Monitoramento da qualidade da água do setor dehemodialise de um hospital da rede privada da cidade de João Pessoa —PB

Abstract

Analyzes of physical, chemical, and biological parameters are extremely important for monitoring the quality of water used for hemodialysis and must be carried out on a continuous basis. With the aim of monitoring and evaluating the performance of dialysis water treatment in a private hospital in the city of João Pessoa in the state of Paraíba, comparing the results obtained with the standard established by legislation, analyzes of some physicochemical parameters were carried out. and microbiological that are required by Resolution of the Collegiate Board (RDC) 11 of March 13, 2014. During the period from March 2023 to August 2023, monthly water collections were carried out at the hospital. The first collection point (A) was directly from the water from the hospital's artesian well, which is on average 100 meters deep, and the second collection point (B) was just after all stages of the dialysis water treatment plant installed in the hospital. local. The results showed us that the hospital's existing treatment plant has excellent performance in reducing the concentrations of the analyzed parameters. However, even with all the treatment carried out, it is still possible to find concentrations of Chromium ion in the post-treatment water. The hospital was proposed to have greater control over the disinfection of equipment and a shorter periodicity for the maintenance of reverse osmosis water pre-treatment filters, paying greater attention to the softening filter, which is responsible for reducing the concentration of this type of metal. Having quality water for hemodialysis is a means of preventing risks to patients' health.
