Hand washing techniques used to prevent the spread of infection Technegau golchi dwylo er mwyn atal haint rhag lledaenu

Promoting good hand hygiene has been at the forefront of the NHS’s drive to reduce MRSA cases. Healthcare workers have been encouraged to wash their hands before and after dealing with individual patients, or when they are likely to be contaminated. In doing so, it is likely they are reducing their own risk of acquiring some healthcare-acquired infections as well.

The Five Moments for Hand Hygiene (World Health Organisation Guidelines)

1. BEFORE PATIENT CONTACT
   WHEN? Clean hands before touching a patient when approaching him or her.
   WHY? To protect the patient against harmful germs carried on hands.
2. BEFORE AN ASEPTIC TASK
   WHEN? Clean hands immediately before any aseptic task.
   WHY? To protect the patient against harmful germs, including the patient’s own germs, entering his or her body.
3. AFTER BODY FLUID EXPOSURE RISK
   WHEN? Clean hands immediately after an exposure risk to body fluids (and after glove removal).
   WHY? To protect yourself and the health-care environment from harmful patient germs.
4. AFTER PATIENT CONTACT
   WHEN? Clean hands after touching a patient and his or her immediate surroundings when leaving.
   WHY? To protect yourself and the health-care environment from harmful patient germs.
5. AFTER CONTACT WITH PATIENT SURROUNDINGS
   WHEN? Clean hands after touching any object or furniture in the patient’s immediate surroundings, when leaving - even without touching the patient.
   WHY? For personal protection and the protection of the health-care environment from harmful patient germs.

Mae hyrwyddo hylendid dwylo da wedi bod yn flaenllaw yn ymgyrch y GIG i leihau achosion o MRSA. Mae gweithwyr gofal iechyd wedi cael eu hannog i olchi eu dwylo cyn ac ar ôl delio â chleifion unigol, neu pan fyddant yn debygol o fod wedi'u halogi. Wrth wneud hynny, mae'n debygol eu bod yn lleihau eu risg eu hunain o ddal rhai heintiau a geir mewn gofal iechyd hefyd.
