摘要

Abstract

This study reviews the current monitoring status of autoclave sterilization and sterilization efficacy as well as carbon emission characteristics in hospitals both in China and abroad. It proposes strategies for improving monitoring effectiveness and addressing carbon emissions in autoclave sterilization. Therefore

peers can attach importance to the issue of carbon emissions in autoclave sterilization and effectiveness monitoring so as to improve the development quality

fulfill the concept of green development

and thus achieve goals of carbon peak and carbon neutrality.
