from analysis. In these observations the drying timewas less
than the prescribed 30 s,which, for that matter, is acceptable
for emergent life-saving interventions. Ninety-nine observations
of visiting healthcare professionals (e.g. laboratory
workers and X-ray technicians) were analyzed separately
since they did not participate in the education program.
Thus, 1201 observations were included in themain analysis.
These concerned 751 low-riskand 450 high-risk procedures.
