Cette étude descriptive et transversale dans les salles d’opération des hôpitaux de İzmir, en Turquie, a évalué les conditions ergonomiques environnementales et physiques qui peuvent exposer le personnel périopératoire à un risque de blessure ou de maladie. Les résultats indiquent que même si certains facteurs environnementaux se situaient dans des limites acceptables, d’autres risques ergonomiques physiques n’étaient pas adéquatement pris en compte, ce qui exposait les membres du personnel périopératoire à des risques pour la santé.
This descriptive, cross-sectional study in hospital ORs in İzmir, Turkey, assessed the environmental and physical ergonomic conditions that may place perioperative personnel at risk for injury or illness. We used an ergonomic conditions and risk factor description form to collect data in 58 ORs in nine different hospitals. We identified that the noise level and general air quality in the ORs were within recommended levels. However, none of the ORs had a surgical smoke evacuation system, pressure-absorbing mats, or special equipment to facilitate patient moving and lifting. Approximately 70% of the ORs had high stools to provide short periods of rest for the surgical personnel. In addition, perioperative personnel did not wear protection to prevent intraoperative radiation exposure. These results indicate that although some environmental factors were within acceptable limits, other physical ergonomic risks were not adequately addressed, thereby placing perioperative staff members at risk for health concerns.
