11th EORNA Congress Valencia, Spain | 16 - 18 May 2024 ePosters 74 413 Use of the UVD Robot in the Operating Rooms Nikolina Blažević1 1, Tamara Mirkovic1 1General Hospital “Dr. Ivo Pedisic”, Operating Room Unit, Sisak, Croatia Background: Healthcare Associated Infections affect patients in a hospital or other facility, and are not present or incubating at the time of health-care admission. Include infections contracted in the hospital but showing symptoms after discharge. Disinfection implies the use of various means and technologies that help destroy microorganisms and time reduce the possibility of spreading pathogens of surface to patient. The highest number of infections are on intensive care departments, neonatal units and operating rooms. It′s important to constantly carry out personnel education, control samples of the non-living environment and introduce new means and technologies that destroy microorganisms. One of these technologies, or devices, is the UVD Robot, which destroys microorganisms by emitting high-intensity UVC light. The first installation of a UV robot in the Republic of Croatia took place in December 2022 in the General Hospital “Dr. Ivo Pedišić” in Sisak. Objectives: Saving staff time to prepare the next operating procedure, preventing human errors in the disinfection process and highest level of patient and staff safety. Methods: Swabs of non-live environment taken at the Department for Orthopedic Surgery and its Operating Rooms. Results: Swabs of non-live environment taken after mechanical cleaning, chemical disinfection and application of UVD robotic disinfection resulted in the absence of any living microorganisms in the Department of Orthopedics and Operating Rooms. Conclusion: UVD Robot use ensures high levels of patient and staff safety. Reduces risk of human error, reduces incidence of HAI and it is very effective in suppression of SARS-CoV. Research at local and global level has proven UVD Robot effectiveness. 417 INVESTIGATION OF THE MANAGEMENT OF BURNS IN PAEDIATRIC PATIENTS - SYSTEMATIC REVIEW Konstantinos Doumenis1, Maria Polikandrioti2, Georgios Vasilopoulos2, Evaggelos Dousis2, Kyriakos Kritikopoulos1, Aphrodite Zartaloudi2, Ioannis Koutelekos2 1General Hospital Nikaias “San Panteleimon”, Nikaia, Greece, 2University of West Attica, Department of Nursing, Egaleo, Greece Background: Children usually suffer partial thickness burns. The management of the burn includes wound preparation, wound coverage and post-traumatic care. There are different types of patches. An ideal pad should ensure that the wound remains moist, but not too wet. Objectives: The purpose of the thesis was to investigate the management of burns in pediatric patients. Methods: This is a systematic literature review. The literature search was performed in the Pubmed and Google Scholar databases. We used research articles that had been published in the last decade, were written in English and Greek, had access to the full text of the article, and concerned a pediatric population. Results: Of the 5235 articles found, 10 were finally used. Adjunctive negative pressure therapy accelerates reepithelialization in children with minor burns. Negative pressure therapy associated with skin regeneration has a higher success rate in treating complex burn wounds, promotes increased skin graft take rate, decreases skin graft maturation time, and increases skin graft take rate. Dressings containing silver, calcium, or zinc have similar effects on non-infectious burns compared to dressings containing only nitrofurazone and are superior in efficacy to plain paraffin dressings. Among silver dressings, the Mepilex AgTM dressing is more cost-effective in burn healing in children. Silver dressings require fewer changes, promote early burn healing with less hypertrophic scar formation. Conclusion: Although the initial price of dressings with silver, calcium or zinc is more expensive than plain dressings, ultimately the treatment of burns with these dressings is cheaper because children stay fewer days in the hospital, need fewer changes and develop fewer complications. Silver dressings should not be considered the gold standard in noninfectious partial-thickness burns in children.
