    About this ebook

    This book is a tool of support for technicians to minimise the risks in theatre. It will prevent costly wastage and loss of revenue due to legal enquiries if procedures are not followed or as a result of lack of knowledge of CSSD technicians.

    In December 2010, a fire completely destroyed the theatre and CSSD department of a private hospital the author worked at. She was asked to get CSSD ready for a COHSASA (Council for Health Services Accreditation of Southern Africa) accreditation inspection which was in 30 days' time. After a month of hard work to get equipment and instrument sets ready as well as put systems and procedures in place, she obtained 100% from this international accreditation body. This was an incredible personal achievement.

    Never doubt what your personal contribution means to your department/organisation and the healthcare industry.

    Joan M Losper

    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
