Abstract

Objective: The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of 70% alcohol and quaternary ammonia, with and without the use of the horizontal surface disinfection technique established in nursing practice. Method: This study presented an analytical design of experimental intervention. The field of study was the testing room of a laboratory accredited by the REBLAS/ANVISA Network. Results: The substances used as disinfectants in this work were effective in reducing the growth of the microorganisms studied, however, the fifth generation ammonia quaternary had very significant results and far beyond what was expected. Conclusion: It is possible to conclude that the fifth-generation ammonia quaternary is much higher than 70% alcohol, with no need, during its use, to apply the horizontal surface disinfection technique established in Nursing, constituting a break in paradigm given the effectiveness of this product.
