Implementação padronizada da descontaminação do uniforme 1º AGBS após contatos com fluidos corporais

Abstract

The military firefighter is responsible for the execution of multiple operational activities, providing support to clinical and trauma victims, consequently being exposed to biological risks provided by contact with body fluids that contain pathogenic microorganisms. Thus, the work presented aims to standardize the decontamination of the 1st A GBS uniform, which is the first protective barrier for firefighters to contact with body fluids, and can be a vector for the spread of pathogens, in addition to its frequent use because it is the uniform symbol of the actions of search and rescue used by the main battalions of the CBMMA. For this purpose, a literature review was carried out, discussing the biological risks present in uniforms that are characterized as vectors of contamination, washing and decontamination process of uniforms, in addition to convenient substances for decontamination. In addition, there was the application of a questionnaire based on the routine of the military in their barracks, situations in occurrences and measurement of knowledge to carry out the decontamination of the uniform. The results obtained showed that contact with bodily fluids is imminent by military firefighters in the operational service environment, demanding a standardized implementation of the uniform
