Onderwerp: Groet uit Renkum. Terug en weer weg

Hallo ,

 

Het was zoooo goed je gesproken te hebben!

Afgelopen zaterdag veilig en wel hier in Renkum teruggekomen.

Het werd echt nog een hectische tijd. Echter de 5 autoclaven in twee ziekenhuizen zijn in gebruik en kon nog de training verzorgen.

Morgen alweer vertrek naar Japan. Presentaties (sterilisatie) in 4 steden. Ook dit wordt nog een hectische tijd.

Op 7 augustus hoop ik veilig en wel weer thuis te komen.

Dan wordt het echt hoog tijd je weer te ontmoeten! Oh man, heb onze ontmoetingen gemist!

Heel veel succes met de verhuizing; met de nieuwe komende tijd!

Groet ook aan Carien,

Allerbeste wensen hier uit Renkum,

Liefs,

Jan

Liefste Yokosan, Mariko, Junko,

Ben weer aan de slag gegaan. De KSG draait nu. Wel nog een kleine waterlekkage. Echter geen tijd meer om dat nog uit te zoeken.

We hadden zojuist een meeting met het management. Er is een nieuwe  broeder, die uiteindelijk het roer hier gaat overnemen. Peter uit Sierra Leone. Veel rustiger dan Br. Ben. Minder hectisch. Denk dat ik met hem beter kan werken. Het ging erom dat nu de cursus echt op maandag gaat beginnen. Nu moeten de voorbereidingen toch echt gedaan worden. Het moet zondagavond allemaal op orde zijn. Daarna is er geen tijd meer om dingen nog te regelen. Het lijkt er opdat het nu toch kan gaan gebeuren. Voel me beter, maar moet voorzichtig blijven. Oververmoeidheid blijft op de loer liggen!

Ik houd jullie op de hoogte,

JeJan

推薦のことば

このたび、滅菌の基本である高圧蒸気滅菌の原理と仕組みを中心に、初心者の方にも理解していただける教科書ともいえる素晴らしい書物が、高階雅紀先生(大阪大学医学部附属病院材料部部長、病院教授)のご尽力により日本語訳されて刊行されることになりました。「Sterilization of Medical Supplies by Steam(高圧蒸気滅菌による医療器材の滅菌)」です。著者はJan Huijs(ヤン・ハュス氏)で、オランダの王立技術者協会、同滅菌材料協会、滅菌供給業務世界会議の要職を務めているHEART Consultancy(ハート・コンサルタンシー)社の代表です。

我が国においては、日本医療機器学会の認定として第二種滅菌技士が2000年に、第一種滅菌技師が2003年に誕生して以来、滅菌に関する知識や技術水準は飛躍的に進歩を遂げてきましたが、欧米諸国での滅菌に関する技術や考え方を学ぶ機会は十分とは言えません。医師および看護師の教育を担う医育機関での滅菌に関する教育カリキュラムがまだ充実していないからです。

本書を覗いてみると、全体として三部構成となっており、第一部「概論」では、高圧蒸気滅菌に焦点を絞って滅菌工程の理論を詳細に解説しています。第二部の「日常の蒸気滅菌業務」では、器材の洗浄から滅菌、そして搬送・保管などの一連の業務について解説しています。第三部の「滅菌技術者のための項」では、蒸気滅菌器の補修と保守をおこなう技術者を対象として、その業務に関するガイドラインなどを紹介しています。

滅菌業務に係るすべてのスタッフに焦点を当てて大変わかりやすく書かれており、あたかも小説を読んでいるがごとく吸い込まれてしまいます。特に滅菌に関する国際基準であるInternational Organization for Standardization(ISO: 国際標準化機構)の難解な言い回しなどが、とても理解しやすく、図表や絵を示しながら書かれている点は大変感銘を受けました。

滅菌サプライ部門で働くスタッフは、本書により普段疑問に思っている事や、誤解している事などが明らかとなり、理解した上で業務に関わることができるようになります。これは、滅菌技術の水準を高めるばかりか、医療安全も考慮した日常業務に携わることが可能となり、患者安全に向けて大変意義あることです。

執筆者のJan Huijs氏は、母国のオランダでの活躍のみならず、かねてより中央アフリカ共和国やカメルーン、ナイジェリア、南アフリカ、タンザニアなどアフリカ諸国においても活動しています。医療機器の滅菌に関する訓練や講義などを積極的におこなって、その地域の滅菌に関するレベルの向上に寄与しています。我が国に対しても、2012年開催の第87回日本医療機器学会(札幌)および第13回World Forum for Hospital Sterile Supply 2012(WFHSS: 滅菌供給業務世界会議2012)(大阪)での講演に来日するなど、積極的に活動しています。

本書が、滅菌サプライに関わりのある皆様の日常業務にたいへん役立つものと確信しております。必携の書として活用していただけることを切望いたします。

Sterilization of medical supplies by Steam. 3rd Edition

NL-WiesbadenMHPVerlag20100708BookCoverSEnglishVersionEdition3Sterilization of medical supplies by Steam

3rd Edition 2010. Publisher: MHP-Verlag, Germany

ISBN 978-38-8681-102-1

In a hospital or clinic it is necessary that all equipment and materials used for treating patients are absolutely safe for use: the chance for spreading of diseases should be kept as small as possible. Cleaning, decontamination and sterilization are important methods in this battle against this ever present threat. Especially since the fatal disease AIDS became so powerful and spread world wide, the demand for proper procedures for infection control gained momentum enormously. Diseases such as Hepatitis B, known to be transmitted through contaminated surgical instruments, stimulated the need for stricter guidelines for disinfection and sterilization.

This book focuses on the most common and most safe method used for sterilization in the Central Sterile Service Departments in healthcare institutions: sterilization by pressurised high temperature steam.

A first major step to improvement of sterile supply is the training of all personnel involved (technicians, staff and users). Moreover, in the recently published European standards on sterilization, education is required of everybody involved in sterilization, whether it concerns the manufacturer of the sterilizing equipment or the technician maintaining or using it. This series of books provides a foundation needed to fulfil this requirement. Originally intended to educate technical service personnel in remote health institutions, it has grown into a textbook that can be used by anyone interested in sterilization.

The World Federation for Hospital Sterilization Sciences (WFHSS) is pleased to recommend the book to all their members and all others involved in sterilization practices.

Foreword by the author                                         

Good old days in Ghana: 1985. The HES team at the Mary Theresa Hospital in Dodi Papase where we just did install a major electrical supply network.

Good old days in Ghana: 1985. The HES team at the Mary Theresa Hospital in Dodi Papase where we just did install a major electrical supply network.

It already has been almost 28 years since I left for Ghana, West Africa, as a technician, where I would stay for 7 years. I was responsible for the setting-up of a maintenance service for the hospitals within the healthcare system of the Catholic Church. Initially the work was focussing mainly on the actual repairs and maintenance of equipment in all its variety. In the later years the tasks moved to more organisational work and most of all training. I found out that for most equipment a wide range of training and study material was available. However for sterilization the information I could find was limited to often very brief instructions for use of equipment without further background information. After finishing the contract in Ghana I was asked to start preparing training material for hospital technicians. I thus choose sterilization as one of the first subjects to cover. It was in the early nineties, the time that in the Netherlands the world of sterilization was very much in motion. The Netherlands was in the forefront of the developments in this domain. The Guidelines on Sterilisation and Sterility were just formulated and became the basis for the first European Standards for sterilisation. The trade quickly professionalized.

I came to realize that I severely underestimated my efforts of writing a book on the topic! In order to be better prepared I attended a training with Mr. Machiel Jan Bot of Medithema, who introduced me with great enthusiasm into the world of micro-organisms, infection prevention and sterilization. For gathering information I got in touch with many sterilization-related companies and among others the RIVM: the Institute for Public Health and the Environment of the Netherlands. At that time the late Mr. Jack van Asten was pushing a scientific approach to sterile supply in hospitals throughout The Netherlands and through his department was enforcing improved quality control and validation of sterilization processes. From the information that was slowly but surely gathered, the first English edition was created which was published in 1996 under auspices of the ESH, the predecessor of the current WFHSS. In 2004 the second updated edition was published. During the past years I had the opportunity to present courses on sterile supplies in many countries, especially in Africa. It is a great experience to see the enthusiasm of all those people who want to make a difference in their own field. The book has been a tool to provide the basic information. With this 3rd edition I hope this contribution to improve sterile supply can continue.

Sterilization is a field where many exiting sciences and technologies meet: from microbiology, medicine, to mechanical and electrical engineering. A profession where life and death meet each other; in which life at micro-level is massively offered in order to protect ours. Through this sterilization almost gets a philosophical/ethical character.

This book wants to be an introduction for all those that get in touch with this fascinating field, which offers an essential contribution to the safe treatment of the many patients, who thus put their lives into our hands.
