Water-wise hand preparation - the true impact of our practice: A controlled before-and-after study.

CONCLUSIONS: Water use during surgical hand preparation can easily be reduced by implementing easy and effective interventions. The practicality of interventions may differ between institutions, and their acceptance by surgical staff is important to ensure compliance. However, ensuring that alternative scrubbing options are available to surgical staff would equate to substantial savings over time. PMID: 32657740 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
