EVALUATION OF HEALTHCARE WASTE MANAGEMENT IN A PUBLIC HOSPITAL: A CASE IN BELO HORIZONTE (MG), BRAZIL

EVALUATION OF HEALTHCARE WASTE MANAGEMENT IN A PUBLIC HOSPITAL: A CASE IN BELO HORIZONTE (MG), BRAZIL

This study aimed to analyze the quantity and types of Healthcare Waste (HCW) generated in a hospital at the time of the HCW management plan implementation (2013) - comparing with the generation data of the current days (2020). Thus, we discussed potentialities and challenges inherent to the plan structuring in the hospital services, identifying seasonal changes or even those related to the Covid-19 pandemic. This is a descriptive and exploratory study of a quantitative nature. Data were obtained from the institution's HCW management plan, including daily generation of HCW. The data suggested a positive influence of the HCW implementation plan in the reduction of generated waste, although an increase in the quantity of infectious and chemical waste was observed, and a reduction in non-hazardous waste was identified, suggesting improvements in the segregation of potentially contaminated waste and that refer to the greatest risk to collective health and the environment.

Este estudo objetivou analisar o quantitativo e tipos de Resíduos de Serviços de Saúde (RSS) gerados em uma instituição hospitalar à época do início da implantação do Plano de Gerenciamento de Resíduos de Serviços de Saúde (PGRSS) (2013), comparando com os dados de geração dos dias atuais (2020). Visando assim, discutir potencialidades e desafios inerentes à sua estruturação nos serviços, identificar alterações sazonais ou mesmo correlacionadas à pandemia da Covid-19. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo e exploratório, de natureza quantitativa. Os dados foram obtidos em planilhas do PGRSS da instituição, contendo registros diários da pesagem dos RSS. Os dados sugerem uma influência positiva da implantação do PGRSS na redução de resíduos vez que, embora tenha se observado o aumento do quantitativo de resíduos infectantes e químicos, identificou-se a redução dos resíduos comuns, sugerindo melhorias na segregação dos resíduos potencialmente contaminados e que remetem ao maior risco para a saúde coletiva e o meio ambiente.
