The objective of this descriptive study was to identify the physical, chemical and biological controls of the sterilization process by saturated steam in Pasteur autoclaves at Material and Sterilization Centers (MSC). The data was obtained by interviewing the worker responsible for the MSC of the largest hospital in every city in the interior of Goiás that had population of at least 20,000, in the period from August 2005 to June 2006. A total 44 municipalities participated. The analysis was performed using SPSS software. In 31 (94.0%) hospitals there were no nurses exclusive to the MSC, the workers responsible for the center were nursing aides and technicians. Most did not perform any physical, chemical and biological control of the sterilization process, and, in one case only these controls were performed simultaneously. Failing to monitor the sterilization cycles, and thus not ensuring the quality of the processes, is a risk to the population being assisted.
这项描述性研究的目的是确定戈亚斯州内陆每个至少有2万人口的城市中最大医院的材料与消毒中心（MSC）里，巴氏灭菌器通过饱和蒸汽进行灭菌过程的物理、化学和生物控制情况。数据是通过在2005年8月至2006年6月期间，采访戈亚斯州内陆每个至少有2万人口的城市中最大医院的MSC负责人而获得的。共有44个市参与。分析使用SPSS软件进行。在31家（94.0%）医院中，没有专门负责MSC的护士，负责该中心的工作人员是护理助理和技术人员。大多数医院没有对灭菌过程进行任何物理、化学和生物控制，只有一个案例同时进行了这些控制。不监测灭菌周期，从而无法确保过程质量，对接受治疗的人群来说是一种风险。
