Estudo de caso das instalações elétricas da Unidade Terapia Intensiva do Real Hospital Português .

Abstract

This work deals with the case study of the electrical installations of the Intensive Care Unit of the Real Hospital Português de Beneficência in Pernambuco (RHP), site of Group 2 of Health Care Establishments (EAS). The equipment and electrical installations that are used in these environments must receive quality energy due to the requirements of reliability and safety that these establishments must offer. To guarantee the supply of uninterrupted energy, the requirement of places such as Intensive Care Units (ICUs) and Surgical Centers, for example, must be powered by the Medical IT System grounding scheme. This work brings, in a clear and succinct way, what specifies the standards NBR 13534, NBR 5410 and RDC nº 50ª, in addition to the application of these standards in the ICU of Real Hospital Português, site of group 2, object of study of this work. It was possible to conclude that it is important to have an electrical project complying with the current regulations for this type of installation. And it is also essential to integrate the areas of Clinical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and the Medical Staff in order to be able to satisfy the demands that EAS require. In addition, more resources should be invested in these facilities and especially in the Medical IT System to prevent accidents to patients and the medical staff, ensuring safety and reliability in the supply of electrical energy for the group 2 environments.
