The use of aerosol disinfectant preparations when collecting specimens may contaminate the sample if an aerosol propellant is used. Contamination of blood samples with ethanol or 2-propanol may also occur if an alcohol-soaked swab is used to cleanse skin prior to venepuncture. Gross contamination with technical xylene (a mixture of o-, m-, and p-xylene together with ethylbenzene) has been found in blood collected into Sarstedt Monovette Serum Gel blood collection tubes contamination with toluene (up to 22 mg 1 ), 1-butanol, ethylbenzene, and xylene has been found in batches of these same tubes. Contamination with 1-butanol or 2-methyl-2-prop-anol occurs commonly in blood collected into tubes coated with EDTA. Care should be taken when handling frozen tissue prior to analysis as any compounds present in ambient air may condense on the cold surface and give rise to false positives. Processing blank frozen tissue can control for this possibility.

Soap as used in personal cleansing products has a long safe history of use. Modem soaps have been specifically formulated to be compatible with skin and to be used on a daily basis with minimal side effects. Excessive use of soap for skin cleansing can dismpt the natural barrier function of skin through the removal of skin oils and dismption of the Hpid bdayer in skin. This can result in imperfect desquamation or a dry appearance to skin and cause an irritation response or erythema, ie, reddening of the skin. Neither of these is a permanent response and the eHcitation of this type of skin reaction depends on the individual s skin type, the product formulation, and the frequency of use. 

Whereas tests (186) indicated that ampholytes were effective in skin cleansing for preoperative use, for wound cleansing, and as an antiseptic in the oral cavity (187), as well as other medical appHcations, the food and beverage industries have proved to be the principal employers of these compounds. Ampholytes are used as sanitizers and disinfectants, not as food preservatives. Low toxicity, absence of skin irritation, and noncorrosiveness, along with antimicrobial activity, has given ampholytes acceptance in dairies, meat plants, and the brewing and soft drink industries. These disinfectants have been manufactured and distributed in Europe and Japan, but not in the United States. 

A skin woundprotectant is a nonirritating antimicrobial-containing preparation appHed to small cleansed wounds it provides a protective physical barrier and a chemical (antimicrobial) barrier that neither delays healing nor favors the growth of microorganisms.

Barrier creams are applied before work to provide a protective film. A different type of cream, cleansing cream, is applied after work to aid dirt removal and to condition skin with humectant. 

After selecting the site for injection, cleanse the skin. Most hospitals have a policy regarding the type of skin antiseptic used for cleansing the skin before parenteral drug administration. Cleanse the skin with a circular motion, starting at an inner point and moving outward. 

The inner part of the forearm and the upper back may be used for intradermal injections. The area should be hairless areas near moles, scars, or pigmented skin areas should be avoided. The nurse should cleanse the area in the same manner as for SC and IM injections. 

Ointments are sometimes used and come witii a special paper marked in inches. Measure die correct lengtii (onto die paper), place the paper widi die drug ointment side down on die skin, and secure it with tape Before the next dose, remove die paper and tape and cleanse the skin. 

Topical antiseptics and germicides are primarily used to reduce the number of bacteria on skin surfaces. Some of these drag s, such as chlorhexidine gluconate, may be used as a surgical scrub, as a preoperative skin cleanser, for washing the hands before and after caring for patients, and in the home to cleanse the skin. Others may be applied to minor cuts and abrasions to prevent infection. Some of these drag s may also be used on mucous membranes. 

TOPICAL ANTI-INFECTIVES. Before each application, die nurse cleanses die skin widi soap and warm water unless the primary healdi care provider orders a different mediod. The nurse applies the anti-infective as prescribed (eg, tiiin layer, applied liberally) and the area is either covered or left exposed. 

In two studies the cleansing and irritancy behavior of surfactants [106,107] were examined. An automated skin brushing method using a specific test soil and an epicutaneous irritation test on the dorsum of volunteers were applied. A sodium sulfosuccinate monoester based on a fatty alcohol ethoxylate gave very favorable results with respect to skin mildness although this concurred with low detergency.
