the aforementioned regulations and guidelines that drive the improvement processes for prevention of occupational accidents, to maintain this quality. But we need vaccination campaigns generate more intensive in them.
