Potential Nosocomial Infection Prevention Via Modification of Anesthesia Intraoperative Aseptic Practice

Nosocomial Infections Clinical Trial

Official title:
Before and After Study Evaluating Deployment of the Sprixx GJ Personal Hand Hygiene Device in the Intra-Operative Environment

Clinical Trial Summary

We hypothesized that by improving hand hygiene compliance in the operative environment, we would reduce horizontal transmission of pathogenic bacteria to surgical patients.

Clinical Trial Description

We performed an observational study evaluating provider adherence to these techniques. We then sought to increase hand hygiene compliance through the use of a point of care alcohol based hand hygiene device. We hypothesized that increased hand hygiene compliance would reduce bacterial contamination of the anesthesia workspace and peripheral intravenous tubing, and ultimately reducing overall morbidity and mortality secondary to a reduction in nosocomial infection rates. ;
