Hand hygiene with alcohol hand rub and gloves reduces the incidence of late onset sepsis in preterm neonates
Original language description
AimTo assess the impact of a hand hygiene protocol, using hand washing, alcohol hand rub and gloves when caring for preterm infants born after 31weeks of gestation, on the incidence of neonatal late onset sepsis (LOS). MethodsAll babies delivered between32+0 and 36+6weeks gestation and admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit during a 14-month period were included. We followed a hand hygiene protocol with hand washing and alcohol hand rub (hand rub period) for the first 7months and a protocol of hand washing, alcohol hand rub and gloves (gloves period) for the second 7months. The hand rub and gloves groups consisted of 111 and 89 patients, respectively. ResultsFive patients were diagnosed with a total of six episodes of LOS in the hand rub group,and the incidence of LOS during the hand rub period was 2.99/1000 hospital days and 54.1/1000 admissions. There were no patients diagnosed with LOS during the gloves period (significant decrease, p=0.028). ConclusionUsing a hand hygiene p
