I am a qualified Operating Theatre nurse who currently specialises in the CSSD of a private hospital. I am in the process of publishing my next book: CSSD Technicians: Know your Instruments. In this book I explain what a few basic instruments are used for during an operation and what to check for in CSSD to ensure its functionality. All instruments in a set must be functional for surgery to continue without interruption.
I have also started writing my next book: Managing a CSSD: My Personal Experience. In this book I want to give guidance to the inexperienced manager/supervisor and give tips that assisted me over the past 10 years.
Hard copies of my books are available on Amazon.com and Takealot.com
The CSSD Supervisor/Manager must always have a procedure in place to prevent time wasted in the operating theatre during the operation because a specific instrument is not in a set or an instrument is not functional. Refer to Handbook for CSSD Technicians: Understanding the Basics.
This usually entails the circulating nurse leaving the theatre to find a single packed instrument or opening another set to obtain a "missing" or non-functional instrument so that the surgery can continue.
If the latter occurs, more work is created for the CSSD staff because this additional (unnecessary) set must again be processed. This is usually because the CSSD technician does not know that a specific set cannot be packed without a specific instrument, or that an instrument is broken and/or faulty.
That is why this book was written… to assist the CSSD technician in making informed decisions and to ensure patient safety at all times
