Maintenance Management in Hospital Equipment: Systematic Review / Gestão da Manutenção em Equipamentos Hospitalares: Revisão Sistemática
Abstract
The maintenance of hospital equipment is of fundamental importance for an adequate medical diagnosis. The conduct of this maintenance can be managed in different strategies. The purpose of this study is to systematically review the main types of maintenance used by healthcare organizations to manage hospital equipment between the period 2010 and 2020. For this, a literature review was carried out in the electronic databases PubMed and Capes Journals Portal/MEC. The predominance of the application of preventive maintenance in the hospital sector was highlighted, however other methodologies such as predictive maintenance, evidence-based and reliability centered maintenance (RCM) were proposed as a way to obtain efficient results and mitigate the risk of failures. It has been proposed that the use of mathematical approaches should be further explored in this area. Therefore, increases in the overall effectiveness of hospital equipment are expected.

RESUMO
A manutenção dos equipamentos hospitalares é de fundamental importância para um diagnóstico médico adequado. A condução desta manutenção pode ser gerenciada em diferentes estratégias. O objetivo deste estudo é revisar sistematicamente os principais tipos de manutenção utilizados pelas organizações de saúde para gerenciar equipamentos hospitalares entre o período de 2010 a 2020. Para isso, foi realizada uma revisão de literatura nas bases de dados eletrônicas PubMed e Portal de Periódicos Capes/MEC. Destacou-se a predominância da aplicação da manutenção preventiva no setor hospitalar, porém outras metodologias como manutenção preditiva, manutenção baseada em evidências e manutenção centrada na confiabilidade (RCM) foram propostas como forma de obter resultados eficientes e mitigar os riscos de falhas. Foi proposto que o uso de abordagens matemáticas deve ser mais explorado nesta área. Portanto, são esperados aumentos na eficácia geral dos equipamentos hospitalares.
Palavras-chave: Estratégias de Manutenção. Manutenção Preventiva. Eficácia Geral do Equipamento.
