FW: disinfecting with alcohol

[KayBeth Weibel, CRNI]

Although I did not attend, there were anecdotal reports on this list serve that Dr Maffi (?sp) who spoke at the AVA conference in January recommended 10-15 seconds of scrubbing.  I may be mistaken, please correct me if I am wrong.   KayBeth   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Drafz Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2006 11:35 PM To: venous Subject: disinfecting with alcohol   We have a little controversy about how long you should scrub a injection cap/port/hub with alcohol. Anyone has some literature about this? Thanks.
