Avaliação dos procedimentos higiênico-sanitários utilizados durante a coleta domiciliar e o transporte do leite humano ordenhado

Abstract

The breastfeeding is considered one of the main strategies for child survival and the Human Milk (HM) is the ideal food for the term newborn and pre-term newborn, with the capabilities to supply essential nutrients for their development. In the absence or insufficient volumes of milk from their mother, especially for hospitalized children as newborns pre-term, the option for human milk (HM) of donor human milk banks (HMB) becomes an effective alternative. The HMB as entities that support breastfeeding capture, process and distribute the LHO of donors, and this order is necessary to optimize operational and control of biological risks to secure their supply. The purpose of this job was to evaluate the hygienic-sanitary procedures used by the human milk donators during the milking and the domiciliary storage, as well as the transport from the HM to HMB and to associate the obtained data with the results of the quality control. By the observation of the milking and the domiciliary milk storage process, it was filled out a check list containing the hygienic-sanitary procedures and a social demographic research. Also, it was measured the temperatures inside the thermal boxes used to storage the milk during the transport of the DHM and noted in a spreadsheet. The results of the evaluation of the titratable acidity and the microbiological examination of the samples obtained during the observation was obtained in the register of the Human Milk Bank s of Hospital Clinics, Federal University of Uberlândia (HMB HC/UFU). It was used the chi-square test, logistic regression and the Sperman test to do the statistic analyses, considering p<0,05. It took part of this study 48 donators, with age around de 28,0±5,2 years old, 35% had conclude the high school and 46% had degree. About the procedures evaluated, 83% of the donators wash the hands before the milking, 87% had well cut nails, 94% fastened the hairs, 65% used mask, 73% cleaned up the breasts with filtered water and 33% wasted the first portion of milk, 90% chlorinated or sterilized the utensils; 85% of the samples of DHM were immediate stored under refrigeration after the collect. The average temperature inside the thermal boxes was less than (-)1°C. Two samples (4%) had acidity above 8º Dorni c and one sample (2%) had positive microbiological culture. It did not have association of the obtained data with the Dormic acidity and microbiological analyses. The hygienic-sanitary procedures, the storage and the transport of the LHO are in accordance of the regulations, suggesting an adequate orientation to the donators being done by HMB HC/UFU team.
