What is the main aim of infection prevention? • A) To control traffic flow through different zones • B) To prevent and control infections • C) To ensure relative humidity within the recommended range • D) To maintain proper HVAC systems • The central sterile supply officers, service significant role in the prevention of surgical site infection and healthcare associated infection • Understanding the importance of the CSSD officer’s role will have an impact on surgery successful rate, the length of hospital stay or hospital readmission due to infection that may lead to death. • This online module provides the returning science students with an overview of Infection Control and an understanding of “standard precautions” and environmental standards to reduce the transmission of infectious agents • 53. What is the primary role of central sterile supply officers in infection prevention? • Choices • A) Ensuring hand hygiene compliance • B) Controlling traffic flow through different zones • C) Maintaining proper HVAC systems • D) Preventing contamination of dirty, Outline • Introduction • History and advancment of the CSSD • The Role of central sterile supply officers in preventing Infection • Why Infection is a concern in CSSD? • CDC Top HAI Causing Pathogens • The Chain of infection • The basic Principles Of Asepsis • Personal Hygiene and Attire • Managing the Central Sterile Supply Department’ Environment History and the Advancement of the Central Sterile Supply Department • • The concept of CSSD was eveoled during the world war II but it wasn't until 1928 when the American College of Surgeon stablished a Central Sterile Supply Department within their Hospital. This stablishment was well defind by the Nuffield Provincial Hospital Trust in United Kingdom. 1982 American college of surgeon 1955 Cambridge Military Hospital Belfast Nuffield provincial Hospital Trust (UK) CSSD was established in every hospital The development of the Central Sterile Supply wa based in the needs of the hospitals of aseptic technique and properly Reprocessed Medical Devices during the medical procedures. Although that some items are sterile from the source and labeled as single use most of the reusable medial devices must be thoroughly reprocessed as per the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) and the infection Prevention and control Standers Outline • Introduction • History and advancment of the CSSD • The Role of central sterile supply officers in preventing Infection • Why Infection is a concern in CSSD? • CDC Top HAI Causing Pathogens • The Chain of infection • The basic Principles Of Asepsis • Personal Hygiene and Attire • Managing the Central Sterile Supply Department’ Environment The Role of central sterile supply officers in preventing Infection • 1. Process instruments and equipment in accordance to AMMI standers to make them safe for handling and prepare them for a biocidal process. The Role of central sterile supply officers in preventing Infection • 2. Ensuring that sterile supplies maintain sterility and record event related sterility. The Role of central sterile supply officers in preventing Infection • 3. Inspect surgical instruments to ensure safety usage and functionality. • 43. What is the primary role of central sterile supply officers? • Choices • A) Managing hospital finances and budget allocations for medical supplies • B) Providing counseling services to patients recovering from surgeries • C) Coordinating patient discharge processes to minimize infection risks post-treatment The Role of central sterile supply officers in preventing Infection • 4. Keeping detailed records of number of sterilized items, including Autoclave cycle numbers, lot/batch numbers, expiration dates for future tracking of items that has been sterilized, and stored Why Infection is a concern in CSSD? • In 2011, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that approximately one of every 25hospitalization patient, or 722,000 contracted a Hospital Acquired Infection (HAI). Of those approximate of 25,000 patients died during their hospital stay. • Most of theses infection may have been preventable. The plan of the CDC is to decrease 17 percent in select surgical site infections (SSI). Why Infection is a concern in CSSD? • A surgical Site Infection (SSI) is an infection that occurs postoperatively on the surgical wound where they operation was done and according to the CDC three out of 100 surgeries will develop these infections every year. Nosocomial infection (HAI) Patients who become infected by microbes while in hospital are said to have a healthcare-acquired infection (HAI). Staff working in the healthcare environment are also at risk from infection, however, they are healthy, they may be vaccinated against a number of diseases, they wear PPE and they are trained to use Standard Precautions. This protects them and also helps prevent them from being a reservoir of infection or a means of transmission. Nosocomial infection (HAI) -Transmission of pathogens occurring through contact from person to another person is which of the following forms of transmission? Direct -What type of disease transmission refers to the spread of disease through droplets of moisture that contain bacteria or viruses? Airborne transmission
