Primary Outcome Measures:

contamination rate in blood culture [ Time Frame: at the time of identification of organisms ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]


Enrollment:	1854
Study Start Date:	March 2009
Study Completion Date:	December 2009
Primary Completion Date:	December 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
No Intervention: conventional gloving
Experimental: routine sterile gloving	Behavioral: Routine sterile gloving routinely new sterile gloving just before sampling

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.
