Item Diseño de un manual de calidad para el centro de salud divino niño en el municipio de Tumaco (Nariño) enfocado en el área de control prenatal(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2022) Martinez, Norma Liliana; Bermeo Varón, Leonardo Antonio (Director)Divino Niño health center, located in the municipality of San Andres de Tumaco, is an institution that provides first-level healthcare services to the community. The hospital has policies for the constant improvement of clinical practices for customer satisfaction. Currently, the prenatal control area does not have a quality manual that complies with the guidelines or legal requirements for its operation, and with these policies, not only the prenatal control area but all areas must also have quality processes to provide a better service. Thus, in this work, the design of a quality manual for the prenatal control area is carried out where it is included three methodological phases: (i) normative information gathering phase, (ii) analysis phase, and (iii) structuring phase. The results indicate that the design of the quality manual for the prenatal care area at the Divino Niño health center is important since these guidelines improve the processes of user care, thus increasing quality processes oriented to clinical practice.Item Gestión de riesgos asociado al uso de desfibriladores: una revisión.(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2023) Rodríguez Zambrano, Ana Fernanda; Burbano Pasuy, Pablo Alexander; Bermeo Varón, Leonardo Antonio (Director)The importance of risk management and electrical safety of biomedical equipment in health care plays a fundamental role in the quality of service in health institutions, therefore, in this work a review of the literature related to risk management protocols and electrical safety of biomedical systems was carried out, establishing a case study oriented to defibrillators. In the methodological process, keywords such as "risk management" AND ("protocols" OR "biomedical equipment" OR "biomedical systems" OR "defibrillator") and their English language counterparts in Redalyc, Google Shoolar, Sciencie Direct and institutional repositories were used. We found 126 texts published between the years 2013 to 2023, to which the inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied leaving 38 documents to analyze. The results indicate that patient safety risk was the category with the most studies (36.8%). This indicates that the safety of patients, users and health care personnel is a concern in the context of risk management in biomedical equipment. Electrical safety and risks in biomedical equipment obtained 15.8% and 26.3%, respectively. United States and Colombia emerged as countries with an outstanding activity in research related to risk management in biomedical equipment. However, it is necessary to coordinate efforts to increase research on the evaluation of the effectiveness and practical implementation of risk management regulations and protocols.Item Imрасtо y desafíos en la acreditación de laboratorios de metrologia en colombia: revisión sistemática de la literatura.(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Collazos Martinez, Jerson Daniel; Bermeo Varón, Leonardo Antonio (Director)In Colombia, the accreditation of biomedical metrology laboratories by external organizations is essential to ensure compliance with international quality standards. The purpose of this project is to determine the number of accredited laboratories in Colombia and analyze the obstacles faced by those seeking accreditation. A systematic review of the literature is used as a tool to examine the existing evidence regarding the impact and challenges related to the accreditation of metrology laboratories in the country. Accreditation aims to improve the quality and safety of healthcare services while promoting collaboration between laboratories and healthcare providers. Challenges in obtaining accreditation include the scarcity of specialized laboratories, lack of technical competence, resource limitations, and the need to compare performance among different laboratories. The ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard is used as a basis to implement quality management systems in laboratories. The implementation of accreditation has demonstrated advantages, such as increased customer confidence and operational efficiency, as well as an upsurge in demand for services and participation in national and international projects. The accreditation of laboratories has been driven by specific governmental policies and regulations in Colombia, leading to an increase in the number of accredited laboratories, which could contribute to the country's economic development and competitiveness in the international trade arena.Item Sistema de localización interior para equipos biomédicos usando knn(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2023) Mañunga Mayor, Juan Pablo; Bermeo Varón, Leonardo Antonio (Director)Preventive, corrective, and predictive maintenance of biomedical equipment in an institution is essential for its proper functioning. This maintenance must be performed regularly and on time, ensuring that the equipment is in optimal conditions for its use, reducing repair costs, prolonging its useful life, and complying with health regulations. To fulfill this task, the institutions implement a maintenance program that must be strictly adhered to. However, occasional delays may occur due to various factors, one of the most common being equipment loss. However, sometimes there are delays due to different factors, one of the most common being the loss of equipment. Tracking technology has been introduced in clinics and hospitals to improve the efficiency of this maintenance. This technology makes it possible to track equipment in motion, avoiding wasted time in searching for it and ensuring timely revisions. To implement an effective location system, an analysis of the operating environment is performed, and the appropriate technology is selected, where the quality of the Wi-Fi signal and the received signal strength information (RSS) are essential elements for location accuracy. In this paper, a device is developed for fast and effective equipment detection utilizing access point power using a k-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm. The indoor location system for biomedical equipment achieves 90% accuracy, which could contribute to improving the management and maintenance of biomedical equipment in hospital environments, ensuring high quality medical care and reducing operating costs.Item Una revisión de procesos de calibración de ventiladores mecánicos(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Zea Diaz, Valentina; Rivera Chila, Christian Camilo; Bermeo Varón, Leonardo Antonio (Director)Mechanical ventilation is a procedure of artificial respiration employing a mechanical device, which allows assisting or substituting the respiratory function, to improve oxygenation and contribute to pulmonary mechanics. During the time of the Covid-19 pandemic, the importance of the use of mechanical ventilators, fundamental for respiratory insufficiency generated by the infection, was evidenced; the growing demand for this equipment evidenced the lack of governmental regulation of the use, maintenance processes, and calibration of its duly documented parameters. In this sense, a bibliographic review of the calibration processes for mechanical ventilators was carried out in this work. The search was carried out using descriptors in different databases such as Springer, Dialnet, Scopus, Scielo, Google Scholar, and PubMed, considering publications in scientific journals, theses, and websites of organizations over 16 years (2009-2024). The results show that the calibration takes into account processes before the activity, such as (i) preparation of the environment for reliable data collection, including temperature and relative humidity, (ii) preparation and conditioning of the analyzer and ventilator under study, (iii) mounting for connection of the analyzer to the equipment, and (iv) calibration of the equipment considering tidal volume, respiratory frequency, I:E ratio, peak pressure, PEEP, FiO2 and peak respiratory flow.
