Facts about hand hygiene What is it? Hand hygiene means cleaning your hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub. Why is it important? Good hand hygiene is the most effective way to stop infections spreading. Many infections, such as the common cold and the flu, are caused by spreading germs from person to person.

This is why when we touch other people or objects we can spread germs without even realizing it. When to wash your hands You should wash your hands properly and often, especially: before, during and after preparing food after going to the toilet or changing a nappy after you blow your nose, sneeze or cough when your hands are visibly dirty after smoking after handling or patting animals before and after taking care of someone who is sick when you enter and leave a healthcare facility.

The adult heart pumps about five quarts of blood each minute – approximately 2,000 gallons of blood each day – throughout the body.  A typical athlete’s heart churns out up to eight gallons of blood per minute.     Blood Pumping Procedure The  deoxygenated blood  is collected from all parts of the body by the  right atrium .
