What's the right way to disinfect your hands?
Hygienic hand disinfection is crucial for two things: patient protection and infection prevention. Disinfecting your hands before and after direct contact with patients, whether in a care setting or during medical treatment, prevents the spread of germs.The 5 indications:
- Before contact with patients.
- Before aseptic activities.
- After touching or having contact with potentially infectious material.
- After treating a patient.
- After having contact with the patient's environment.
Surgical hand disinfection – What steps are involved?
Before operations or invasive procedures, the persons performing the operations and all persons working in the decontaminated area must disinfect their hands before surgery with an alcohol-based disinfectant solution or special hand wash. They will need to pump the disinfectant dispenser with their elbow, then thoroughly apply the disinfectant to their hands and forearms. Depending on the manufacturer's instructions, the application time is between three and five minutes.It is imperative to follow the 'rule of 3' here:
- In the first minute: Spread the solution along the entire length of the skin from the fingertips to the elbow.
- Second minute: Focus on the surface of the glove and properly disinfect the hand area (fingers, palms and wrists).
- Third minute: Apply disinfectant only to the hands themselves, with particular attention to tips of the fingers, nail folds and interdigital spaces.
By the way: You should keep your fingernails trimmed and always disinfect the nails and the nail fold with a germ-free nail brush before the first operation of the day. However, the approach of scrubbing your skin with a brush is now obsolete because of potential skin injuries.
