Abstract
A high compliance with hand hygiene especially before aseptic tasks (indication 2) seems to be of greatest importance in order to minimize hospital acquired infections and bacterial cross transmission. However, the majority of indication-specific analyses revealed the lowest compliance with indication 2.

The total number of hand hygiene events (HHE) as well as all HHEs performed in the patient rooms and at the benches were correlated with the number of invasive procedures performed in the patients rooms and at the benches on a daily basis
A total of 208.184 HHE occurred, thereof 17.311 (8%) in the patient rooms. These figures translate into 57 HHE/ patient-day (PD) in general and to 5 HHE in the patient rooms/PD
