[Hygiene status of ambulances and equipment in rescue services].
Focus on hygienic management in ambulances is presented based on findings from hygienic microbiological sampling. ⋯ Based on the results of hygienic microbiological analysis, the main focus of hygienic measures--besides hand disinfection--should be on spray disinfection of the sphygmomanometer cuffs and stethoscopes as well as disinfection of ambulance equipment and storage areas for sterile devices, supplemented by dust protection of ready-to-use materials and devices. Stationary dispensers for hand disinfection possessing at least midlength levers must become the standard in ambulances, and conventional handwashing basins with plastic drinking-water containers and pump must be eliminated entirely.
