■医疗设施产生医疗废物,也称为医疗废物或卫生设施废物,在医疗保健提供过程中,由于医疗系统资金不足,管理不当,训练差,以及缺乏对处理医疗废物的政策和立法的认识,以及在埃塞俄比亚等发展中国家没有遵守正确处理此类废物的国家准则。
■估算埃塞俄比亚东部选定公立医院的医疗废物产生率。
■从2023年6月1日至2023年7月30日,在埃塞俄比亚东部的八位公众中进行了横断面研究设计。根据WHO和经验证据,使用“床-病人-医疗废物”模型来估算医疗废物产生率。HCW产生率=无(住院患者(INpts)+门诊患者(Outpts))/天*0.53kg/天。同时,一般(GW),传染性(IW),制药(PW),锐器(SW),和病理学(PtW)计算如下:GW=No.(Inpt+Oupt)/天*0.53kg/天和IW,PW,SW,和PtW=没有。指数/天*0.53公斤/天。相比之下,对于危险和非危险的医疗废物,HCWs/天的数量*0.8和数量。使用HCWs/天*0.2,还应用了关键线人访谈和实地观察。描述性分析,如百分比,意思是,并给出了标准偏差。
■根据目前的评估,门诊产生105.1-142.8公斤/天的医疗废物,公立医院住院病人产生167.3-244.2公斤/天的医疗废物。从这些,按非危险和有害废物估算的每日医疗废物产生率的平均值±SD为164.6±80.9kg/患者/天和41.2±20.2kg/患者/天,分别。在日常生活中,一般废物的平均值和标准偏差(平均值±SD),感染废物,制药废物,尖锐的废物,病理性废物/患者为62%(521.9),23%(194.8),4%(35.4),2%(17.7),和9%(70.9),分别。
■目前的评估得出的结论是,选定的公立医院产生了大量的医疗废物,没有被有效地隔离,在源头分离,并且没有常规或标准治疗。因此,该研究建议鼓励在医院废物和废水管理方面的区域和全球合作。
UNASSIGNED: Healthcare facilities generate medical
waste, also known as healthcare
waste or health facility
waste, during the healthcare delivery process, which is improperly managed as a result of underfunded healthcare systems, poor training, and lack of awareness of policies and legislation on handling medical waste as well as do not have national guidelines in place to adhere to the correct disposal of such wastage in developing countries like Ethiopia.
UNASSIGNED: To estimate the healthcare
waste generation rate among selected public hospitals in eastern Ethiopia.
UNASSIGNED: A cross-sectional study design was conducted in eight public in eastern Ethiopia from 1st June 2023 to 30th July 2023. The \"Bed-Patient-healthcare wastes\" model was used to estimate the healthcare
waste generation rate based on WHO and empirical evidence. HCW generation rate = No of (Inpatients (Inpts) + Outpatients (Outpts))/day*0.53 kg/day. Meanwhile, general (GW), infectious (IW), pharmaceutical (PW), sharps (SW), and pathological (PtW) are computed as follows: GW = No. of (Inpt + Oupt)/day*0.53 kg/day and IW, PW, SW, and PtW = No. of Inpts/day*0.53 kg/day. In contrast, for hazardous and non-hazardous healthcare wastes, No of HCWs/day*0.8 and no. of HCWs/day*0.2 were utilized, and Key informant interviews and field observational were also applied. Descriptive analysis such as percentage, mean, and standard deviation were presented.
UNASSIGNED: According to the current assessment, 105.1-142.8 kg/day healthcare waste was generated from outpatient and 167.3-244.2 kg/day from inpatients of public hospitals. From these, the Mean ± SD of daily healthcare waste generation rate estimated by non-hazardous and hazardous
waste were 164.6 ± 80.9 kg/patients/day and 41.2 ± 20.2 kg/patients/day, respectively. In daily generation, the mean and standard deviations (Mean ± SD) of general wastes, infections waste, pharmaceutical wastes, sharp wastes, and pathological waste/patient were 62% (521.9), 23% (194.8), 4% (35.4), 2% (17.7), and 9% (70.9), respectively.
UNASSIGNED: The current assessment concluded that a large volume of healthcare waste is generated from selected public hospitals, which were not effectively segregated, separated at the source, and haven\'t conventional or standard treatment. As a result, the study advised that regional and global collaboration in hospital waste and wastewater management be encouraged.
