Background: Blood culture contamination leads to inappropriate or unnecessary antibiotic use. However, practical guidelines are incon- sistent about the routine use of sterile gloving in collection of blood for culture.
Objective: To determine whether the routine use of sterile gloving before venipuncture reduces blood culture contamination rates.
Design: Cluster randomized, assessor-blinded, crossover trial (ClinicalTrials.gov registration number: NCT00973063).
Setting: Single-center trial involving medical wards and the inten- sive care unit.
Participants: 64 interns in charge of collection of blood for culture were randomly assigned to routine-to-optional or optional-to- routine sterile gloving groups for 1854 adult patients who needed blood cultures.
Intervention: During routine sterile gloving, the interns wore sterile gloves every time before venipuncture, but during optional sterile gloving, sterile gloves were worn only if needed.
Measurements: Isolates from single positive blood cultures were classified as likely contaminant, possible contaminant, or true pathogen. Contamination rates were compared by using general- ized mixed models.
Results: A total of 10 520 blood cultures were analyzed: 5265 from the routine sterile gloving period and 5255 from the optional sterile gloving period. When possible contaminants were included, the contamination rate was 0.6% in routine sterile gloving and 1.1% in optional sterile gloving (adjusted odds ratio, 0.57 [95% CI, 0.37 to 0.87]; P 0.009). When only likely contaminants were included, the contamination rate was 0.5% in routine sterile gloving and 0.9% in optional sterile gloving (adjusted odds ratio, 0.51 [CI, 0.31 to 0.83]; P 0.007).
Limitation: Blood cultures from the emergency department, surgi- cal wards, and pediatric wards were not assessed.
Conclusion: Routine sterile gloving before venipuncture may re- duce blood culture contamination.

これから）短時間の発言しかできない会議で、何をいうのか？。連日連敗している。事前にテーマのラインがわかっていて、参加者の温度がキャッチできればいいのだが、次の行動を発言できる。しかし、重要と呼ばれる会議ほど、そうではない。つまり、テーマラインは瞬間で変わり、知らない参加者がいて、次の行動というには大きすぎる。そこを踏まえて、どうするか？、だ。
