The term sterilization in the language carries two different meanings. Some may use it to refer to birth control or refer to the removal of germs. Many also confuse sterilization and disinfection. Disinfection means inhibiting or stopping the growth of germs and microbes, and may mean killing them but not getting rid of them. It is the process of removing or killing aspects of life, including bacteria and viruses on the surface, whether in medicines or liquids. Sterilization can be obtained through a combination of methods such as heating chemicals, radiation, high pressure and filtration. Or destroy some microorganisms that are not alive, but their presence can cause serious damage, such as cerebral fibrillation.
The term refers to the process of disposing of or killing all forms of life and other organic matter (such as prions and viruses that are not organisms or biological pathogens), such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, prions, spores and monoclonal nuclei (Plasmodium) in a specific place such as surface, volume of liquid or medicine or in compounds such as biological media. Different substances can be sterilized in one or more of the following methods: heat, chemicals, high pressure or filtration. Sterilization is different from disinfection, patching and pasteurization, because sterilization kills, disrupts or disposes of all life forms and other biological factors.
Dear Dr. Mukoro,
Your question points out to an important requirement in surgery. Unfortunately, every invasive procedure carries out surgical risk and many medicolegal restrictions apply.
One has to carry the surgical and diagnostical risks of a trainee in many educational settings, and this is never low cost.
The reverse may be more acceptable sometimes, to carry some instructors surgical risks and diagnostic risks to have them train your students in their own environment.
Best regards.
Have a look on it..
