Abstract(s)
Os sistemas de transferência em circuito fechado na preparação de medicamentos citotóxicos tornaram-se uma ferramenta essencial para os profissionais de saúde que executam estas tarefas. A natureza dos fármacos envolvidos obriga a cuidados redobrados e, como tal, o desenvolvimento destes dispositivos veio garantir uma maior segurança a um procedimento que cada vez se torna mais comum.
Na presente monografia, é ilustrado o método convencional de preparação de medicamentos citotóxicos e demonstrado como a exposição ocupacional a estes fármacos acarreta sérios riscos para a saúde dos operadores, bem como para todos os profissionais de saúde envolvidos neste processo.
Para além do mais, são também enumerados os diversos sistemas de transferência em circuito fechado existentes atualmente no mercado, a tecnologia associada a cada um deles, bem como os benefícios que a utilização de cada um destes dispositivos proporciona na melhoria da segurança, facilidade de preparação e diminuição das consequências para a saúde no que diz respeito à manipulação destes agentes de elevada toxicidade.
Closed-circuit transfer systems for the preparation of cytotoxic drugs have become an essential tool for healthcare professionals who perform these tasks. The nature of the involved drugs requires extra care and, as such, the development of these devices has ensured greater safety for a procedure that is becoming more and more common. In this work, the conventional method of preparing antineoplastic drugs is illustrated and demonstrated how occupational exposure to these drugs poses serious risks to the operator’s health, and other health professionals, during this process. In addition, there are also listed the various closed circuit transfer devices currently on the market, the technology associated with each, as well as the benefits that the use of each of these devices provides in improving safety, ease of preparation and reducing the consequences for health, regarding the handling of these highly toxic agents.
