Disinfect your hands the right way! But how?
Hand disinfection is vital for breaking chains of infection and preventing pathogens from being transmitted. That's why it's important to always disinfect your hands carefully – both before and after working with a patient.The 5 indications:
- Before contact with patients.
- Before sterile treatments.
- After contact with potentially infectious material.
- After patient contact.
- After having contact with the patient's direct vicinity.
How should you proceed with surgical hand disinfection?
People who work in medical operating theatres always need to disinfect their hands before all invasive procedures to protect patients from the spread of pathogens. For this reason, a suitable disinfectant or a special hand wash is used. Staff should pump the disinfectant dispenser with their elbow and distribute the disinfectant on their hands and forearms. The application time of the disinfectant depends on the respective manufacturer's instructions and is generally between three and five minutes.For proper surgical hand disinfection, follow the 'rule of 3'.
- First minute: Apply the disinfectant solution up to the elbow to disinfect the hands and forearms.
- Second minute: Focus on the full length of the glove and thoroughly disinfect the hand area (fingers, palms and wrists).
- In the third minute: In the final phase, particular focus is placed on disinfecting the fingertips, nail folds and spaces between the fingers.
By the way: The approach of scrubbing the skin with brushes, which used to be obligatory, has become obsolete because of possible micro-injuries. However, you need to keep your fingernails short and always disinfect them and your nail fold with a soft, clean nail brush before the first procedure of the day.
