Abstract
El Virus Respiratorio Sincitial (VRS) es una causa importante de infección respiratoria de vías bajas en Pediatría. Se trata de un virus ubicuo que muestra una regularidad estacional y puede dar lugar a grandes epidemias de forma anual. El desarrollo de la actividad sanitaria puede dar lugar a efectos adversos no deseados, entre los que se encuentran la infección nosocomial. La infección nosocomial es aquélla que se desarrolla como consecuencia de la atención hospitalaria y hasta un 22% son de origen vírico. Dentro de éstas, el VRS es la causa más frecuente de infección nosocomial vírica. Las características del virus hacen que, en época de epidemia, se extienda rápidamente en las salas de Pediatría, especialmente en personas con patología de base e inmunodeprimidos. Dentro de la estrategia de Seguridad propuesta por el Ministerio de Sanidad se incluye la prevención de la infección relacionada con la asistencia sanitaria y la implantación de prácticas seguras en el cuidado de los pacientes. La gestión de riesgos sanitarios es fundamental para la identificación, evaluación y tratamiento de los posibles efectos adversos derivados de la asistencia sanitaria. Es prioritario conocer la situación real en la que nos encontramos, para poder proponer una estrategia de futuro e implementar acciones de mejora...
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is an important cause of lower respiratory tract infection in pediatrics. It is a ubiquitous virus that shows seasonal regularity and can lead to major epidemics annually. The development of health activity may lead to undesirable adverse effects, including nosocomial infection, which is a consequence of hospital care and up to 22% are of viral origin. RSV is the most frequent cause of viral nosocomial infection. The characteristics of the virus make it spread rapidly in the wards of paediatrics during the epidemic, especially in people with pathology and immunosuppressed. The safety strategy proposed by the Ministry of Health includes the prevention of infection related to health care and the implementation of safe practices in the care of patients. The management of health risks is essential for the identification, evaluation and treatment of possible adverse effects derived from health care. To know the real situation is a priority in order to propose a future strategy and implement improvement actions..
