Abstract
Objective. Analysis of «emergency» situations among medical workers in the Omsk region for 12 years to identify the risks of occupational HIV infection.
Materials and methods. To collect data on «emergency» situations registered in the Omsk region in the period from 2001 to 2022, we used medical documentation provided by the regional AIDS center.
Results. 566 «emergency» cases were registered in 12 years among medical workers in medical institutions. The highest risk of HIV infection was observed among nurses (60.6%), followed by doctors and paramedical personnel. The most common injuries to the skin of medical personnel were caused by puncture, cut, scratching with piercing and cutting objects, which contained mainly the blood of patients (78.3%). In 11.0% of cases, blood got into the mucous membrane of the eyes, both among doctors and among nurses.
Conclusion. There is a high level of incidental exposure to blood and body fluids in daily routine medical activities.
