Studying hygiene, McGuckin has found some health workers never actually put their hands under water at the sink, or only wash the tips of their fingers-- without soap.
Bacteria on unwashed hands can spread directly to a patient through an i-v line, a catheter, or a respirator.,
Most hospital workers do know the proper scrubbing technique-- using a rapid motion for 10 to 15 seconds.
In this C-B-S experiment, hospital workers usually complied when they knew the camera was watching.
But when they were unaware of it, they actually washed for only four or five seconds, using little soap.
