We assessed cutaneous ethanol (ETOH) and isopropanol (ISOP) absorption after intensive (30 times per h) use of alcohol-based hand-rub solutions by healthcare workers (HCWs). ETOH was detectable in the breath of 6/20 HCWs (0.001 to 0.0025%) at 1 to 2 min postexposure and in the serum of 2/20 HCWs at 5 to 7 min postexposure. Serum ISOP levels were unrecordable at all time points.
Conclusion The compliance with hand hygiene technique requires more focus and training: the thumb and the fingertips are frequently not adequately in contact with alcohol. Several techniques have been proposed, but basic training should ensure that the fingertips and the thumb are not missed during the alcoholic rub-in. Disclosure of interest A.

Methods Four-month HA-ARO rates, the volume of alcohol hand rub and soap used, and the number of gowns and gloves used, were collected at baseline and then for 12 months prospectively. Social network mapping was conducted at the project start and end. Qualitative staff interviews were conducted at the project end. The percent change from baseline in quarterly HA-ARO rates were measured from Sep...
BACKGROUND Variable exposure to causative agents of acute respiratory (RTI) or gastrointestinal tract infections (GTI) is a significant confounding factor in the analysis of the efficacy of interventions concerning these infections. We had an exceptional opportunity to reanalyze a previously published dataset from a trial assessing the effect of enhanced hand hygiene on the occurrence of RTI or...
Methods In 2006, hand hygiene (HH) was piloted in 4 hospitals that included intervention and control wards. The promotion program included education, placement of Alcohol Hand Rub (AHR) at point of care and posters. In 2009, the program was extended to 74 out patient clinics, 14 Tradition Chinese Medicine clinics and 8 long-term Care Facilities. In 2008, “clean care is safer care” was implement...
BACKGROUND Hand hygiene is considered as an important means of infection control. We explored whether guided hand hygiene together with transmission-limiting behaviour reduces infection episodes and lost days of work in a common work environment in an open cluster-randomized 3-arm intervention trial. METHODS A total of 21 clusters (683 persons) were randomized to implement hand hygiene with s...
