Efetivação de protocolos de biossegurança entre profissionais atuantes na radiologia convencional: revisão de literatura

Abstract

The objective of this study was to conduct a literature review on the effectiveness and application of biosafety protocols by professionals in the conventional radiology sector. Radiology is an essential part of the medical field, constantly used for diagnosing diseases. However, exposure to ionizing radiation and the handling of high-risk biological contamination equipment pose significant threats to professionals and patients alike. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure the effective implementation of biosafety protocols to minimize these risks. To achieve the proposed objectives, a literature review was conducted using scientific databases and specialized journals. The inclusion and exclusion criteria were defined based on the year of publication and the quality of the written material, using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) as a reference. The analysis of the selected articles and documents was carried out with a focus on identifying biosafety protocols, their characteristics, and results related to their implementation. The findings of this review concluded that there is a lack of effective application of biosafety protocols by professionals working in the conventional radiology sector and should contribute to improving the safety of healthcare professionals and patients.
