Wash your hands with hand sanitizer or soap? It is believed that most people choose hand sanitizer because it is easy to use, can sterilize, and moisturizes skin. But media reports say hand sanitizers are no substitute for soap.
Remove dirt, sterilization is the main purpose of hand washing. And hand sanitizer can satisfy the effect of sterilization because in most hand sanitizers contain alcohol, alcohol can’t effectively remove some of the small aperture dirt in the skin, such as dust, dirt, blood, etc. Therefore, soap should be used in this case to wash hands instead of using hand sanitizer. In fact, go to the hospital to discover, many doctors use soap to wash hands, not because the price of soap is cheap.
The world health organization says more than nine million health workers in more than 1.57 million health institutions in 168 countries have made “hand washing commitments”. Medical staff and patients have dirty hands, which can lead to spread and cross-infection of germs. The most common infections include urethra and surgical incision infection, pneumonia and blood infection.
Proper hand washing is very important for medical staff. Medical personnel washes their hands first of all to protect themselves, and to the patient’s protection, also provide a line of defense for the cross infection inside the hospital. Health care workers do not wash their hands and cause more damage than drivers who drink and drive.
Health care workers should wash their hands with soap before contacting patients or using soap with alcohol, or when there is obvious dirt on their hands.
