Acarbose in Prevention of Stroke

In the field of science and research, clinical laboratories play an essential role in the advancement of medicine and the understanding of target diseases. Evaluate compliance with biosafety standards in a tertiary care clinical laboratory. Method. An observational, descriptive study was carried out in the first quarter of the year 2024 in a clinical laboratory of the third level of care, as an instrument an observation guide made up of 19 items was used: aimed at the 7 clinical laboratory professionals and one assistant. health services N=8. The observation was carried out by three professionals, two Masters in Biological Safety and one Master in infectious diseases, in a direct, open, non-participatory manner and for 45 minutes. To measure the level of agreement between observers, the Fleiss Kappa statistical method was used. Root cause analysis methodology or Ishikawa diagram was used to visualize the aspect of greatest non-compliance with biosafety standards. Results. There was a 14.2% non-compliance rate related to food intake in the laboratory and non-use of gloves. Waste management is the aspect of greatest non-compliance in the laboratory. Conclusion. The observation guide made it possible to identify the aspects that favor non-compliance with biosafety standards and the Ishikawa Diagram facilitated the vision of the possible causes of poor waste management in search of improvement actions.
