“…To this end, there is a need for safe sterilization equipment for microorganism elimination, with total control at each stage of this process. 16 For this purpose, the nursing activities adopted in the new CSSD space were distributed in areas such as purge, preparation room, sterilization and distribution of materials. This strategy provided the process and administration of material sterilization.…”

Objective: to analyze the strategies used by nurses for organization and planning in the centralization process of the Central Supply Sterile Department at a General Hospital. Method: this is a qualitative study of the history of the present time, carried out through an interview with 8 nursing professionals, such as nurses and nursing technicians at a hospital in the city of Petrópolis, state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Data collection took place between September 2017 and August 2018. For analysis and interpretation of the documentary corpus, pertinence, sufficiency, completeness, representativeness, homogeneity and organization of documents in chronological order of the events during the investigated period were considered. The historical context was triangulated, with social structures and the symbolic universe resulting from interviews and documentary analysis. Thus, the categories of analysis emerged. Results: the strategies used by nurses occurred through organization and new work practices, enhancement of the Central Supply Sterile Department, hiring new nursing technicians, staff training and insertion of new technologies before, during and after centralization from the Central Supply Sterile Department. Conclusion: material sterilization at Hospital Santa Teresa continued with fractional nursing care among surgical patients and material processing. The strategies to centralize the sterilization unit contributed to a correct sterilization of hospital materials, resulting in expressive gains for nursing, Hospital Santa Teresa, society and control of Infections Related to Health Care.

Over the last 10 years, the most recent innovations in the field of organic chemistry have been significantly driven by both industry needs and environmental concerns. On the former, industrial applications and production processes have evolved to reduce carbon footprint and to reduce the reliance on oil-based organic material precursors. On the latter, increasing concerns around accelerated global warming, have kindled the search for solutions, including lower carbon footprint, recyclability, and upcycling of novel materials. To 2015, the healthcare industry accounted for about 5.7% of the carbon emission with a severe impact in carbon, SO2, Nitrogen and particulate matter. Specifically, what relates to greenhouses, the global contribution accounts to 24 Gton of CO2, which has largely increased due the immense use of disposable devices during the pandemic. Current evidence points towards a substantial interest in the reduction of carbon footprint in the healthcare settings, yet with limited success across the largest health care providers. This study approaches the topic from a literature review and an empirical approach based on previous and ongoing research on the field of additive manufacturing and the use of bio-based materials for medical devices applications, which has been conducted utilizing mechanical, economic and microbiological assessments to address the research question of how to better address the carbon footprint of the healthcare industry, limited to some surgical procedures. This research points towards the direction that the implementation of an on-site solution may help to address some of the sustainability challenges healthcare facilities face while enhancing their circular economy approach. This research is intended to pave the way for further research including specific research to enhance the understanding of the solutions and how these may fit the current regulatory landscape.
