QUARTOS DE ISOLAMENTO EM UNIDADES DE URGÊNCIA E EMERGÊNCIA: SINERGIA ENTRE LEGISLAÇÃO E PRÁTICA? Costa Bortoluzzi, Thaize Vanessa Cavalcanti, Patrícia Biasi Moro Bins Ely, Vera Helena The isolation room is part of a set of strategies adopted to control and prevent infections in the hospital environment. Combined with hospital techniques, it helps contain communicable diseases, protect patients, caregivers and healthcare staff. However, it is not mandatory in Emergency Departments according to current regulations. This study aimed at investigating the view of hospital architects — professional class involved in the elaboration and revision of health care standards — about the importance of providing isolation rooms in these units. The research, qualitative and exploratory, is based on literature review, which includes the analysis of international standards, and also on the compilation of semi-structured interviews with architects. For the interviewees, Architecture in the form of physical barriers is a relevant component that helps the prevention and containment of communicable diseases and the importance of the presence of isolation room in Emergency Departments was demonstrated. The study also allowed to discover obstacles faced by architects in the design of the isolation room, as well as design aspects not provided in Brazilian standards, but which may support the planning of these environments. Keywords: Hospital architecture, Infection control, Urgency and emergency departments. O quarto de isolamento faz parte de um conjunto de estratégias adotadas no controle e na prevenção das infecções no ambiente hospitalar. Aliado às técnicas hospitalares, ele ajuda a conter as doenças transmissíveis, proteger pacientes, acompanhantes e a equipe de saúde (ES). Todavia, ele não é obrigatório em Unidades de Urgência e Emergência (UUEs), segundo a normativa vigente. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a visão dos arquitetos da área hospitalar — classe profissional envolvida na elaboração e revisão de normas para ambientes de saúde — sobre a importância de prever quartos de isolamento nessa unidade. A pesquisa, de caráter qualitativo e exploratório, se fundamenta em revisão de literatura, que inclui a análise de normas internacionais, e também na compilação de entrevistas semiestruturadas feitas aos arquitetos. Para os entrevistados, a Arquitetura na forma das barreiras físicas é um componente relevante que auxilia na prevenção e contenção das doenças transmissíveis, e demonstrou-se a importância da presença do quarto de isolamento em UUEs. O estudo também permitiu descobrir obstáculos enfrentados pelos arquitetos na concepção do quarto de isolamento, bem como aspectos de projeto não previstos nas normas brasileiras, mas que podem dar suporte ao planejamento desses ambientes.
