Objective:to identify the average direct cost of maintaining the patency of totally implanted central venous catheter with heparin at a Day Hospital of a public hospital of high complexity specialized in the treatment of cancer patients, and estimate the average direct cost of replacing heparin with sodium chloride 0.9%. Method:quantitative, exploratory-descriptive study, with a sample of 200 non-participant observations of the maintenance of totally implanted central venous catheters with heparin. The average direct cost was calculated by multiplying the (clocked) time spent by professionals to complete the procedure by the direct unit cost of workforce, added to the cost of materials and solutions. Results:the estimated total direct cost of catheter maintenance with heparin was US$ 9.71 (SD=1.35) on average, ranging from US$ 7.98 to US$ 23.28. The estimated total direct cost of maintenance with 0.9% sodium chloride in the place of heparin was US$ 8.81 (SD=1.29) on average, resulting in a reduction of US$ 0.90 per procedure. Conclusion:the results contributed to propose strategies to assist in cost containment/minimization in this procedure. The replacement of heparin by 0.9% sodium chloride proved to be an option to reduce the total average direct cost.

“…Assim, a educação continuada dos profissionais, por meio de treinamentos e cursos de reciclagem, é um fator contribuinte para o declínio desse indicador. Além disso, o levantamento das causas de retrabalho pelo enfermeiro do CME com a equipe de enfermagem é essencial para a investigação de falhas de processos e, concomitantemente, elaboração de uma análise de causa-raiz efetiva 6,18,19 .…”

Objetivo: Identificar as principais causas de retrabalho de produtos para saúde (PPS) detectadas no Centro de Materiais e Esterilização (CME)de um hospital particular de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brasil. Método: Estudo descritivo, desenvolvido em um CME de classe II de um hospital privadode Belo Horizonte. Foi realizada análise documental entre janeiro e junho de 2016, por meio de 181 registros de checklist e documentos de trabalho.Para tratamento dos dados, utilizou-se análise estatística descritiva para apresentação de valores absolutos e porcentagens geradas pelo programa EpiInfo7®. Resultados: Foram encontrados 605 itens de retrabalho, que representaram uma taxa de 0,75% do total de caixas e pacotes produzidos. As principaiscausas foram relacionadas a produtos vencidos (74%) e resíduos orgânicos pós-esterilização (13%). Conclusão: O enfermeiro deve trabalhar com aequipe para redução das causas de retrabalho que impactam em desperdícios e custos desnecessários.

Objective:to analyze the mean direct cost of the constituent procedures of conventional hemodialysis, performed in three public teaching and research hospitals. Method:quantitative, exploratory-descriptive study, of the multiple case study type. The mean direct cost was calculated by multiplying the time (timed) spent by nursing professionals, on the execution of procedures, by the unit cost of direct labor, added to the cost of materials and solutions/medications. Results:the total mean direct cost, in patients with an arteriovenous fistula corresponded to US$25.10 in hospital A, US$37.34 in hospital B and US$25.01 in hospital C, and in patients with a dual lumen catheter, US$32.07 in hospital A, US$40.58 in hospital B and US$30.35 in hospital C. The weighted mean values obtained were US$26.59 for hospital A, US$38.96 for hospital B and US$27.68 for hospital C. It was noted that the “installation and removal of hemodialysis fistula access” caused a significantly lower economic impact compared to “installation and removal of hemodialysis catheter access”. Conclusion:with the knowledge developed it will be possible to support hospital managers, technical managers and nursing professionals in the decision making process, with a view to the rational allocation of the necessary inputs for the performance of conventional hemodialysis.
