The American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also compared preschoolers kept at home with those sent to day care and found that software outsourcing was 30% more common in those in day care. The effectiveness of proper hand washing was confirmed in the 2004 Karachi Health soap Study where children were taught how to wash their hands and given plain soap to use. This resulted in a 53% decrease in the incidence of software outsourcing, with a shorter duration in those that had software outsourcing. What is the proper hand washing technique? 1. Wet hands with running water 2. Apply soap (solid or liquid) 3. Rub hands together for at least 20 seconds (say ABC's) 4. Clean under the fingernails and between the fingers 5. Rinse hands thoroughly under running water 6. Dry hands properly. Do not use a wet towel Having properly washed the hands, a dry paper towel should be used to turn off the tap and to open the door as these areas are germ hot zones. Effective hand washing within hospitals is crucial in the delivery of quality healthcare, yet healthcare workers have such poor rates of compliance. The CDC estimates that 15 per cent of all hospital patients develop some type of nosocomial infections. These infections kill 30,000 people each year and cause illness in 70,000. Nurses and doctors who move between wards and among families and patients can effectively deliver large doses of germs. This can be prevented by using the mechanical action of rubbing the hands together with soap and water to dislodge the germs and flush them away with running water. In 1843, Dr. Wendell Holmes, an American physician, suspected that 255 of the women delivering in hospital died from a fever transmitted by medical students. He initiated a programme of hand washing using chlorinated water and reduced the mortality rate to less than 1 per cent. It is reported that this so enraged his colleagues that they ordered hand washing to stop! In 1846, Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis, an Austrian physician observed that the maternal mortality rate in the clinic operated by medical students was three times higher than that clinic in which deliveries were conducted by mid wives. He also used chlorine solution to dramatically lower the maternal mortality rate. These studies resulted in the wider acceptance of hand washing as a means of preventing the spread of pathogens. While this is accepted, practice belies the knowledge. In 1983 at the San Diego conference of Association of Practitioners in Infection Control, Larson and Larson showed that Junior Doctors washed their hands more often when their consultants set the example and abandoned the habit when their seniors did not wash their hands. We need to remind each other and be more meticulous in our hand washing. Hospital acquired infections increase morbidity (and sometimes mortality), prolong hospital stay and increases cost of treatment. Community acquired infections result in loss in productivity, increased sick days and decreased child health. FOR YOUR INFORMATION 1. Cold and flu viruses can survive on surfaces for 72 hours 2. There are 20,961 germs per square inch on the average office desk 3. The average toilet set has 49 germs per square inch 4. The computer keyboard has 3,295 germs per square inch 5. The phone, desktop and the microwave handle are the most infectious objects in the office 6.Disinfecting these areas once per day will reduce bacteria by at least 99 per cent 7. Kitchen sponges harbour 7.2 billion germs and should be replaced biweekly 8. The use of alcohol based hand sanitises will reduce the spread of infections. ... software outsourcing
