Abstract

Standard evaluation for surgical hand washing is based on the glove juice method using bacterial culture. However, this method is complicated and routine implementation is difficult. The measurement of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) using bioluminescent method (ATP method) is a reliable and rapid method to evaluate cleaness. However, there is still controversy about whether ATP method could be used to evaluate hand hygiene in hospitals. The purpose of this study is to compare ATP method and agar method for evaluation of hand hygiene in ICU.
