Popis: Question In small animal surgery are alcoholic hand rubs superior to scrubbing brushes and antimicrobial soap at reducing bacterial counts? The category of research question was: Prevalence. The number and type of study designs that were critically appraised were: Two studies. One prospective randomised controlled trial and one clinical trial. Critical appraisal of the selected papers meeting the inclusion criteria collectively provide zero/weak/moderate/strong evidence in terms of their experimental design and implementation: Moderate. The outcomes reported are summarised as follows… That alcohol hand rubs are as effective, if not more, than antimicrobial soap for presurgical hand preparation when used according to the manufacturer guidelines. In view of the strength of evidence and the outcomes from the studies the following conclusion is made… Alcohol hand rubs are as effective than antimicrobial soaps at presurgical hand preparation. If human healthcare studies were included in this Knowledge Summary, the results would likely be stronger and more conclusive so this should be considered for a separate knowledges summary. There are also added benefits to using alcohol hand rubs such as saving water and quicker preparation of the surgical scrub team.
