Abstract

V pralnicah se ne moremo izogniti obstoju mikroorganizmov v nečistem delu, saj zaradi izvora tekstilij vstopi v postopek pranja veliko število mikroorganizmov zelo različnega izvora, od fekalnih mikroorganizmov iz posteljnine do okuženih tekstilij iz različnih oddelkov bolnišnic, ki lahko vsebujejo različne vrste patogenih bakterij, gliv in virusov. Ker so uporabniki bolnišničnih tekstilij običajno bolniki s šibkim imunskim sistemom, jih moramo zaščititi pred okužbami iz slabo opranih tekstilij, zato oprane bolnišnične tekstilij ne smejo vsebovati povzročiteljev bolezni. Čeprav je v prvi vrsti pomembno, da ima postopek pranja razkuževalni učinek, je zelo pomembno tudi, da pri nadaljnji obdelavi opranih tekstilij (sortiranje, likanje, zlaganje, pakiranje) ne pride do rekontaminacije opranih tekstilij zaradi neustrezne higiene v čistem delu pralnice. V raziskavi smo v petih pralnicah bolnišničnih tekstilij izvedli sanitarno-mikrobiološko preiskavo opranih tekstilij na različnih kritičnih kontrolnih točkah v čistem delu pralnice in rezultate primerjali s tolerančnimi vrednostmi za bolnišnične tekstilije, ki jih je izdal RAL, nemški inštitut za zagotavljanje kakovosti in izdajanje certifikatov, in temeljijo na predpisihRobert-Koch inštituta. Iz rezultatov je razvidno, da je doseganje primerne stopnje higiene tekstilij v prvi vrsti odvisno od razkuževalnega učinka postopka pranja, kakor tudi od rednih ukrepov čiščenja in razkuževanja vseh površin, prostorov, tehnične opreme itd., ki pridejo v stik z opranimi tekstilijami in rednega izobraževanja osebja o pravilni higieni rok pri vzdrževanju higiene v pralnici.

Secondary title:	Sanitary-microbiological testing of hospital textiles washed in laundries
Secondary abstract:	In the unclean part of laundries it is impossible to avoid microorganisms. Textiles, which come into laundries from different hospital wards, contain a great number of microorganisms of various origins - from fecal microorganisms in bed linen to various types of pathogenic bacteria, fungi and viruses contained in contaminated textiles. Since the users of hospital textiles are usually the patients with weak immunity system, they should be protected against infections from poorly washed textiles, which means that the washed hospital textiles should not contain any pathogenic bacteria or viruses. Although disinfectant effect of the washing process is most important, it is also very important to avoid re-contamination because of poor hygiene in further processes of manipulation (sorting, ironing, folding, packing) in the clean part of a laundry. Sanitary-microbiologic testing of washed textiles was carried out in five laundries at various critical control points in the clean part and the results were compared with the tolerance values for hospital textiles issued by RAL, the German Institute for quality assurance and certification on the basis of prescriptions of the Robert-Koch Institute. The results show that the disinfectant effect of washing process is most important for achieving a suitable degree of textiles hygiene, however, regular cleaning and disinfecting of all surfaces, rooms, technical equipment etc. which come into contact with washed textiles and constant education of staff about proper hygiene of hands are very important as well.
