Infections associated with the provision of medical care (ISMP) are a global problem, and on average about 9% of hospital patients suffer from the development and severe course of infectious complications. Aseptic and antiseptic measures, rigor to the approach of their implementation, as well as thorough decontamination treatment of materials and medical devices is an effective and working approach to minimizing the risk of intrahospital infections.

THE PURPOSE

Of the study is to carry out an analytical assessment of the qualitative characteristics and to identify the advantages of the process of processing materials and medical instruments using carbon dioxide in a supercritical and sub-supercritical state in comparison with other regulated sterilization methods.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

In the meta-analysis of 867 publications, 44 publications were identified, which are presented and analyzed in this literature review.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The advantages and disadvantages of regulated modern sterilization technologies, including autoclaving and its analogues, the use of peroxide plasma, gamma rays and supercritical/sub-supercritical states of carbon monoxide, have been evaluated. In an overwhelming number of studies in our country and abroad, documented the fact that there are serious shortcomings, and in some cases, non-fulfillment of disinfection and sterilization measures.

CONCLUSION

The use of carbon dioxide in supercritical/sub-supercritical states is a promising method that ensures high reliability of sterilization and safety of processing objects
