How do you disinfect your hands properly?
Hand disinfection is vital for stopping infections from spreading and preventing pathogens from being passed on. That's why it's crucial to always disinfect your hands correctly – both before and after treating a patient.The 5 indications:
- Before having contact with a patient.
- Before aseptic treatments.
- After contact with material that might be infectious.
- After contact with patients.
- After contact with a patient's direct surroundings.
How should you proceed with surgical hand disinfection?
People who work in medical operating theatres must always disinfect their hands before all invasive procedures to protect patients from the spread of pathogens. For this purpose, a suitable disinfectant or a special hand wash is used. Staff should operate the disinfectant dispenser with their elbow and spread the disinfectant on their hands and forearms. The exposure time of the disinfectant depends on the instructions provided by the manufacturer in question and is generally between three and five minutes.It is imperative to proceed according to the 'rule of 3' here:
- First minute: Use the disinfectant to clean hands and forearms up to the elbow.
- Second minute: Focus on the surface of the glove and thoroughly disinfect the hand area (fingers, palms and wrists).
- In the third minute: In the final phase, special attention should be paid to disinfecting the tips of the fingers, nail folds and spaces between the fingers.
By the way: The approach of scrubbing the skin with brushes, which used to be standard practice, has become obsolete because of potential micro-injuries. However, you need to keep your fingernails short and always disinfect them and your nail fold with a soft, germ-free nail brush before the first procedure of the day.
