Plano de manutenção preventiva para equipamentos médico-hospitalares para uma unidade de terapia intensiva de um hospital privado na cidade de Teresina - PI

Abstract

During the coronavirus pandemic, medical services and health professionals have been forced to act in an intense and unfavorable regime to treat society. This emergency revealed the importance of prevention in hospital equipment across the country. It is notorious that, even after the end of the emergency, several Brazilian health establishments face financial adversities and problems with cost control, which is why it is believed that the maintenance plan developed in this monograph can contribute to hospitals, especially small ones, in which systematization is often not a reality. The plan serves as a guide for the maintenance team to manage the equipment, optimize the work and guarantee the correct operation and safety in the processes related to these machines. The objective of this work was to develop a preventive maintenance plan for medical-hospital equipment in the intensive care unit of a private hospital in the city of Teresina, in order to avoid negative impacts that are not limited to the financial sector of health institutions, but, mainly in what can be considered paramount: patient safety. This study was justified because the hospital in question does not have a maintenance plan for managing its equipment and most maintenance is done in a corrective way. To prepare the plan, some tasks were carried out to achieve the proposed purpose, such as: Individual Cataloging of Equipment, Coding System, Equipment Life History, Equipment Movement Record, Preventive Maintenance Calendar, Preventive Maintenance Checklist and MP Record Tag. Therefore, with the production of this plan, it was concluded that it will serve as a good practice to be adopted by the hospital in other sectors as well, such as managing and optimizing its equipment. In addition, it was perceived the need to hire a third-party company to carry out all calibration procedures, electrical safety as well as preventive and corrective maintenance.
