Interaction of healthcare worker hands and portable medical equipment: a sequence analysis to show potential transmission opportunities
2017
Background
While research has demonstrated the importance of a clean health care environment, there is a lack of research on the role portable medical equipment (PME) play in the transmission cycle of healthcare-acquired infections (HAIs). This study investigated the patterns and sequence of contact events among health care workers, patients, surfaces, and medical equipment in a hospital environment.
