What's the right way to disinfect your hands?
Hygienic hand disinfection is intended to prevent you from passing on infectious or pathogenic agents with your hands when you come into direct contact with patients during treatment or care. Two types of disinfection are important here: before and after contact. The first type of disinfection is to protect patients; the second type helps prevent you from contracting a pathogen from the patients you treat.The 5 indications:
- Before contact with patients.
- Before sterile activities.
- After contact with material that could be infectious.
- After contact with patients.
- After contact with the patient's surroundings.
Surgical hand disinfection – How should you proceed?
Before operations or surgical procedures, the people performing the operations and all persons working in the sterilised area must disinfect their hands before surgery with an alcohol-based disinfectant solution or special hand wash. They should operate the disinfectant dispenser with their elbow, then thoroughly spread the disinfectant onto their hands and forearms. Depending on the manufacturer's instructions, the disinfectant will need three to five minutes to take effect.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 area covered by the glove and completely disinfect the hand area (fingers, palms and wrists).
- In the third minute: In the final phase, special attention should be paid to disinfecting the fingertips, nail folds and interdigital spaces.
Incidentally: You should keep your fingernails trimmed and always disinfect the nails and the nail fold with a sterile nail brush before the first procedure of the day. However, the approach of scrubbing your skin with a brush is now no longer recommended because of potential micro-tears to the skin.
