Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This is an randomized, prospective study utilizing volunteers from the anesthesia department at Geisinger Medical Center (GMC). Subjects' hands will be randomized 1:1 using statistical software to determine which hand will receive the gel polish using proportional stratified random sampling. The glove juice method will be used to measure hand bacterial counts to determine whether or not hands with nail polish harbor more bacteria than hands without polish. In addition, all subjects will fill out an employee satisfaction survey related to their satisfaction at work at the beginning of the study as well as at the end of the study.
