For years hygiene rituals have been performed in hospitals without awareness of their sense or usefulness. The present study sets out to show that entrance mats with tacky or disinfectant surfaces, complete disinfection of the hospital and routine general disinfections can be dispensed with. Shortcomings in surgical hand disinfection, placing and care of drains, and rinsing of stomach probes are also pointed out. Modern proposals should be aimed at raising the standard of hygiene in our hospitals, with special emphasis on the time-honoured rule of Semmelweis regarding strict and permanently available hygienic disinfection for the hands.
多年来，医院一直在进行卫生消毒程序，却并未意识到其意义或用途。本研究旨在表明，带有粘性或消毒表面的入口地垫、医院的全面消毒以及常规的一般消毒都可以省去。同时还指出了外科洗手消毒、引流管的放置和护理以及胃管冲洗方面的不足之处。现代的建议应该旨在提高我们医院的卫生标准，特别强调塞梅尔魏斯的古老规则，即手部要严格且随时进行卫生消毒。
