Hepatic function test: Labor risk in surgical nurses?
Keywords:
Hepatitis Toxic, Surgical Nurses, Risk Factor, WorkplaceAbstract
Introduction: the hepatotoxicidad of the halogenados produces syndromes of clinical characteristics and similar laboratory discoveries to the viral hepatitis.
Objective: to determine if the surgical nurses present alterations of the hepatic function in comparison with the students of the course of surgical nurse.
Material and methods: a comparative survey was applied to the surgical ones and the students, capturing the personal antecedents, and the quantification of the hepatic functional tests.
Results: the age in the group of surgical nurses (N=15) and the students (n=15) were 40 ± 3.8 (Half ± DS) and 34.4 ± 4.6 respectively, the labor antiquity 16.4 ± 4.6 and 10.8 ± 2.8, 12% of the tests functional liverworts indicated to be altered in the surgical nurses and 19.3% in the students.
Discussion: the tests functional liverworts altered in the personnel that works in operating theatre it is product from the exhibition to the halogenados or they already enter with these alterations.
Conclusion: the surgical ones present less alterations in the hepatic functional tests than the students for what these represent a group of high risk.
