Operating Room Sterilization
Operating room sterilization refers to the process of eliminating all microorganisms from surgical instruments, equipment, and the environment within an operating room to prevent the spread of infections during surgical procedures. This involves using various techniques such as steam sterilization, chemical sterilization, and disinfection to ensure a sterile environment for surgical teams to work in. Proper sterilization is crucial in maintaining patient safety and reducing the risk of post-operative complications.
