Objetivo: Presentar la higiene de manos adecuada como un método eficaz para reducir la prevalencia de infecciones hospitalarias. Metodología: El presente estudio es una revisión bibliográfica, descriptivo-analítica. Resultados y Discusión: La higiene de manos es un método profiláctico de bajo costo, práctico y sencillo, ya que reduce la probabilidad de infecciones nosocomiales y debe ser reforzado entre los profesionales de la salud. Las consecuencias de la higiene no manual o la higiene por técnica incorrecta pueden conducir a un aumento de las infecciones hospitalarias, sobrecargando el sistema de salud y aumentando el período de institucionalización de los pacientes y las tasas de morbimortalidad relativa y absoluta. Conclusión: La acción sobre los posibles factores que inciden en la ausencia o incorrección de la práctica de la higiene de manos, así como la reafirmación de la importancia de la higiene de manos entre el equipo de salud es necesaria para la reducción y control de las infecciones hospitalarias.Introdução: Segundo a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), as mãos dos profissionais da saúde são um dos principais mecanismos de transmissão das infecções hospitalares, podendo ser chamadas de infecções cruzadas.
