The aim of the study was to investigate the incidence of glove perforation in cannulation of blood vessels (CBV) during resuscitation and compare perforation rates between single and double-gloves.
Exposure to blood pathogens among medical staff is a serious problem that should be first and foremost prevented . The risk of acquiring a virus from one percutaneous needle stick is 0.3% to 0.4% for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), 6% to 30% for hepatitis B (HBV), and 2.7% to 10% for hepatitis C (HCV). The prevention of blood-borne infections is particularly important during cases when emergency medical attention is needed. Emergency Response Personnel that work in this profession have taken medical rescue courses to prepare for situations of sudden health threats, hence the majority of procedures is associated with direct contact with body fluids of the patient.
