Be Alert To Cross Infection, Medical Textiles Washing Needs To Be Strengthened.

The shadow of SARS in 2003 P has not completely dispersed. We have to wear masks on the threat of avian flu and PM2.5.

Many people realize that the environment is full of microbes and viruses. Among them, hospitals are highly concentrated in all kinds of bacteria and viruses.

In particular, medical a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > textile > /a > products including sick clothing, work clothes, sheets, towels and other most common items are often contaminated by various secretions of patients, such as sweat, bile, feces and blood, and thus have a large number of pathogenic microorganisms. If washing treatment and management are not in place, it may lead to various cross infection and threaten personal and social safety.

Peking Union Medical College Hospital vice president of the Peking Union Medical College Hospital said: "hospitals have no trifles, and the management of any link is not in place, which may lead to irreparable losses.

Medical textiles exist in all aspects of the medical process in various forms, and are the key media leading to nosocomial infection. It is not only related to the occupational protection of medical staff, but also an important factor affecting the medical safety of patients and their families.

Therefore, the hospital laundry as the main responsibility department of hospital textile washing, its work process standardization and scientization must get the due attention.

By optimizing the layout and washing process, updating equipment, establishing perfect rules and regulations, and strictly controlling the quality of disinfection, we can eliminate the potential safety hazard as far as possible.

medical textiles washing is closely related to the process management of hospital laundry room. Some developed countries have long recognized the importance of medical textiles washing standards. Europe, the United States, Australia and New Zealand have introduced their respective standards, aiming at preventing the microbial contamination of textile washing process in medical industry.

Among these standards, European EN14065 has a benchmark position in the world due to its influence, professionalism and implementation effect. Britain has recently integrated European EN14065 into the specification of national medical textiles washing.

the European EN14065 standard clearly stipulates seven principles for washing medical textiles: setting up the catalogue of microbiological hazards and the catalogue of prevention and control measures; determining the hazard prevention and control point; establishing the target level and permissible limit for each control point; establishing a monitoring and control system for each prevention point; establishing remedial action; establishing a risk analysis and biological pollution control system inspection procedure; and establishing a document management system.

in practice, many principles and requirements in European EN14065 are being practiced more or less in the washing department of China's medical system. However, there is no uniform national standard for China's medical textile washing industry and laundry room process management.

To catch up with the international advanced level, the laundry process management needs to focus on the following aspects.

first, the hospital leadership should recognize the importance of the laundry process management, and attach importance to and manage scientifically all aspects of the collection, pportation, washing and storage of medical textiles.

the main process of laundry process management can be roughly divided into eight parts: collection, sorting, pportation, washing, drying, ironing, return, storage and so on.

In these eight links, we should not only carry out scientific cleaning and disinfection of textiles, but also focus on avoiding cross contamination between dirty textiles and clean textiles.

Taking sorting of dirty textiles as an example, the sorting of textiles in domestic laundry and laundry factories is mostly based on counting. They should be stored separately according to different categories after the use of textiles, and the classification of textiles should be based on the principle of optimizing the laundry process and minimizing the counting work.

< < a href= > http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp > > washing > /a > equipment, at present, the traditional forward and forward washing machine is basically used in China, and the advanced hospitals abroad have been upgraded for the forward washing machine, commonly known as the washing machine.

That is to say, dirty clothing is sent from the front of the washing machine, and the cleaned clothes are removed from the back to avoid cross contamination between contaminated textiles and clean textiles, and also minimize the risk of contamination caused by improper manual operation.

take pport links as an example. We should arrange a unified pport route ahead of time to avoid sterile departments with high requirements such as densely populated areas, operation room, intensive care unit, neonatal room, and avoid overlapping of dirty textiles and clean textiles.

the storage of clean textiles needs strict supervision. We should try to avoid the two pollution caused by long-term storage of clean textiles.

In the use process, we must follow the principle of "first in first out". The clothes we should wash the previous day should be placed on the clothes that are cleaned today, so that the first washing clothes should be used first to prevent the storage time of the clean textiles too long.

experts say: the layout of the laundry should also take into account the separation of the net area and the polluted area. This design is rare in the current Chinese medical institutions.

According to the examples of many large international hospitals, the separation of the clean area and the polluted area can separate the contaminated textiles and the clean textiles from physical barriers, or specify their respective location areas, so as to strictly separate the contaminated areas, clean areas and sterile areas, and the processing of articles should proceed in a sequential manner without retrograde.

Through such isolation concepts and solutions throughout the laundry process management, the risk of cross contamination will be effectively eliminated.

in order to strictly implement the laundry process management, there should be a special management system for checking and implementing the situation, and records should be kept intact, including providing safe and healthy working conditions and acceptable working conditions for employees.

Managers and key staff must undergo specialized laundry skills and technical training, through continuous training and guidance to consolidate these skills, to strengthen the supervision of laundry quality, operation and implementation of the system, regular inspections, so that we can follow the rules, reward and punish clearly.

the vice president of Peking Union Medical College Hospital said: "the standardized process management of laundry is one of the key elements to ensure the safety and health of patients.

At the same time, with the emphasis on saving and emission reduction, through the standardization of < < a href= > http://www.91se91.com/news/index_q.asp > > < /a > cleaning operation process, the energy consumption of hospital laundry can be reduced, labor costs will be saved, excellent medical services will be provided for patients and a happy future for the public will be created.

hospital is a place that endows life with dignity. It is the embodiment and executor of respecting life. Any work in the hospital can not tolerate a little carelessness. A treasure and respect for life and health of medical workers should be reflected in every detail.

When we clamour for a clean and safe environment for patients, medical staff and even the whole society, we must not forget that laundry room process management is the most important part of hospital health and safety.
