5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether routine sterile gloving can lower contamination rates in blood culture.
Detailed Description
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.
