Comparative cutaneous absorption of various alcohols. | Austin Authors: | Brown, T L;Gamon, S;Tester, P;Martin, R;Hosking, K;Bowkett, G C;Gerostamoulos, D;Grayson, M Lindsay | Affiliation: | Infectious Diseases | Issue Date: | 28-Dec-2006 | Publication information: | Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy 2006; 51(3): 1107-8 | Abstract: | We assessed cutaneous ethanol (ETOH) and isopropanol (ISOP) absorption after intensive (30 times per h) use of alcohol-based hand-rub solutions by healthcare workers (HCWs). ETOH was detectable in the breath of 6/20 HCWs (0.001 to 0.0025%) at 1 to 2 min postexposure and in the serum of 2/20 HCWs at 5 to 7 min postexposure. Serum ISOP levels were unrecordable at all time points. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/10294 | DOI: | 10.1128/AAC.01320-06 | ORCID: | Journal: | Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17194820 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | 2-Propanol.pharmacokinetics Administration, Topical Adult Aged Anti-Infective Agents, Local.administration & dosage.blood.pharmacokinetics Chromatography, Gas Ethanol.administration & dosage.blood.pharmacokinetics Female Health Personnel Humans Male Middle Aged Skin Absorption |
