• PREVENTION
AGENDA :-
BACKGROUND:-
Health Care-associated Infection (HCAI)
 Also referred to as “nosocomial” or “hospital” infection
 “An infection occurring in a patient during the process of care in a hospital or other health-care facility

Historical study:
Semmelweis
More recent studies:
rates lower when
antiseptic handwashing
was performed
5 MOMENTS OF HAND HYGIENE
SELECTION OF HAND HYGIENE AGENTS: FACTORS
TO CONSIDER
EFFICACY
• Efficacy of antiseptic agent
• Acceptance of product by healthcare

• Characteristics of product
• Skin irritation and dryness
• Accessibility of product
