Researchers recently compared an intraoperative hand-hygiene method and personalized, body-worn hand-hygiene system, according to an article on the Becker's Infection Control and Clinical Quality website.
The study showed the body-worn system increased decontamination.
Researchers randomly assigned operating room environments to either the usual intraoperative hand-hygiene method or the personalized, body-worn hand hygiene system.
The study revealed the staff members with the body-worn system achieved a hand decontamination event rate of 4.3 events per hour compared to the alternative 0.57 events per hour.
