| Abstract | O glutaraldeido, amplamente utilizado no reprocessamento de endoscopios pelas vantagens e baixo custo, apresenta alta toxicidade e pode expor os profissionais a riscos ocupacionais. Pesquisa descritiva realizada em 2007 em servicos de endoscopia digestiva de Goiânia-GO/Brasil que caracterizou por meio de um questionario e observacao direta registradas em check list, a exposicao ocupacional dos profissionais que reprocessam endoscopios, verificando as manifestacoes clinicas relatadas por eles e a ventilacao do ambiente. As manifestacoes clinicas relatadas foram de origem gastrica, oftalmologica, dermatologica, neurologica e respiratoria, mais frequentes nas tres ultimas. Dentre as respiratorias, as mais citadas foram: resfriado (72,73%) e constipacao nasal (59,09%), entre as neurologicas: cefaleias (72,73%), sonolencia (72,73%) e tensao (54,55%) e dermatologicas: pele ressecada (59,09%) e prurido (54,55%). A maioria dos servicos nao possui janelas nem exaustor, e os aparelhos de ar condicionado alem de nao possuirem filtros quimicos apropriados produzem turbulencia do ar, impedindo a eliminacao dos vapores toxicos emanados. Os dados sobre o ambiente de trabalho, o uso incorreto dos Equipamentos de Protecao Individual e as manifestacoes clinicas relatadas pelos trabalhadores sugerem evidencias que os servicos de endoscopia estudados podem oferecer risco quimico ocupacional aos trabalhadores durante o manuseio do glutaraldeido.(AU) The glutaraldehyde widely used in the reprocessing of endoscope for the advantages and low cost presents high toxicity and can expose the professionals to occupational risks. Descriptive research carried through digestive endoscope services in Goiânia-GO/ Brazil by means of a questionnaire and direct observation registered in check list, characterized the occupational exposure in professionals who reprocess endoscopes verifying the clinical manifestations reported by them and the environment ventilation. The clinical manifestations reported had been gastric, ophthalmic, dermatological, neurological and respiratory origins, more frequent in the three last ones. Amongst respiratory, the most cited ones had been: cold (72.73%) and nasal constipation (59.09%), between the neurological ones: chronic headaches (72.73%), sleepiness (72.73%) and tension (54.55%) and dermatological: dry skin (59.09%) and pruritus (54.55%). The majority of the services does not have windows nor exhaust fan, and the air conditioning devices beyond not having appropriate chemical filters produce air turbulence, impeding the emanated toxic vapors elimination. The data of the work environment, the incorrect use of the Individual Protection Equipment and the clinical manifestations reported by the workers suggest evidences that the studied endoscope services may offer occupational chemical risk to the workers during the management of glutaraldehyde.(AU) El glutaraldehido, ampliamente utilizado en el reprocesamiento de endoscopios por las ventajas y bajo coste, presenta alta toxicidad y puede exponer los profesionales a riesgos laborales. Investigacion descriptiva realizada en servicios de endoscopia de Goiânia-GO/Brasil que se caracterizo a traves de un cuestionario y observacion un check list, la exposicion ocupacional de los profesionales que reprocesan endoscopios, observando los sintomas notificados por ellos y la ventilacion del ambiente. Las manifestaciones clinicas relatadas fueron de origen gastrico, oftalmologico, dermatologico, neurologicos y respiratorios mas frecuentes en los ultimos tres. Entre las vias respiratorias, los mas citados fueron: resfriado (72,73%) y constipacion nasal (59,09%), entre las neurologicas: cefalea (72,73%), somnolencia (72,73%) y la tension (54, 55%) y dermatologicas: la piel resecado (59,09%) y prurito (54,55%). La mayoria de los servicios no tienen ventanas tampoco exaustores, y los aparatos de aire acondicionado no tienen buenos filtros quimicos apropiados y producen turbulencia de aire, impedindo la eliminacion de los gases toxicos que emanan. Los datos sobre el ambiente de trabajo, el uso incorrecto de los equipos de proteccion individual y los sintomas las manifestaciones clinicas relatadas por los trabajadores sugieren evidencias que los servicios de endoscopia estudiados pueden ofrecer riesgo quimica ocupacional a los trabajadores durante el manoseo del glutaraldehido.(AU) |
