Training the Nursing Team That Works in the Processing of Robotic Materials: An Indirect Care But No Less Important

Description

The operating room is a highly complex sector that has undergone significant technological advances. As part of these technological frontiers, robotic procedures aim to improve patient care, but require specialist training, skill, and involvement of all actors who provide care to surgical patients, whether direct or indirect, such as in the safe processing of materials used in the operating room. The importance of implementation programs in partnership with health institutions and companies that supply robotic systems, including the training of the team that works in the central sterile services department (CSSD) is a sinequanon condition to maintain the patient's safety. This work aims to describe the implementation and specific training program for the CSSD of a private hospital in São Paulo-Brazil. The justification is based on the provision of effective care, taking into account the characteristics of robotic instruments and the complex and challenging design for processing, since they are articulated instruments, with electrical heat and have limited reprocessing lives. It is emphasized that the implementation, qualification, and training should be based on the supplier's instructions for use of a robotic system, national and international guidelines, and standard operating protocols of the CSSD linked to the learning of the collaborators.
