INTRODUCTION
   Hospital-associated infections represent a serious and growing
    health problem. (Harley et. al., 1985)

   The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
    estimates that approx. 2 million people acquire hospital-
    associated infections each year and that approx. 90 000 of these
    patients die as a result of their infections. (Zerr, et. al. 2005)
   Healthcare workers carry antibiotic-resistant bacteria, fungi, and
    viruses on their hands and act as a vector of transmission.
    ( http://www.med.yale.edu/ynhh/infection/presentations/slide3.html)

   The CDC and many other experts promote hand hygiene as the
    single most important measure in the prevention of hospital-
    associated infections. (Boyce and Pitter, 2002)
Hand Hygiene has 2 major components which are:
  Handwashing - removal of microorganisms (germs) with
   (ordinary) soap and water.
  Hand Antisepsis - removal or destruction of microorganisms
   using an antimicrobial soap or an alcohol-based hand rub.

    Despite the evidence and expert opinion supporting hand
     hygiene, many studies have shown that health care workers
     perform it approx. 50% of the times they should. (Zerr, et. al. 2005)

     Barriers to HCW hand hygiene compliance:
       lack of time
       skin damage that accompanies frequent washing with soap
        and water.
   What are hand sanitizers?
       alcohol-containing preparations designed for application to
        the hands for reducing the number of viable microorganisms
        on the hands. (CDC, 2002).
       They are used for avoiding the transmission of pathogens.
       supplements or alternatives to hand washing with soap and
        water. (FDA, 2009).
   Types
       Various preparations are available, including gel, foam, and
        liquid solutions.
   Active Ingredients
       isopropanol, ethanol, n-propanol, or povidone-iodine.
   Inactive Ingredients
       a thickening agent such as polyacrylic acid for alcohol gels,
       humectants such as glycerin for liquid rubs,
       propylene glycol, and essential oils of plants.

   Antimicrobial Activity
       antimicrobial activity of alcohols can be attributed to their
        ability to denature proteins (Larson and Morson, 1991) and possibly by
        dissolving membrane lipids (Prescott et. al., 2002).
       Alcohol solutions containing 60%–95% alcohol are most
        effective,
       higher concentrations are less potent because proteins are
        not denatured easily in the absence of water (Larson and Morson, 1991).
   Alcohol-based hand gels address the barriers to HCW hand
    hygiene compliance:
      they require a fraction of the time for effective hand washing
        (Mody et. al., 2003)
       they are less damaging to the skin than soap and water. (Boyce
        et. al., 2000)

       more effective in killing many microorganisms (Larson et. al., 2001)

   Studies have demonstrated increased frequency of hand hygiene
    and decreased frequency of hospital-associated infections with
    provision of alcohol hand gels in the context of institution- wide
    hand hygiene campaigns. (Zerr, et. al., 2005)
   Spectrum of Activity
       Bacteria and Fungi:
           germicidal activity against gram-positive and gram-
            negative vegetative bacteria
           multidrug-resistant pathogens (e.g., MRSA (Methicillin-
            resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and VRE (Vancomycin-resistant
            Enterococci))
           Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and various fungi

               (Price (1939, 1938); Sakuragi et. al., 1995; Kampf et. al., 1999.)
       very poor activity against bacterial spores, protozoan oocysts,
        and certain non-enveloped (nonlipophilic) viruses. (Coulthard and
        Sykes, 1936)
   Spectrum of Activity (contd.)
       Viruses:
          herpes simplex virus, human immunodeficiency virus
           [HIV], influenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus, and
           vaccinia virus)
          Hepatitis B and C are susceptible to 60-70% alcohol.

          rotavirus, adenovirus and rhinovirus are susceptible to 60-
           70% ethanol and 70% isopropanol .
          Hepatitis A and some enteroviruses are susceptible to 70-
           80% ethanol.
         (Platt and Bucknall, 1985; Krilov and Harkness, 1993; Sattar et al, 2001)
   Effects on skin
       rapidly germicidal when applied to the skin. However,
        regrowth of the normal skin flora occurs slowly after use (Lilly
        et. al., 1979).
       the drying effect of alcohol on the skin can be reduced or
        eliminated by adding 1%–3% glycerol or other skin-
        conditioning agents (Walter, 1965).

   Alcohol-based sanitizers vs. ordinary/antimicrobial
    soaps
      an alcohol-based rinse can prevent pathogen transmission
       more effectively than can handwashing with plain soap and
       water when the hands of HCWs are heavily contaminated.
        (Ehrenkranz and Alfonso, 1991)
   Alcohol-based sanitizers vs. ordinary/antimicrobial
    soaps (contd.)
      alcohol-based products reduced the number of multidrug-
       resistant pathogens recovered from the hands of HCWs more
       effectively than did handwashing with plain soap and water
       (Huang et al, 1994).
      alcohol reduced bacterial counts on hands more than

       washing hands with antimicrobial soaps or detergents
       (containing hexachlorophene, povidone- iodine, 4%
       chlorhexidine, or triclosan) (Casewell et al, 1988)
      alcohol-based rinses or gels containing emollients caused
       substantially less skin irritation and dryness than the soaps or
       antimicrobial detergents tested (Boyce et al, 2000).
   How to use
       Apply enough of the product to the palm of your hand to wet
        your hands completely.
       Rub your hands together, covering all surfaces until they are
        dry.
            around the fingernails,
            between the fingers,
            on the back of the thumb,
            and around the wrist
       If your hands are visibly dirty, however, wash with soap and
        water. [CDC, 2002 and Mayo Clinic, 2009 ]
   When to Use
       For HCW
          Before entering a patient’s room
          After contact with a patient
          After removing gloves (
             http://www.med.yale.edu/ynhh/infection/presentations/slide15.html )
       Others
            Before:
                preparing food, eating, treating wounds or giving medicine,
                 touching a sick or injured person,
                inserting or removing contact lenses
            After
                preparing food (especially raw meat or poultry), using the toilet,
                 changing a diaper, touching an animal or animal toys, leashes or
                 waste, blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing into your hands,
                 treating wounds, touching a sick or injured person, handling
                 garbage or something that could be contaminated, such as a
                 cleaning cloth or soiled shoes. [Mayo Clinic, 2009)
   Religious Concerns
     Alcohol is considered haraam, or forbidden, in
      Islamic tradition
     However, some Islamic scholars and The Muslim
      Council of Britain state that the alcohol in hand
      sanitizer used as medicine is halal, or permissible
        [islamonline.net, 2009]
             because protection against disease is among the aims that
              Muslims are commanded to pursue, so it is permissible to
              touch [islamonline.net, 2009]
       the alcohol in hand sanitizer evaporates and is not
        absorbed significantly through the skin so it cannot
        cause intoxication.[(http:/ / www. ncbi. nlm. nih. gov/ pmc/ articles/
        PMC1803104/ ) ]

ROLE OF HAND SANITIZERS IN INFECTION CONTROL AMONG HEALTH CARE WORKERS

  • 1. ROLE OF HAND SANITIZERS IN INFECTION CONTROL AMONG HEALTH CARE WORKERS (HCWs) To be presented by: OKE, MUSHAFAU ADEBAYO SKP PHARMA LTD. 5, Vori Close, off Acme Road, Ogba, Lagos.
  • 2. INTRODUCTION  Hospital-associated infections represent a serious and growing health problem. (Harley et. al., 1985)  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that approx. 2 million people acquire hospital- associated infections each year and that approx. 90 000 of these patients die as a result of their infections. (Zerr, et. al. 2005)  Healthcare workers carry antibiotic-resistant bacteria, fungi, and viruses on their hands and act as a vector of transmission. ( http://www.med.yale.edu/ynhh/infection/presentations/slide3.html)  The CDC and many other experts promote hand hygiene as the single most important measure in the prevention of hospital- associated infections. (Boyce and Pitter, 2002)
  • 3. Hand Hygiene has 2 major components which are:  Handwashing - removal of microorganisms (germs) with (ordinary) soap and water.  Hand Antisepsis - removal or destruction of microorganisms using an antimicrobial soap or an alcohol-based hand rub.  Despite the evidence and expert opinion supporting hand hygiene, many studies have shown that health care workers perform it approx. 50% of the times they should. (Zerr, et. al. 2005)  Barriers to HCW hand hygiene compliance:  lack of time  skin damage that accompanies frequent washing with soap and water.
  • 4. What are hand sanitizers?  alcohol-containing preparations designed for application to the hands for reducing the number of viable microorganisms on the hands. (CDC, 2002).  They are used for avoiding the transmission of pathogens.  supplements or alternatives to hand washing with soap and water. (FDA, 2009).  Types  Various preparations are available, including gel, foam, and liquid solutions.  Active Ingredients  isopropanol, ethanol, n-propanol, or povidone-iodine.
  • 5. Inactive Ingredients  a thickening agent such as polyacrylic acid for alcohol gels,  humectants such as glycerin for liquid rubs,  propylene glycol, and essential oils of plants.  Antimicrobial Activity  antimicrobial activity of alcohols can be attributed to their ability to denature proteins (Larson and Morson, 1991) and possibly by dissolving membrane lipids (Prescott et. al., 2002).  Alcohol solutions containing 60%–95% alcohol are most effective,  higher concentrations are less potent because proteins are not denatured easily in the absence of water (Larson and Morson, 1991).
  • 6. Alcohol-based hand gels address the barriers to HCW hand hygiene compliance:  they require a fraction of the time for effective hand washing (Mody et. al., 2003)  they are less damaging to the skin than soap and water. (Boyce et. al., 2000)  more effective in killing many microorganisms (Larson et. al., 2001)  Studies have demonstrated increased frequency of hand hygiene and decreased frequency of hospital-associated infections with provision of alcohol hand gels in the context of institution- wide hand hygiene campaigns. (Zerr, et. al., 2005)
  • 7. Spectrum of Activity  Bacteria and Fungi:  germicidal activity against gram-positive and gram- negative vegetative bacteria  multidrug-resistant pathogens (e.g., MRSA (Methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and VRE (Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci))  Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and various fungi (Price (1939, 1938); Sakuragi et. al., 1995; Kampf et. al., 1999.)  very poor activity against bacterial spores, protozoan oocysts, and certain non-enveloped (nonlipophilic) viruses. (Coulthard and Sykes, 1936)
  • 8. Spectrum of Activity (contd.)  Viruses:  herpes simplex virus, human immunodeficiency virus [HIV], influenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus, and vaccinia virus)  Hepatitis B and C are susceptible to 60-70% alcohol.  rotavirus, adenovirus and rhinovirus are susceptible to 60- 70% ethanol and 70% isopropanol .  Hepatitis A and some enteroviruses are susceptible to 70- 80% ethanol. (Platt and Bucknall, 1985; Krilov and Harkness, 1993; Sattar et al, 2001)
  • 9. Effects on skin  rapidly germicidal when applied to the skin. However, regrowth of the normal skin flora occurs slowly after use (Lilly et. al., 1979).  the drying effect of alcohol on the skin can be reduced or eliminated by adding 1%–3% glycerol or other skin- conditioning agents (Walter, 1965).  Alcohol-based sanitizers vs. ordinary/antimicrobial soaps  an alcohol-based rinse can prevent pathogen transmission more effectively than can handwashing with plain soap and water when the hands of HCWs are heavily contaminated. (Ehrenkranz and Alfonso, 1991)
  • 10. Alcohol-based sanitizers vs. ordinary/antimicrobial soaps (contd.)  alcohol-based products reduced the number of multidrug- resistant pathogens recovered from the hands of HCWs more effectively than did handwashing with plain soap and water (Huang et al, 1994).  alcohol reduced bacterial counts on hands more than washing hands with antimicrobial soaps or detergents (containing hexachlorophene, povidone- iodine, 4% chlorhexidine, or triclosan) (Casewell et al, 1988)  alcohol-based rinses or gels containing emollients caused substantially less skin irritation and dryness than the soaps or antimicrobial detergents tested (Boyce et al, 2000).
  • 11. How to use  Apply enough of the product to the palm of your hand to wet your hands completely.  Rub your hands together, covering all surfaces until they are dry.  around the fingernails,  between the fingers,  on the back of the thumb,  and around the wrist  If your hands are visibly dirty, however, wash with soap and water. [CDC, 2002 and Mayo Clinic, 2009 ]
  • 12. When to Use  For HCW  Before entering a patient’s room  After contact with a patient  After removing gloves ( http://www.med.yale.edu/ynhh/infection/presentations/slide15.html )  Others  Before:  preparing food, eating, treating wounds or giving medicine, touching a sick or injured person,  inserting or removing contact lenses  After  preparing food (especially raw meat or poultry), using the toilet, changing a diaper, touching an animal or animal toys, leashes or waste, blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing into your hands, treating wounds, touching a sick or injured person, handling garbage or something that could be contaminated, such as a cleaning cloth or soiled shoes. [Mayo Clinic, 2009)
  • 13. Religious Concerns  Alcohol is considered haraam, or forbidden, in Islamic tradition  However, some Islamic scholars and The Muslim Council of Britain state that the alcohol in hand sanitizer used as medicine is halal, or permissible [islamonline.net, 2009]  because protection against disease is among the aims that Muslims are commanded to pursue, so it is permissible to touch [islamonline.net, 2009]  the alcohol in hand sanitizer evaporates and is not absorbed significantly through the skin so it cannot cause intoxication.[(http:/ / www. ncbi. nlm. nih. gov/ pmc/ articles/ PMC1803104/ ) ]
  • 14. SKP HAND SANITIZER GEL Active ingredient: isopropyl alcohol 62% Other ingredients: •water •glycerine •propylene glycol •fragrance •triethanolamine •carbopol 940 •acetate •isopropyl myristate
