Abstract:

Surgical site infection (SSI) is the infection which affects the surgical incision site or deep tissues of the body and revealed within 30 days after surgery or within 1 year if implants are left inside body for treatment purpose [1]. The prevalence of SSI is 2.5%–41% globally but expected to be significantly higher in low-middle income countries where hospitals are often less equipped [2]. SSI is the leading cause of healthcare-associated infections which not only prolonged the hospital stay of admitted patients but also increase the treatment charges and may result in higher morbidity and mo

Abstract:

Surgical gowning and gloving is an essential element of perioperative practice and is undertaken by the members of the anaesthetic and surgical teams involved in a perioperative intervention or procedure. Gowning and gloving will take place immediately after surgical hand antisepsis and the whole process is often referred to as scrubbing, gowning and gloving. Surgical hand antisepsis is defined as ‘an extension of hand washing’ (AfPP 2007), and ‘the antiseptic surgical scrub or antiseptic hand rubs performed before donning sterile attire preoperatively’” (AORN 2008).

Despite the advantages of surgical handrub in terms of the ease of application and effectiveness, chlorhexidine (CHG)-based hand scrubbing remains the preferred method for surgical hand preparation. However, it does not systematically meet the non-inferiority requirement of the European norm (EN) 12791 with respect to n-propanol (the reference product) and does not provide the sustained efficacy expected for these long-lasting agents. Commercially available alcohol-based products have also failed to demonstrate sustained efficacy according to EN 12791. Multi-step protocols enhance the efficacy

Hand washing and hand hygiene are very important things to remember in the hospital practice as well as daily life. Hand hygiene can be performed by soap or hand sanitizer. Hand hygiene can lead to drastic reduction in transmission of infections and also drug resistant bugs, and is thus also a good way to combat AMR or antimicrobial resistance in the community as well as in hospital setting. Hand hygiene can be maintained by hand washing or hand scrubbing, and both these things are important, depending on the hospital setting. Hand wash can be social, surgical and antiseptic.

Modern day surgery is a highly sophisticated procedure incorporating both invasive and non-invasive techniques that are performed in the operation theatres. But we cannot ignore the fact that the infections are often acquired in hospital are surgical sites. The infection may transfer from patient to staff, staff to patients or patient to patient. Hence the aim of infection control practice is reducing the risk of infection from the surgical site. These practices include surgical scrubbing, disinfection of operating rooms, equipment and sterilization of instruments. Hand washing is done before

Abstract:

A new antiseptic solution based on ethanol and n-propanol (B. Braun® Softalind Pure) is available on the market, which ensures safe surgical antisepsis in a short period of time and without the need for scrubbing. However, it has not yet been evaluated in comparison with sterile brushes containing 2% chlorhexidine gluconate. The aim of this study was to microbiologically evaluate the hydroalcoholic solution and antiseptic brushes with 2% chlorhexidine gluconate as a technological alternative for the asepsis of the hands and forearms of veterinary surgeons. Twenty-four individuals from the fiel

Abstract:

Abstract Aim Surgical scrubbing is an essential part of surgery, yet it still generates substantial waste. Reducing water waste in scrubbing is important for environmental impact. Our study focuses on assessing the amount of water used during a surgical hand scrub and to determine the percentage of water actively used during the procedure. Method Surgical scrubbing was observed in one operating theatre and included healthcare practitioners who routinely performed surgical scrubbing. Participants were not informed of the study to avoid altering their behaviour. The mean flow rate of water was d

Abstract:

Objective: Hands play a significant role in organism transmission. Poor hand hygiene practices in health care settings lead to nosocomial infection. Aseptic practice is the cornerstone of current surgery, thus rigid adherence to prescribed sterile techniques in the operating room is essential.The objective of this study was to evaluate nurses’ competencies regarding surgical hand scrubbing. Material and Methods: Cross sectional observational design was used. The study was conducted in operating rooms in a tertiary care hospital, Lahore, Pakistan.This setting contains total seven operatin

Abstract:

Abstract Triclosan 0.5% by scrubbing does not meet the UNE-EN12791 criteria to be used in the surgical hand preparation (SHP). Triclosan 0.5% by scrubbing followed by ethanol 70% hand rubbing is suitable without the additional characteristic of sustained effect. This limited effectiveness implies that triclosan should be avoided in SHP given the restrictions on its use in consumer antiseptic products. The trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (ID: NCT04538365).

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the content, reliability, and quality of YouTube videos on surgical hand scrubbing. Two hundred videos in English were identified and screened according to the inclusion criteria. The evaluation of the sample of 72 videos was guided by content, reliability, and quality tools. Videos with at least one source in the description had significantly greater reliability scores than those without (t = 3.871, P < .001). There were no significant differences between the content scores and the general traits of the videos (eg, advertisements, subtitles

Abstract Aims This study aims to measure the estimated carbon emissions that could be saved if alcohol-based hand rubs (ABHRs), which have been shown to be as effective at antisepsis as antimicrobial soap and hot water (1), are used to scrub for all operations at a UK teaching hospital over 1 year. Methods The number of operations performed during October 2021 was obtained via hospital database. Across 25 cases, the volume of water per case was estimated by multiplying the time using water by the volume calculated per second flow. This data was used to calculate an estimate of the total volume

Abstract:

Abstract A crossover trial was conducted to compare hand rub and hand scrub-brush methods for reducing bacterial loads when using propan-1-ol-60% according to European regulations. Both methods significantly reduced the bacterial load immediately after antisepsis, but only the hand rub method achieved significant bacterial load reduction 3 hours after the procedure.
