Experimental evaluation of chlorhexidine gluconate for ocular antisepsis.
Chlorhexidine gluconate is a bisguanide germicide currently available with 70% isopropanol (Hibistat, Hibitane) or a detergent (Hibiclens, Hibiscrub) for preoperative skin preparation. As these solvents are toxic to the cornea, we investigated the safety and efficacy of aqueous chlorhexidine solutions for ophthalmic use. Chlorhexidine in Tris-glycine buffer was evaluated for retardation of epit...
متن کاملChlorhexidine-Alcohol versus Povidone-Iodine for Surgical-Site Antisepsis.
BACKGROUND Since the patient's skin is a major source of pathogens that cause surgical-site infection, optimization of preoperative skin antisepsis may decrease postoperative infections. We hypothesized that preoperative skin cleansing with chlorhexidine-alcohol is more protective against infection than is povidone-iodine. METHODS We randomly assigned adults undergoing clean-contaminated surg...

[a] HemaClear ® , a self-contained, sterile, exsanguinating tourniquet face. Chemical burn was also reported in a 4 year old boy who underwent general anesthesia for elective orchidopexy; within a few hours, the child developed erythema and blistering around the upper buttocks and natal cleft region. The author recommended saline rinsing after antisepsis [4]. In 1995, contact dermatitis involvi...
متن کاملA clinical study comparing the skin antisepsis and safety of ChloraPrep, 70% isopropyl alcohol, and 2% aqueous chlorhexidine.
ChloraPrep (2% chlorhexidine gluconate + 70% isopropyl alcohol [CHG + IPA] in a 3.0-mL applicator) is a recently approved antiseptic for preoperative skin preparation. This controlled open-label trial assessed the immediate and persistent antimicrobial efficacy and safety of CHG + IPA compared with 70% IPA or a 2% CHG aqueous solution alone. Each antiseptic significantly reduced abdominal and i...
متن کاملIntravitreal injection technique
This article describes how to give an intravitreal injection of an anti-VEGF drug. At present, the majority of intravitreal injections are administered by doctors; however, experience in the UK has shown that trained nurses can give these injections as safely as ophthalmologists. The single most important thing to remember is that an intravitreal injection is an intraocular operation, and shoul...
