Hygienic level of hand washing. Hygienic and surgical antisepsis of the skin of the hands of medical personnel Requirements for the processing of the hands of medical personnel

Types of processing according to SanPiN

There are different levels and methods of disinfection (see tab.), but not all experts appreciate these techniques, and are often limited simple rinsing.

Type of processing Purpose of the processing method When to apply
Hygiene treatment of the hands of medical personnel: washing with soap and water
  • Removal of contaminants.
  • Removal of transient microflora.
  • There is visible contamination of the hands.
  • Hands are contaminated with blood or other bodily fluids.
  • Contact with a patient with a confirmed or suspected infection caused by Cl. difficille (causative agent of pseudomembranous colitis).
  • Before eating.
  • After going to the toilet, coughing, sneezing, etc.
Hygienic treatment of hands using an antiseptic
  • Destruction of transient microflora
  • Before and after patient contact.
  • Before and after contact with an invasive device (central or peripheral venous catheter, urinary catheter, breathing circuit, drainage, etc.).
  • After contact with biological fluids.
  • When moving from a contaminated area of ​​the body to an uncontaminated one.
  • After contact with objects from the immediate environment of the patient.
  • Before working with medicines, preparing or distributing food.
  • Before and after using protective gloves.
Surgical treatment of the hands of medical staff The purpose of the surgical treatment of the hands of medical personnel:
  • Removal of contaminants.
  • Destruction of transient microflora.
  • Reducing the number of resident microflora
  • Before carrying out surgical interventions, childbirth, catheterization of the main vessels, etc.
  • Stage 1 - washing hands with soap and water for two minutes, and then drying with a sterile cloth.
  • Stage II - treatment of hands, wrists and forearms with an alcohol-containing antiseptic

HYGIENIC PROCESSING of the hands of medical staff: an algorithm


The goal with this method is to remove any visible contaminants, as well as transient microflora. This is necessary in order to exclude the possibility of transferring such microflora to other health workers and patients.

3 requirements for hygienic hand washing according to SanPin:

  • Before starting, the doctor must remove jewelry and watches - a large number of microbes accumulate under them;
  • The nails of a specialist should be cut short, the presence of varnish on them is undesirable.
  • The sleeves of the medical gown must be tucked up 2/3 so that they do not interfere.

SanPiN requirements suggest thorough lathering. After that, they are washed with running warm water, and the procedure is repeated. This is due to the fact that with a single wash, dirt and harmful microorganisms are removed only from the skin of the hands. When the doctor rinses the soap with warm water, the pores open, allowing the remaining germs to be removed.

RULES OF SANITARY PROCESSING

Processing the hands of medical personnel: an algorithm

The mechanical technology according to this algorithm of actions allows minimizing contamination with various dangerous bacteria and dirt without the use of additional devices. This method is used before / after eating and visiting the toilet, before performing procedures on the patient.

To use this method you will need:

  • a clean cloth to dry the skin;
  • liquid soap, preferably without a sharp perfumed smell. It is important that all processing steps are hygienic, so soap with a closed dispenser is suitable for the procedure.

The technique itself consists of several basic techniques:

  • one palm rubs against the other with smooth movements;
  • in turn, the palm of one hand rubs the hands and the back of the palm of the other;
  • the fingers of one are connected to the interdigital spaces of the other, internal surfaces fingers are processed with up and down movements;
  • the palm is going to the lock, while the bent fingers of one hand rub the palm of the second;
  • rotational friction, which cleans the surfaces of the hands and wrists;
  • in a circular motion, the palm of one hand touches the fingertips of the other, after which they change.

Washing method with soap and water

Washing with soap and water - basic way prevention of the spread of nosocomial infections, which allows you to stop the further transmission of pathogens of dangerous diseases.

When washing, employees often miss brush areas:

  • thumbs;
  • spaces between fingers
  • fingertips, which are most often contaminated with dangerous microorganisms to a greater extent, because most of the actions are performed by them.

At frequent use soap, it is important to follow the basic principles of skin care.

Hand processing algorithm

The processing of the hands of medical personnel is shown in the diagram below.


Hand sanitizing requirements. Hygienic washing technique

The types of processing of the hands of medical personnel, specific technological methods, are determined by the purpose of the forthcoming processing and the types of services, works, and activities to be carried out.

The main technological methods for processing the skin of the hands of personnel and the requirements for the rules for carrying out are established in section 12 of chapter I SanPiN 2.1.3.2630-10 "Sanitary and epidemiological requirements for organizations engaged in medical activities":


  • hygienic washing is carried out for the purpose of mechanical removal, washing away of dirt and transient microflora;
  • hygienic treatment is carried out in order to reduce the number of transient microflora by at least 95% of the original;
  • surgical treatment is carried out in order to destroy the resident and transient microflora up to 100%.

Attention: guidelines for the disinfection of the skin, approved. Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation December 18, 2003 N 11-7 / 16-09, as well as the WHO Guidelines "WHO guidelines for hand hygiene in medical institutions. World Health Organization, 2009", it is recommended to use solid or liquid soap for hygienic washing of the hands of personnel without antimicrobial additives.

Use for liquid soap dispensers or other devices (dispensers) that allow mechanical feeding; for soap bars - small individual packaging, or soap dishes with a magnetic suspension, allowing it to dry between uses. Be guided in the choice of soap by the preferences of medical personnel, including those associated with the incidence of dermatitis and allergic reactions.

The staff is obliged to monitor the condition of their hands (the presence of scratches, cracks, macerations), nails (shortly trimmed to the level with the fingertips and microcracks on the surface), not to use false nails and varnish, remove bracelets, watches, rings before hand treatment.

The technique of hygienic hand washing is carried out before preparing, distributing and eating food; after performing "dirty" procedures (cleaning the premises, changing clothes for the sick, going to the toilet) and any other contamination of the hands.

When washing hands hygienically with soap and water, you should:

  • 1. Moisten hands with warm water ( hot water increases the risk of dermatitis).
  • 2. Lather wet hands with enough soap to cover the entire surface of the hand. Lather with the resulting soap foam water faucet.
  • 3. Wash hands for about 40-60 seconds, alternately wiping the palmar surfaces, the back surfaces of the hands with a change in their position; the inner surfaces of the fingers, interlacing and bending their fingers, thumbs in a circular motion, in the direction forward and backward, and ending with rubbing the palms with the fingertips of the opposite hand in a circular motion.
  • 4. Give Special attention treatment of subungual zones, nails, periungual ridges and interdigital zones.
  • 5. Rinse soap suds thoroughly from hands and faucet, avoiding splashing water, contact with faucet and sink.
  • 6. Dry your hands with a disposable towel (or personal use towel). Use the same towel to close the tap. To prevent the occurrence of contact dermatitis, it is recommended to thoroughly rinse and dry your hands when washing with water and soap, and at the end of the work shift, use softening and moisturizing hand skin care products.

It is not recommended to use electric hand dryers, as it is impossible to permanently remove residues detergent and desquamated epithelium (there is no such important function of the towel as rubbing the skin), as well as due to the inevitable swirl of air containing polluting particles.

Dedicated liquid

9. Record the amount of liquid drunk and injected into the body on the record sheet.

Injected fluid

10. At 6:00 am the next day, the patient submits the registration sheet to the nurse.

The difference between the amount of liquid drunk and the daily amount of the night is the value of the body's water balance.
The nurse must:
- Ensure that the patient can perform a fluid count.
- Ensure that the patient has not taken diuretics for 3 days prior to the study.
- Tell the patient how much fluid should be excreted in the urine normally.
- Explain to the patient the approximate percentage of water in food to facilitate the accounting of the introduced liquid (not only the water content in food is taken into account, but also the parenteral solutions introduced).
- Solid foods can contain 60 to 80% water.
- Not only urine, but also vomit, feces of the patient are subject to accounting for the amount of excreted fluid.
- The nurse calculates the number of entered and withdrawn nights per day.
The percentage of fluid excretion is determined (80% of the normal amount of fluid excretion).
amount of urine excreted x 100

Removal percentage =
amount of fluid injected

Calculate the water balance accounting using the following formula:
multiply the total amount of urine excreted per day by 0.8 (80%) = the amount of night that should normally be excreted.

Compare the amount of excreted fluid with the amount of calculated fluid in the norm.
- The water balance is considered negative if less liquid is released than calculated.
- The water balance is considered positive if more liquid is allocated than calculated.
- Make entries in the water balance sheet and evaluate it.

Result evaluation:

80% - 5-10% - excretion rate (-10-15% - in the hot season; + 10-15%
- in cold weather;
- positive water balance (>90%) indicates the effectiveness of treatment and convergence of edema (reaction to diuretics or unloading diets);
- negative water balance (10%) indicates an increase in edema or an ineffective dose of diuretics.

It is possible to prevent the spread of diseases and germs with the help of such a simple procedure as hand sanitization. Hand sanitizing levels depend on the person's level of exposure to the potential hazard, as well as their professional activities. The rules of such disinfection should be familiar not only to every professional medical worker, but also to a simple layman.

Types of microflora

What is the method of hand treatment? The levels of hand cleaning depend on the tasks and jobs that the healthcare professional performs. Since it is not possible to completely cleanse the skin of pathogenic bacteria, it must be disinfected on an ongoing basis. For general information, it is necessary to give a basic classification of microflora:

It should be noted that on the skin of the hands there are the most problematic areas, which are quite problematic to clean from such contaminants. These include the ridges near the nails and the space under the nails, as well as the spaces between the fingers.

The first methods of processing hands appeared and began to be used in the middle of the 19th century. So, at first, a phenol solution was used for disinfection. Currently, it is customary to practice somewhat different methods.

Classification of skin disinfection methods

So, how exactly is the classification of such a procedure as hand treatment carried out? Hand processing levels are represented by three types of manipulations:

  • Normal processing.
  • Hygienic treatment.
  • Surgical treatment.

Let's analyze the features of each method in a little more detail.

First stage

Ordinary washing is the simplest and most affordable method of cleansing. Its task is to eliminate dirt and a number of bacteria carried from dirty surfaces and infected people. Medical professionals wash their hands before starting work, after receiving a patient, changing clothes, and also after moving to another office or to another place of work. The procedure can be used:


The effectiveness of a simple wash is no more than 70 percent with a double repetition and no more than 40 percent with a single wash. Before the procedure, it is recommended to remove all jewelry and watches, and thoroughly rub the cleanser into the skin, then rinse completely and repeat the manipulations. The soap used should not contain additional flavors or dyes, it should be neutral.

Second step

Hand sanitizing of medical staff is often carried out hygienic method. It is carried out, as a rule, in the following cases:


Such hygienic treatment involves two stages. At the first stage, a classic hand washing is carried out, at the second, disinfection is added with an alcohol-containing antiseptic.

Hygienic or medical treatment hands can be carried out using the following types of antiseptics:

  • Bactericidal soap (in liquid form).
  • Alcoholic solutions designed specifically for the treatment of the skin.
  • bactericidal gel.

An alcohol-free product is applied to wet skin in an average amount of 3 to 5 milliliters. Alcohol-based products are used on dry skin, they need to be rubbed for about 15-20 seconds. It is allowed to add a small amount of glycerin or lanolin to the antiseptic to soften the skin and prevent it from drying out.

Third step

It is the third and most total method of disinfection. Its implementation is relevant for all participants in the surgical intervention. It is carried out according to the following algorithm:

  • Hand washing. It lasts for 2 minutes, after treatment of the skin it is necessary to dry it with a sterile material.
  • The use of an antiseptic. With its help, hands, wrists, and, if necessary, forearms are processed. There are special rules for the amount of its use, as well as the frequency of use.

It should be noted that the surgical treatment of hands can be carried out exclusively with antiseptics containing alcohol. These include the following drugs:

Treatment with significant contamination

Separately, it is necessary to touch on the question of how the hands of the medical staff are processed when the patient's blood gets on them. If the biological fluid has got directly on the skin, it is required to act according to the following algorithm:

  • Remove the resulting contamination with a napkin.
  • Cleanse skin with soap and water.
  • Dry the affected area with a disposable sterile cloth.
  • Twice to carry out the treatment with alcohol antiseptic.

If contamination has got on the surface of the glove, the procedure undergoes certain changes. They are represented by the following diagram:

  • Removal of contamination from the material with a disinfectant wipe.
  • Washing gloved hands with water.
  • Removing gloves.
  • Hand washing with soap, drying.
  • Single use of antiseptic for the treatment of the skin of the hands.

There are also general rules hand treatment. They boil down to the following requirements and recommendations:


Types of drugs

How to choose the right hand sanitizer? When choosing one or another tool, use the following recommendations:


Of course, medical workers have specific documents prescribing how hand treatment should be carried out. Hand sanitizing levels determine the type of disinfectant used. For example, let us dwell in more detail on the means for surgical treatment:

  • Alcohols. The optimal solution is ethyl 70%. Excellent help against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, affect individual viruses and fungi.
  • Solutions based on iodine and alcohol - a wide spectrum of action. They help against bacteria, including causative agents of tuberculosis, spores, viruses, protozoa, and fungi.
  • Iodophors. They help against rotoviruses, herpes, HIV infection, staphylococci and spores.
  • Chlorhexidine. It has a narrower spectrum of action, targets gram-positive bacteria, certain categories of fungi.

Any involves preparation and direct decontamination (removal of contaminants). The hands of a nurse must be well-groomed, without inflammation, burrs and microcracks.

Nails should be neatly trimmed and unvarnished. The skin edge of the nail bed should not be cut due to the risk of microtrauma and inflammation. Artificial nails on the hands of a nurse are unacceptable. Before it startsfor manipulation, wrist watch and jewelry must be removed.

Preparing the nurse's hands for processing

  • We remove watches and jewelry.
  • We examine the hands for inflammation and skin damage.
  • In the presence of wounds, inflammation of the skin, we inform the senior nurse.
  • In the presence of small injuries and local inflammation, we seal the problem areas of the skin with adhesive tape and put on a fingertip.

Machining the hands of a nurse

Normal hand washing is carried out with liquid soap from the dispenser, and in case of its absence, with simple lumps. Manipulation rooms should be equipped with elbow-operated mixers.

After preparing the hands, we moisten them with warm water, lather the palms, the backs of the hands, the interdigital spaces and the nail beds.

Vigorously three hands together:

  1. palm on palm;
  2. right palm on the back of the left hand and vice versa;
  3. we interlock our hands with spread fingers and three inner surfaces of the fingers with up and down movements;
  4. we fold our hand into a fist and with the back of the fingers of one hand we three palm of the other hand (repeat for each hand);
  5. we clench our hand into a fist and embrace the finger of the other hand, three fingers in a circular motion - repeat with each finger on both hands;
  6. three palm of one hand with the fingertips of the other, then change hands.

Each action must last at least 30 seconds. After washing, we dry our hands with a disposable towel or cloth, which is immediately removed from circulation.

Hygienic antiseptic treatment of the hands of a nurse

  1. Preparing hands for processing.
  2. Washing hands with antiseptic soap.
  3. Treatment of hands with water or alcohol antiseptic in accordance with the instructions for use. Drying with a towel after treatment with an antiseptic is NOT ALLOWED.

Surgical treatment of the hands of a nurse

  1. Hand preparation.
  2. Washing with ordinary or antiseptic soap - hands, wrists, forearms. Nails are treated with brushes.
  3. Drying hands with a sterile cloth.
  4. Application of an alcohol solution of a skin antiseptic, rubbing it into the skin until completely dry (water solutions of antiseptics are NOT APPLIED).
  5. Repeated application and rubbing of an alcohol antiseptic, followed by drying WITHOUT DRYING WITH A TOWEL.
  6. Putting on sterile gloves on dry hands.

1. Remove all rings from your hands (depressions on the surface of jewelry are a breeding ground for microorganisms).

2. Move the watch above the wrist or take it off.

3. Clean the areas under the nails with a nail cleaner under running water.

4. Apply 3-5 ml of liquid soap to your hands or lather your hands thoroughly with bar soap.

5. Wash your hands using the following technique:

Vigorous mechanical friction of the palms (repeat 5 times);

The right palm washes the back of the left hand with rubbing movements, then the left palm washes the back of the right hand (repeat 5 times);

Palm to palm, fingers of one hand in the interdigital spaces of the other (repeat 5 times);

The back of the fingers to the palm of the other hand (fingers interlaced - repeat 5 times);

Alternating rotational friction of the thumbs of one hand with the palms of the other, palms clenched (repeat 5 times);

Variable friction of the palm of one hand with the closed fingers of the other hand (repeat)

fig.6. Hand washing.

6. Rinse your hands under running water, hold them so that the wrists and hands are below the level of the elbows and to avoid contamination from touching the sink, bathrobe and other objects.

7. Turn off the faucet, holding it only with a paper towel, as it can be a source of contamination.

8. Dry hands with sterile gauze.

8. Thoroughly treat the skin of the hands for 2-3 minutes with 2 swabs moistened with 70% alcohol or an alcohol-containing skin antiseptic with a virucidal effect (at least one minute for each hand) or apply 5-8 ml of 70% ethyl alcohol to the palmar surfaces alcohol or an alcohol-containing skin antiseptic with a virucidal effect and rub into the skin for 2 minutes.

9. Throw away the used balls into a container for disinfection.

10. Put on gloves according to the algorithm of actions.

Use of protective clothing.

Bathrobes.

With the exception of operating rooms or dressing rooms, where sterile gowns are worn to protect the patient, the main purpose of gowns is to prevent the entry of infectious agents on the clothes and skin of personnel.

Beanies.

Medical caps securely cover the hair, preventing it from acting as a source of pollution.

Aprons.

Rubber and polyethylene aprons are necessary to protect the overalls and skin of personnel in case of the threat of splashing of blood and other and other biological fluids and secretions.

Masks.

Masks are necessary to avoid airborne transmission of microorganisms, as well as in cases where there is a possibility of liquid substances of the human body entering the nose or mouth. They are especially important when personnel work directly on a large wound surface, such as open surgical wounds or burns, or in procedures with infectious patients from whom the infection can be easily transmitted by airborne droplets.

Masks should be replaced every 3-4 hours (depending on the type of work performed) or when they are moistened during work. Masks must not be lowered around the neck, reused. All masks must completely cover the nose and mouth.
