Decontamination in Hospitals and Healthcare: 62 (Woodhead Publishing Series in Biomaterials)

Decontamination in Hospitals and Healthcare aims to educate patients, scientists, healthcare professionals, and anyone else interested in public health about decontamination procedures and the advancement of technologies for cleaning and infection control. Before examining the function of standards in decontamination, infection control in Europe, and upcoming trends in the field, Part One emphasizes the significance and background of decontamination in hospitals and healthcare facilities. Hospital and healthcare decontamination procedures are the subject of part two. It takes into account the use of gaseous decontamination technologies, the role of the nurse in decontamination, the problems with microbial biofilm in waterlines, and the management of waterborne microorganisms. Subsequent chapters address managing the presence of microorganisms in hospitals, decontaminating prions, wearing protective clothes, and using no-touch automated room disinfection systems. The third section covers the procedures for sanitizing and disinfecting endoscopes and surgical instruments. The choice framework for local policy and procedures for decontaminating surgical instruments, along with innovative technologies for contamination detection and cleaning, are just a few of the guidance documents that are examined in these chapters. For public health professionals and students interested in healthcare, Decontamination in Hospitals and Healthcare offers a reference source on decontamination. Scientists working in microbiology and disinfection/decontamination labs, medical personnel using disinfectants, microbiology students, physicians, members of the Institute of Decontamination Sciences/Central Sterilising Club, and staff members in the Central Sterile Services divisions of healthcare facilities will find it especially helpful.
