Wearing disposable gloves can not only reduce the chances of patients getting infected with bacteria, but also provide health protection for medical staff themselves. It can even be said that wearing gloves can reduce the chances of medical staff's family and friends coming into contact with bacteria. Because medical staff carry drug-resistant bacteria without wearing gloves, through contact with their hands, bacteria can cross parasitize between patients, causing the spread of drug-resistant strains. Thus, transmission occurs again between communities (i.e. contacts) through the transfer of host patients. So, medical staff wearing gloves is mainly to prevent the spread of bacteria and protect patients, themselves, and other contacts.
Disposable gloves have a certain lifespan. During general surgery, gloves need to be replaced every 90 minutes to prevent damage. However, when the following situations occur, the sleeve needs to be replaced immediately:
After completing the patient's examination, develop the habit of discarding gloves and change the habit of wearing gloves to touch computers, mobile phones, documents, etc.
2. If the gloves come into contact with areas that may be contaminated by pathogens, and if further inspection or contact with clean areas is required, it is recommended to replace them with a clean pair of gloves for operation.
3. When gloves come into contact with the patient's blood or body fluids, in order to avoid cross infection with subsequent patients, it is necessary to immediately replace the gloves; Timely replacement of disposable gloves seems to be a small measure, but it can effectively reduce the incidence rate of infectious diseases, and is related to the health of doctors and patients.
