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
In this second edition, the Handbook for CSSD Technicians: Understanding the Basics offers new or inexperienced CSSD (Central Sterilising Services Department) technicians basic information on what is expected in their line of work.
Building on the foundation provided in the first edition, this book covers relevant terminologies, including Ethos Explained and surgical procedures (e.g. What is robotic surgery?). It explains the differences between and importance of chemical indicators (CI) and biological indicators (BI), and their role in quality assurance (QA).
It is the author's hope that the new technician will learn more from this book. After all, it's easier to enjoy your work if you understand why, you are doing it.
