5 9 Relationship between duration of patient care and bacterial contamination of hands of hospital staff who wore gloves (solid circles and dashed line) and those who did not wear gloves (open circles and solid line) in 417 observations conducted at the University Hospitals of Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland, in Lines represent the average trend in each group, obtained using nonparametric regression (LOWESS) Pittet et al., Arch Intern Med 159, 1999,
6 Relationship between duration of patient care and bacterial contamination of hands of gloveless hospital staff in 287 observations conducted at the University Hospitals of Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland, in 1996 by initial hand-cleansing method: hand washing with unmedicated soap and water or water alone (dotted line), hand antisepsis with hand antiseptic agents (dashed line), or both performed sequentially (solid line). Lines represent the average trend in each group, obtained using nonparametric regression (LOWESS). Pittet et al., Arch Intern Med 159, 1999,
7 Boyce, Pittet: Guideline for hand hygiene in health-care settings: Recommendations of the healthcare infection control practices advisory committee and the HICPAC/SHEA/APIC/IDSA hand hygiene task force. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 23, 2002, suppl, S3-S40 13 Observational studies: On average 5 times hand washing in a shift, partly up to 30 times, singel nurses up to 100 times. Duration of hand washing 7 24 seconds (average), often not washing the complete hand. Boyce, Pittet: Guideline for hand hygiene in health-care settings: Recommendations of the healthcare infection control practices advisory committee and the HICPAC/SHEA/APIC/IDSA hand hygiene task force.

Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 23, 2002, suppl, S3-S40 15 Hygienic hand disinfection reduces transient skin flora significantly more than hand washing. Soaps are worse for skin than alcoholic handrub.

12 Listed. European regulation EN Hand disinfectants in Germany Alcohol: Efficiant against viruses with envelopes (HIV, HBV, HCV, SARS, Influenza, Herpes). Problem: some viruses without envelopes like Norovirus oder HAV. Propanols not enough efficiant. Ethanol efficiant > 90 %, alternativ combinations of different alcohols with ethanol. 23 Boyce, Pittet: Guideline for hand hygiene in health-care settings: Recommendations of the healthcare infection control practices advisory committee and the HICPAC/SHEA/APIC/IDS A hand hygiene task force.

Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 23, 2002, suppl, S3-S40 25 Risk factors for bad compliance Doctor (nurses are better). Badly qualified nurse helpers. Male. ICU. Work during working days (in comparison to weekend). Wearing gowns and gloves. Touchless wash basin. Often need to disinfect hands.

Boyce, Pittet: Guideline for hand hygiene in health-care settings: Recommendations of the healthcare infection control practices advisory committee and the HICPAC/SHEA/APIC/IDSA hand hygiene task force. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 23, 2002, suppl, S3-S40 29 Own reasons of staff for bad compliance Irritation and dryness of skin. Sink has no functional construction. No soap and single-use towels available. Not enough time. Not enough staff. Not possible because of work with patient. Infection risk is small. Not necessary because of gloves. Recommendations never heard about. I forgot. Bad role model of colleague. Reason of hand hygiene not convincing. Denial of recommendations. Not enough knowledge about evidence of hand hygiene. Boyce, Pittet: Guideline for hand hygiene in health-care settings: Recommendations of the healthcare infection control practices advisory committee and the HICPAC/SHEA/APIC/IDSA hand hygiene task force. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 23, 2002, suppl, S3-S

19 - HICPAC, SHEA, APIC, IDSA and others - Possible markers of good compliance: Observational studies (disinfections done / disinfections necessary) problem: observer are known. Amount of disinfectants used (e.g. per patient days). Indirect indicator like wearing of artificial finger nails or rings. Measure real situation of disinfection during outbreaks. Boyce, Pittet: Guideline for hand hygiene in health-care settings: Recommendations of the healthcare infection control practices advisory committee and the HICPAC/SHEA/APIC/IDSA hand hygiene task force.

Outcoume parameters: NI rates, MRSA, amount of hand disinfectants used. Increase of compliance 48 % 66 % (sign.) Decrease of NI rates: 16,9 % 9,9 % (sign.). Decrease of MRSA infections: 2,16 0,93 per patient days. Amount of hand disinfectants used: 3,5 l 15,4 l per patient days.

20 University Clinics Geneva 163 Дrzte Pittet et al: Hand hygiene among physicians: Performance, beliefs, and perceptions. Ann Intern Med 141, 2004, University Clinics Geneva 163 Дrzte Compliance Higher with women. Higher with younger staff. Low at the top of doctors hierarchy. High with internists and pediatricians, low with surgeons and anesthesists. Higher if product is near bed on at clothes. Lower with more indications to disinfect hands.

21 Hand disinfection is extremely cheap in comparison to hospital infections!

25 49 Campaign of NHS since 2004 Issues: Near-patient alcohol hand-rub Talking walls (posters ) Patient empowerment (it s ok to ask) Results until end of 2006: More usage of disinfectants, Decrease of MSSA, MRSA stable (decrease from 2007 on), Clostridium difficile increasing (but decreasing in the last years)
