Recommended Practices for Hand Hygiene in the Perioperative Setting

Hand hygiene is a primary method of decreasing healthcare-associated infections. Hand hygiene, hand washing, and surgical hand scrubs are the most effective way to prevent and control infections and represent the least expensive means of achieving both.
