Central line-associated bloodstream infection occurred in 2% (1/61) of 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) wipe, 2% (1/59) of 70% IPA cap, and zero (0/58) infections in 2% chlorhexidine gluconate in 70% IPA wipe patients. Larger definitive trials are feasible and needed.L20076062172020-09-01 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.ajic.2020.07.026 | Resources: | https://www.embase.com/search/results?subaction=viewrecord&id=L2007606217&from=exporthttp://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ajic.2020.07.026 | | Keywords: | pilot study;needleless connector2 propanol;chlorhexidine gluconate;adult;adverse event;aged;article;catheter infection;central venous access device infection;clinical feature;controlled study;decontamination;device failure;device infection;female;human;major clinical study;male;protocol compliance;randomized controlled trial;risk factor;treatment outcome | Type: | Article |
