A Complete Guide to Hand Washing

This is a short film showing how to wash your hands correctly with both Alcohol Rub and Soap and Water within a medical environment. Doing this correctly is an important first step in infection control within all medical establishments. This clip was originally used by Medical Students at the University of Leicester as part of a larger teaching package.

Great tutorial, but it would have been nice to see the final result under the UV light for comparison.

[@lucindaludwig6456]

Good video! One of the best on KZbin.

[@robertfrost8452]

One of the better videos but she cross contaminates by balling up the towel in her hands. You also want to open the door with a towel so you don't further cross contaminate your hands while exiting the bathroom.

[@26subscribers34]

Thank you so much, this is very useful.

[@TheAlfsterino]

You should also wash your full wrists as well. That is how we do it going into GMP areas

[@lolliepopstrawberry3204]

i wash my wrists else well

[@meocats]

she fucked up when she grabbed the wink with her hands before washing it. you have to grab it with a paper towel to prevent contaimating the handles

[@theresavaz6318]

Thanks for this video. Was very helpful

[@MortsMedicalPoop]

Good question!

[@cindyswarner]

best vid ever!!!

[@binhminh417]

This is the best tutorial video of practicing hand hygiene. However, I wish she had turned off the water while scrubbing and drying her hands.

[@eavening4149]

That would have re-contaminated her hands. Also use paper towel to open door. Foot pedals and automatic water faucets really save a lot of water and are great for not spreading germs at that point of contact.

[@insilence6156]

Nope

[@khushboogarg1031]

@@eavening4149 Yes after using washroom in public places, we wash our hands but after washing hands, we open door of restroom so it's contamination 😌😌

[@kaliraju1]

How can the wastage of water is stopped during the process of handwash ? I think the automatic taps should do good as till you dry your hands the water is running continuously hence getting wasted.

[@sonicfarts3310]

We should be wasting as much water as possible as it is responsible for thousands of deaths each year look at the titanic for instance, just like those bastard rain forests as well cut em down before they kill more of us with their dangerous animals and such

[@shanewarren4678]

Don't wash your hands, it's bad for the environment maaaan! idiot

[@donrobertson8663]

learnt something here.good video

[@AmazingWorldChannel]

thanks for yr guide mam....

[@viniciusvbf22]

I *really* hope that this absurdly quantity of wasted water during the washing of her hands is only for this great video; otherwise we may die not because of bacterias, but by not having enough treated water for everyone.

[@rcmast3rtract0rking]

Vinicius Fonseca ok

[@MrIhateeveryoneofyou]

I have a handwashing assessment for my nursing course on Friday and this video is really helpful. I would have never guessed that there was so much bacteria on your fingers and that they could be so harmful.

[@Mkoll]

3:39 using the paper towel to touch the dirty handle, then putting the contamined paper towel in ur right hand with the dirty side to ur hand -.-

[@mylynnsutton1383]

Mkoll ,

[@insilence6156]

not just that......wrists wet.....touching back a contaminated faucet with her arm...she could use the paper towel there instead....a batch of errors which as a nurse, has me worried.

[@Turglayfopa]

the water was running for a bit over 50 seconds and she didnt touch the water for over 5 seconds even!!!

[@gbimuekingdom1063]

Wow!!! it was educative.

[@balmoralwatersportscentere909]

Thank You

[@lord_napoli]

Pretty relevant now.

[@rawzey]

corona fam where you at?

[@DisconnectedRoamer]

these germs exist, well done. they aren't bad.

[@leniemerkava9757]

thank you for this!

[@claudiateotonio2487]

How much the ultraviolet light for when I wash my hands next time?

[@brittneycorreia7570]

So you use alcohol rub before hand washing? How does that make sense cause I always use hand sanitizer after I wash my hands

[@deKahedron]

This hasn't ever been more relevant

[@selahchunem8447]

I am surprised and disappointed that she did not include up until the elbows like surgeons do. Esp important even for lay people in summer time and subtropical weather since people sneeze into there elbows and forearms mostly now.

[@sharpasaneraser]

You just can't leave like that, lady - we were bonding

[@tabioschannel2479]

Why did you disposed the dirty paper towels in the yellow bin??

[@gregcollins3187]

And now I pull my tie out , watch back on and I'm back

[@ladybottomley]

We are told to use, elbows to turn the taps on and off, to stop re-contamination of the hands. You should not dry that way as the droplets may contain bacteria. You are supposed to dry from the fingertips down, one paper at a time. Just shows how people do things differently and there is no consistency in teaching and therefore decides the outcome of what is learnt!

[@twotone854]

Good useful video

[@caseyrussell5558]

Great video!! I cant help but cringe every time she leaves the tap running without using the water though hahaha

[@bevinaka]

Bom dia a todos! Não esqueçam de fechar a torneira enquanto ensaboam ou enxugam as mãos, para não gastarmos água desnecessariamente.

[@nicolesousa132]

What is that black thing and where can I buy it? I want one for me. It would be so awesome to use.

[@elverdad6805]

It's just a "black light". I think you can get them at places like Wal-mart. Have fun!

[@Allibaby78]

I would prefer this is re-done as the steps in the Ayliffe technique she tried to demonstrate have not been followed strictly.

[@elverdad6805]

My Nursing program did not teach or assess hand washing. It was basically the first social ice-breaker class, but they didn't instruct like this at all. I'm not sure the instructors knew how to wash their hands that well. Some didn't even seem to grasp that hands could be contaminated past the wrist. But they did use the black light, which students thought was "cool", but I'm not sure they understood what the point was. Be afraid. Be very afraid...

[@beebeelicious]

It was in our first week of lectures, we all did this practical.😨

[@Zetaixon]

"Nerdologia" brought me here!

[@patriciarobinson6081]

So how do you open the washroom door to come out if you threw your paper towel out first?

[@tesspeni2225]

yeah, this is where all there germs live, on that door handle!

[@romanro4316]

kick it

[@Chillarn17]

BuzzFeedVideo brought me here..

[@m0rbidh0rr0r]

BuzzFeedVideo brought me cancer...

[@keitelle]

you don't turn off the faucet when you're washing your hands. the water should flow from the least contaminated to the more contaminated area. It's a manual faucet not a knee or foot controlled one.

[@ohmygoodgod]

What if paper towel has bacteria?

[@MortsMedicalPoop]

Verrry carefully. In all seriousness, it's true that humans are quite resilient, but MRSA is a particular problem among homeless populations in shelters. It's not that being dirty is the problem-- it's being dirty around many other dirty people, and potentially having unhealed wounds.

[@wenniedenisemendoza4267]

Let it drip. You never shake your hands after you wash your hands. Or else you will fail.

[@oldschoolwaverider]

Good tutorial, but it seems as though she didn't rinse the soap off very well. That would surely dry hands out.

[@gabrieladenhollander2421]

Good

[@jake2807]

and I'm sure drying hands with seperate paper towels is required

[@ElectricWarior]

Two seconds after washing all bacteria coming back.

[@MiataBRG]

Po-faced would be putting it mildly! 'Sing 2-3 verses of Happy Birthday to time your handwashing' - yeah right.

[@Tommy-ts8qc]

hello miata from 8 years ago

[@MortsMedicalPoop]

Waste? as in poop?

[@danielwambugu6150]

nice video super

[@kezzagannon]

How did I get here from M.O.A.B explosions

[@ameliasim491]

my problem is that there's always soap remaining on my hand

[@kentwilcox351]

Simple, I just lick it off, or get a mate to do it for me

[@krikfun]

[@BooksBySterling]

Good - except that is NOT how you dry the hands - and you are not supposed to flick off the water - I'd mark 6/10

[@chloesdad1000]

Thought the hospital's were over-run, she should be doing some work on all those with this imaginary disease.

[@wimbletone]

Id understand if its surgical handwashing but regular? TURN THE DAMN FAUCET OFF. What a waste of water and to think, resources are not easily replaceable with the amount of demand in this planet anymore.

[@nomainreason]

that should fix the problem... more people will die in hospitals, and there'd be more water for the rest of us.. cleanliness has it's place. and today, the only way to clean is by using water. there was a time when doctors didn't wash their hands between handling patients.. a lot of people died in hospitals, and nobody knew why..

[@pardeepsinghbains8617]

who tf takes this long to wash their hands though lol

[@nombredeusuarionombr]

I take 30 mins. I have OCD.

[@niggaplease2157]

Who came here from searching corona virus?

[@RLekhy]

Yeah madam, you still need to learn how to save water!

[@presto3219]

Use at least 10L of water...or more!!!!!!🙈🙈

[@pr0d1gy_]

Smh coronavirus brought it here

[@BrightestFireflyAqui]

Why are you treating it like such a dichotomy? Like she can only do one or the other. It wouldn't be hard to take a second to turn off the water with her elbow. Of course she should be worried about spreading disease but considering how the world's water resources are going it would be a good foresight to stop wasting so much, or become vegetarian.

To wash your arse simply sit in the sink

[@MrWowa9900]

Such wastewater and hand paper- -

[@anaszeidan8117]

what a waste of water, if you going to talk for 2 mins turn the water off first

[@ExtraordAmbassador]

Before reading comments I saw wasting so much in water , so just remove this video or change it ..

[@nomainreason]

What's with all the WASTE talk!? I'd rather that she "waste" that much water instead of spreading the kinds of bacteria you find in hospitals. If you want the doctors not to "waste" that much water before performing surgery on you, go ahead and tell'em - I seriously hope you are smart not to.

[@insilence6156]

What a joke.....so many many errors......

Hallo liebes Händewaschenteam dieses video ist der größte dreck den ich seit langem auf KZbin gesehen habe. Liebe Grüße, Lukas Zerz
