Methods for monitoring the effectiveness of hand hygiene

B.1 Sampling time Sampling before contacting patients and carrying out diagnostic and therapeutic activities.

B.2 Sampling method The examinee puts five fingers together, and uses a cotton swab moistened with a sterile eluent containing a corresponding neutralizing agent to wipe the surface of the fingers of both hands from the heel of the finger to the end of the finger back and forth twice, with an area of about 30cm2 on one hand, and rotates the swab at the same time during the process of wiping; the part of the swab that touches the operator is cut off, and put into a test tube of 10 ml of a sterile eluent containing the corresponding neutralizing agent and send it to be examined in a timely manner. The swab is then sent to the hospital for examination.

B.3 Detection method The sampling tube will be shaken on the mixer for 20 seconds or forcefully vibration 80 times, with a sterile pipette to suck 1.0 ml of the sample to be examined inoculated in the sterilized petri dish, each sample inoculated 2 petri dishes, petri dishes added to the dissolved 45 ℃ ~ 48 ℃ of nutrient agar 15 ml ~ 18 ml, pouring while shaking, wait for the solidification of the agar, set in the 36 ℃ ± 1 ℃ incubator culture for 48 h, count the number of colonies. The number of colonies was counted.

Total number of bacterial colonies:

Total number of bacterial colonies (cfu/cm2)=number of colonies on the plate X number of times of dilution/sampling area (cm2)
