Considering the widely divergent views of the nursing staff with respect to nebulizer disinfection in Basic Health Units (BHU) and to the lack of standardization of the use of chemical products and of the disinfection process as a whole, the author undertook an investigation with the following objectives: to observe systematically the routine procedure of nebulizer disinfection in the aerosol room of a BHU, and to detect, point out and warn about possible faults in the disinfection process. The disinfection process was observed directly and systematically and a questionnaire with open questions was applied to the nurse responsible for the service. The results showed that the process of disinfection performed is not consistent with recommendations by the Health Department and/or State Health Secretariat, and that the personnel involved in this activity has incomplete knowledge of the standardization of the use of the chemical products utilized and of the conditions that interfere with their action during the disinfection process. The results obtained indicate the need for a standardization of the disinfection process as whole, according to current sanitary norms and for continual in-service education in order to improve the quality of nursing care provided to the users of health services.
