Hand Hygiene, an Update
2021, Infectious Disease Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Before 2002, handwashing by health care personnel (HCP) in the United States was performed almost exclusively using either non-antimicrobial or antimicrobial soap. Evaluation of alcohol-based hand rubs (ABHRs) as an alternative to soap and water handwashing began as early in the late 1970s, with their adoption in some European hospitals during the next 20 years.5–7 However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines on environmental control and handwashing published in 1985 recommended that alcohol-containing solutions only be used for hand hygiene in emergency settings where sinks were not available.2
