Abstract
La ropa hospitalaria puede ser una fuente potencial de patógenos y requiere un apropiado manejo y procesamiento para disminuir el riesgo de transmisión de microorganismos, por lo que su tratamiento merece tener una atención especial. Los lavaderos hospitalarios deben ajustarse a normas que aseguran el buen manejo de la ropa contaminada, constituyéndose en un eslabón muy importante dentro de los servicios. Desde la recolección de la ropa usada hasta su egreso del lavadero perfectamente limpia, se debe tener mucho cuidado en el tratamiento de cada prenda, a fin de cuidar la salud de los pacientes y trabajadores, preservar la integridad de la ropa y finalmente cuidar el gasto que se produce al tener procesos mal ejecutados. El objetivo es conseguir la mayor eficiencia de este sector en coherencia con las normativas vigentes. La finalidad es aportar una mejora en el servicio de salud en un tema poco tratado pero crítico en las instituciones hospitalarias.
Abstract: Hospital clothing can be a potential source of pathogens and requires proper handling and processing to reduce the risk of transmission of microorganisms, so its treatment deserves special attention. Hospital laundries must comply with standards that ensure proper handling of contaminated clothing, constituting a very important link within the services. From the collection of used clothing to its exit from the perfectly clean laundry, great care must be taken in the treatment of each garment, in order to take care of the health of patients and workers, preserve the integrity of the clothing and finally take care of the expense that is produced by having poorly executed processes. The objective is to achieve the greatest efficiency in this sector in coherence with current regulations. The purpose is to provide an improvement in the health service in a subject that is little treated but critical in hospital institutions.
