# Medical Device Sterilization and Disinfection **Type:** Topics **Canonical URL:** https://scholariq.org/topics/medical-device-sterilization-and-disinfection/ ## Facts | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Description | This cluster of papers focuses on the risk of infections related to endoscopic procedures, particularly concerning the transmission of multidrug-resistant bacteria, biofilm accumulation, and the effectiveness of disinfection and sterilization methods for endoscopes. It also discusses outbreaks, surveillance testing, and guidelines for reprocessing flexible gastrointestinal endoscopes. | | Domain | Life Sciences | | Field | Immunology and Microbiology | | OpenAlex ID | t12744 | | Works | 98 | ## Topic papers all Showing 15 of 98. - [The Boston bowel preparation scale: a valid and reliable instrument for colonoscopy-oriented research](https://scholariq.org/papers/the-boston-bowel-preparation-scale-a-valid-and-reliable-instrument-for/) - [Incidence Rates of Post-ERCP Complications: A Systematic Survey of Prospective Studies](https://scholariq.org/papers/incidence-rates-of-post-ercp-complications-a-systematic-survey-of-prospective/) - [ERCP-related adverse events: European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) Guideline](https://scholariq.org/papers/ercp-related-adverse-events-european-society-of-gastrointestinal-endoscopy-esge/) - [Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak: what the department of endoscopy should know](https://scholariq.org/papers/coronavirus-covid-19-outbreak-what-the-department-of-endoscopy-should-know/) - [Risk of Perforation After Colonoscopy and Sigmoidoscopy: A Population-Based Study](https://scholariq.org/papers/risk-of-perforation-after-colonoscopy-and-sigmoidoscopy-a-population-based-study/) - [The impact of suboptimal bowel preparation on adenoma miss rates and the factors associated with early repeat colonoscopy](https://scholariq.org/papers/the-impact-of-suboptimal-bowel-preparation-on-adenoma-miss-rates-and-the-factors/) - [Randomized, controlled clinical trial of point-of-care limited ultrasonography assistance of central venous cannulation: The Third Sonography Outcomes Assessment Program (SOAP-3) Trial*](https://scholariq.org/papers/randomized-controlled-clinical-trial-of-point-of-care-limited-ultrasonography/) - [Practice of endoscopy during COVID-19 pandemic: position statements of the Asian Pacific Society for Digestive Endoscopy (APSDE-COVID statements)](https://scholariq.org/papers/practice-of-endoscopy-during-covid-19-pandemic-position-statements-of-the-asian/) - [International multicenter experience with an over-the-scope clipping device for endoscopic management of GI defects (with video)](https://scholariq.org/papers/international-multicenter-experience-with-an-over-the-scope-clipping-device-for/) - [A Predictive Model Identifies Patients Most Likely to Have Inadequate Bowel Preparation for Colonoscopy](https://scholariq.org/papers/a-predictive-model-identifies-patients-most-likely-to-have-inadequate-bowel/) - [Management of venous port systems in oncology: a review of current evidence](https://scholariq.org/papers/management-of-venous-port-systems-in-oncology-a-review-of-current-evidence/) - [Technical Performance of Colonoscopy: The Key Role of Sedation/Analgesia and Other Quality Indicators](https://scholariq.org/papers/technical-performance-of-colonoscopy-the-key-role-of-sedation-analgesia-and/) - [Efficacy of Endoscopic Closure of Acute Perforations of the Gastrointestinal Tract](https://scholariq.org/papers/efficacy-of-endoscopic-closure-of-acute-perforations-of-the-gastrointestinal/) - [Can early precut implementation reduce endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography-related complication risk?
