Effectiveness of Routine Sterile Gloving in Blood Culture
Effectiveness of Routine Sterile Gloving in Blood Culture
The purpose of this study is to determine whether routine sterile gloving can lower
 contamination rates in blood culture.
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.
