The risks during the performance of work is an inherent situation to any human activity. Hospital Safety is defined as: “the condition that guarantees that the workers, patients, visitors, infrastructure and equipment within a health care center are free of risk or danger of accidents”. The construction of the prevention culture starts from the knowledge of the risks, the safety culture is directly related to the quality of care of the service provided, which is why these terms are of special interest in health institutions. Talking about comprehensive risk management, either, involves determining all the risks that could cause considerable damage to these systems, given by the interaction of three factors, the presence of a threat, the existence of vulnerabilities and the time they are exposed to. Thus we can distinguish that hospital safety must be an internal policy of every healt...

Gas poisoning, both voluntary and involuntary, has a high incidence and is often accompanied by high mortality. Occupational exposures and fires are the most common sources of inhalation injury. Suffocants chemicals are substances that cause oxygen deficiency without interfering with respiratory mechanics by altering biological oxidative mechanisms. Among the main chemical fixing agents are carbon monoxide and cyanide, which act by altering cellular respiration through blocks of mitochondrial enzymes. When exposed inadequately to both gases, they can cause symptoms ranging from mild and nonspecific symptoms to alterations at the neurological and cardiovascular levels or even death within minutes. It is important to know the comprehensive management of patients intoxicated by biochemical asphyxiants, in the case of carbon monoxide, the adequate use of oxygen and support measures, and in t...

The last year and a half, it was shown that the lack of use of data and information of origin in the health sector, produced one of the greatest catastrophes that humanity has experienced in the last 100 years. The aforementioned, due to a failure of vision, which unfortunately is seen as a problem not only of national security, but also of human security. Intelligence is the discipline that carries out the planning, collection, analysis and generation of products for the decision-making of the leaders of a country, sector, organization or society. This can be used very well in the health sector, applying the intelligence cycle model used in the security or financial field. That is, generating products from the analysis of raw information, lines of action, strategies and prospective scenarios that guide the decision maker to carry out health policies that comply with the human security s...

The frequency in which people travel internationally increases the potential for transmission of infectious diseases. The main causes of disease in children and adolescents vary according to the age group. Prevention is the most important action to take in public health, as it cannot be carried out if the diseases are not detected in a timely manner. The purpose of this study was to identify the most frequent pediatric diseases in the Emergency Medical Service of an international airport in Mexico. The study was observational, descriptive, retrospective and cross-sectional. It is concluded that diseases of digestive (presumed infectious gastroenteritis) and respiratory origin (pharyngitis) were the most frequent. This information can be used not only as a basis for decisions regarding public health, but also for the selection of equipment and supplies to be used in the medical service of...

Polytrauma in pediatric patients is a frequent event, so its timely approach and management define its prognosis. Polytrauma is defined as the presence of two or more traumatic injuries or a single one that endangers life or there is a risk of serious sequelae; resuscitation is understood as the restoration of vital functions of the patient in the pre-hospital area to the hospital area aimed at avoiding the damage caused by the fatal pentad of trauma (coagulopathy, acidosis, hypothermia, hyperglycemia and hypoxia) for which the Damage control protocol which is referred to all the maneuvers that have the purpose of preserving life, but without carrying out definitive repairs in order to mitigate complications derived from the prolonged state of shock, secondary to a prolonged surgical time that postponed adequate resuscitation, this reduced resuscitation consists of 6 precise indications ...
