BACTERIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE SURGICAL CENTER AIR OF THE SANTARÉM HOSPITAL - PA

These data report on nosocomial infections that are those acquired while the patient is still in the hospital setting. These infections can lead to consequences for the patient as they can be a major health problem considering the high cost of medication and hospitalizations over a longer period. Air is one of the exogenous pathways of microorganisms, those that remain suspended in the air for a long time. The objective of this research was to verify, through microbiological analysis, the bacteria present in the air while performing surgical procedures.
