Effectiveness of Routine Sterile Gloving in Blood Culture

December 3, 2013 updated by: Wan Beom Park, Seoul National University Hospital

Influence of Routine Sterile Gloving on Contamination Rates in Blood Culture

The purpose of this study is to determine whether routine sterile gloving can lower contamination rates in blood culture.

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

Because contamination during sampling for blood culture may interfere in interpreting the results of blood culture, lowering the contamination rates in blood culture is very important. According to current guideline, routine sterile gloving is not recommended. We hypothesized that routine sterile gloving can lower contamination rates in blood culture.
