Abstract

Background and Objectives Contamination of hands plays an important role in the development of nasocomial infections, so SURGICAL HAND SCRUB is an important factor in control of infection .This study was performed to comparison two methods of SURGICAL HAND SCRUB and SURGICAL HAND RUB on HANDS’ MICROBIAL BURDEN of surgical team.Materials& Methods: The present clinical trial was performed during year 1999. Subjects were randomly selected from members of surgical team in 4 operation rooms of Qazvin. The subjects were divided into two groups of routine hand scrub and hand rub. From each subject, finger and thumb tip culture were performed on solid medium (Blood agar) and broth medium prior to hand wash. The second sampling were performed similarly after routine hand wash based on traditional surgical scrub with iodine in group 1 and hand rub which washind hands with non antibacterial soap and then SURGICAL HAND RUB with 70% ethanol in 3 minute in group2. The effect of both disinfection procedures on microbial burden of hands were then compared. The data were analyzed using Chi square, MC Nemar and pierson statistical tests.Results: Statistical analysis showed the significant differences between the amount of grown fingertips colonies before and after in both methods (P=0.00). However we found no significant statistical difference (p=0.53) between the microbial hand counts following the use of either disinfection procedures and both disinfections were effective in reducing microbial hand counts.Conclusions: The findings of this study support the proposition that a SURGICAL HAND RUB protocol with alcohol is as effective and can replace the traditional SURGICAL HAND SCRUB; Information about hand hygiene and increased availability of alcohol-based hand rub led to improved hand hygiene at all levels of staff.
