Abstract

Forty anesthesia providers were evaluated with and without hand sanitizer dispensers present on the anesthesia machine. Having a dispenser increased the frequency of hand hygiene only from 0.5 to 0.8 events per hour (P =.01). Other concomitant interventions are needed to further increase hand hygiene frequency among anesthesia providers. © 2014 by The Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America. All rights reserved.
