Abstract

Medical waste is all waste generated by healthcare institutions related to the performance of medical-technical actions in the field of diagnostics, therapy, or research activities. The adequate disposal of medical waste is an issue for virtually all Southeastern European countries primarily because these countries lack the necessary capacities for removing medical waste. The paper aims to review the results and experiences of treating medical waste, as well as the potential risks to patients and medical and non-medical personnel. Implementing a safe medical waste management system could significantly improve the quality of healthcare services and the health of patients, and preserve the environment. The use of steam sterilization has been suggested to reduce the content of biological agents in the waste to an acceptable level by thermal treatment, that is, to achieve biological inactivation.

改进医疗废物贮存程序
医疗废物是卫生保健机构在诊断、治疗或研究活动领域进行医疗技术行动时产生的所有废物。医疗废物的适当处置是几乎所有东南欧国家面临的一个问题,主要是因为这些国家缺乏清除医疗废物的必要能力。本文旨在综述医疗废物处理的成果和经验,以及对患者、医疗人员和非医疗人员的潜在风险。实施安全的医疗废物管理系统可以显著提高医疗服务质量和患者健康,并保护环境。有人建议使用蒸汽灭菌,通过热处理将废物中生物制剂的含量降低到可接受的水平,即实现生物灭活。
