Biosecurity and Quality in Pre-analysis in the Pathological Anatomy Laboratory

Introduction

In this course the pre-analytical processes of the Pathological Anatomy laboratory will be dealt with, but from the point of view of biosafety and chemical risk safety, control of the processes and their quality management. It is basic in every laboratory process to have control of the pre-analytical conditions of grinding, processing and microtomy, which are no longer dark points to pass to be the center of attention, as critical steps for quality in staining technique, subsequent nucleic acid extraction and for unequivocal diagnoses.

We will pay attention to these processes during this course, to work with the highest quality from the extraction of the sample from the human body. Likewise, we dedicate a whole chapter to talking about autopsies, since, carried out with quality, they provide a quantity of data of maximum interest to learn and transfer to diagnoses of subsequent tumor conditions. We have to delve into the different types and the accompanying legislation. In all these processes mentioned, health professionals are exposed to two types of risks: chemical and biological risk.

The chemical risk seems quite assumed, but in this course we are going to delve into how we should minimize our exposure to it, which must be our daily exercise to all hours.

The biological risk has been aggravated by the health alert that we just left without the agent having been eradicated.

For this reason, we must assume that our biological samples are potential containers for infectious agents, and we must learn how we must act from now on to be protected against them.

All the teaching team hope that you like the course, but above all that you can extract all the information that is beneficial to you to improve control, quality and protection against the risks involved. the application of pre-analytical processes in the Pathological Anatomy laboratory.
