PEREZ HERNANDEZ, Yanixa et al. The electromedicine technologist’s training in management of medical equipment maintenance. Educ Med Super [online]. 2021, vol.35, n.1  Epub 01-Abr-2021. ISSN 1561-2902.

Preventive maintenance in hospital institutions is carried out to minimize corrective actions. This brings about a decrease in expenses, a reduction of risks and an increase in the technical availability of medical equipment, with a reduction in the times that services stop, which results in the excellence of the medical services provided. In the field of medical technologies, great advances occur every day, the reason why pieces of equipment are more sophisticated and expensive. This article aims to expose the importance of the unavoidable training of electromedicine personnel in the activity of maintenance management for medical equipment, based on the needs offered by the interpretation of its stock. Basic guidelines are provided about the permanent and continuous training of the electromedicine technologist in maintenance of medical equipment, while it is demonstrated how useful an equipment stock is to manage the training of human resources, which responds to the work developed after consultation, analysis-synthesis and systematization from multiple bibliographic sources printed and inserted on the databases of Medline, Scielo, Redalyc and Google Scholar. Of these sources, the material of 62 was reviewed and, finally, 24 articles were selected. It was concluded that training on this subject is essential for maintenance tasks, which truly constitute effective tools, benefiting not only the institution that provides health services, but also the patient and the medical personnel.
