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...
متن کاملThird-degree chemical burns from chlorhexidine local antisepsis.
[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 کاملComparison of Chlorhexidine-Alcohol and Povidone-Iodine for Skin Antisepsis and the Effect of Increased Blood Volume in Blood Culture
Background: Reducing skin contamination rate and improving the positive rate in blood culture is essential for the correct diagnosis and management of sepsis. Chlorhexidine-alcohol was compared with povidone-iodine for the efficiency of disinfection. Positive rates were compared between the collection of 10 mL and 20 mL of blood per sample. Methods: The study population included adult patients ...
متن کاملChlorhexidine-alcohol versus povidone iodinealcohol antisepsis for catheter-related infection prevention: an open-label, multicentre, randomised controlled trial
Introduction Catheter-related infections are common life-threatening healthcare-associated infections whose incidence can be decreased by improving the quality of care. Optimisation of skin antisepsis is essential to prevent short-term catheter-related infections. We hypothesised that chlorhexidine-alcohol was more effective than povidone iodine-alcohol as a skin antiseptic for preventing infec...
