It provides guidelines on proper handwashing technique and emphasizes that hand hygiene is the most important way to prevent the spread of germs in healthcare settings and prevent hospital-acquired infections.
Surgical scrubbing
Surgical scrubbing is a process used to reduce bacteria on the hands and forearms prior to surgery. It involves using a scrub brush and antiseptic soap to remove dirt and decrease the number of microbes. The objectives are to remove soil, reduce resident microbial counts, and prevent rapid regrowth of bacteria. Proper scrubbing includes removing jewelry and trimming nails short. Two common scrub methods are the timed anatomical scrub and counted strokes method, lasting 5 minutes. The pre-scrub involves washing with soap and water followed by cleaning under nails prior to in-depth scrubbing and rinsing from fingertips to elbows. An ideal antiseptic agent is broad spectrum, persistent, non-irritating, and safe
Scrubbing and Gowning
Surgical scrubbing and gowning is done to reduce bacteria on hands and forearms to a safe level before surgery. The document outlines the scrubbing process which involves removing jewelry, trimming nails, and washing hands and forearms with antimicrobial soap.

The ideal surgical scrub reduces bacteria, has persistent effects under gloves, and is non-irritating to skin.
Hand wash.ppt
Handwashing and hand hygiene are the most effective ways to reduce transmission of infectious diseases. Proper handwashing technique involves wetting hands, applying soap, rubbing hands together for 30 seconds, rinsing thoroughly, and drying completely. Alcohol-based hand rub is also effective and more convenient, but soap and water should be used when hands are visibly soiled. Hospitals conduct regular audits of staff hand hygiene practices to monitor compliance with WHO guidelines of washing hands before and after contact with patients and in other high risk situations.
Personnel hygiene and grooming
This document provides guidelines on proper hand washing, glove wearing, and personnel hygiene for food workers. It recommends washing hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds before and after various tasks. Food workers should wear gloves when handling ready-to-eat foods and change gloves if torn or soiled. Proper grooming like daily showers, clean uniforms and nails, and modest jewelry is emphasized.
Hand hygiene
Hand hygiene is important to prevent the transmission of microorganisms between hands and surfaces. Proper handwashing significantly reduces the bacterial flora on skin and protects oneself and others. Hands should be washed before and after preparing food, eating, caring for someone sick, treating wounds, using the toilet, changing diapers, and after household chores. Jewelry and long or chipped nails can harbor more bacteria. Global Handwashing Day is celebrated annually on October 15th to promote the simple act of handwashing with soap which can reduce disease rates and save lives worldwide.
Personal hygiene
The document discusses the importance of personal hygiene. It defines hygiene as practices that help maintain health, including cleanliness and grooming. Proper hygiene includes regularly washing hands, bathing, cleaning teeth and nails, washing hair and clothes, and avoiding illness transmission. Key hygiene practices are washing hands thoroughly with soap and water, including under fingernails, before eating and after using the bathroom or touching animals. Maintaining hygiene helps prevent spread of disease.
Door county memorial hand washing made easy.ppt 2012
The document discusses guidelines for proper hand hygiene for healthcare providers. It recommends a comprehensive approach using soap and water along with alcohol-based hand rubs. Healthcare providers should wash their hands before and after patient contact, before aseptic procedures, and after potential exposure to bodily fluids. Artificial nails can harbor more pathogens and make handwashing less effective. A blended approach of traditional handwashing and alcohol-based products is suggested. Hand hygiene is important even when gloves are worn to prevent the spread of microbes.
Physical methods of disinfection
This document discusses various physical methods of disinfection, including cleaning, sunlight, desiccation, heat, filtration, and radiation. Cleaning is the most widely used and inexpensive method, using detergents to remove microbes from surfaces through emulsification. Heat can also be used for disinfection through boiling, pasteurization, or vaccine/serum baths. Other methods like sunlight, desiccation, and radiation work by damaging microbial cells and inhibiting replication through UV absorption or drying. Filtration methods like HEPA filters provide sterile air through particulate removal.
