Item Implementación de un protocolo de control de calidad para la esterilización de desechos biocontaminados producidos en el laboratorio de microbiología del Hospital General Ambato(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Centro de Posgrados, 2022-10) Ñacato Anchaluisa, Byron Rafael; Guangasig Toapanta, Víctor Hernán Bq.F. Mg.The correct disposal of biocontaminated elements is a responsibility that cannot be taken as a minor problem and even worse considering that the management of these wastes can be done without the respective considerations, the impact that the incorrect disposal of waste has several consequences, it can affect both the personnel who work in the institution, as well as the other people who come to the HGDA for any other reason, as well as the environmental impact becomes irreversible. There are regulations issued by the Ministry of Health, the same ones that are not carried out due to various factors, or due to ignorance of these regulations, despite the fact that they are documents available to officials and that they should only be compliance compliance, notwithstanding the This work points out the issue of sterilization of biocontaminated waste before its final disposal, with which we will be able to reduce the chances of causing cross-infection, between the waste produced in the microbiology area and the personnel who work in this department. The protocol to be implemented will allow us to carry out an effective, controlled and verified process of sterilization of biocontaminated waste, thanks to the verification and monitoring of physical controls (temperature, time, pressure), chemical (control tape) and biological (thermostatic bacteria). resistant). A critical point that was denoted when conducting a brief survey of the personnel involved, is that many do not know the correct way to eliminate or handle these contaminated elements, which is why this work will allow us to identify the shortcomings to correct them and promote the actions that are done correctly
