چکیده

FIGURE 5. Suppression of regrowth on prepped subclavian sites with the two CHG-impregnated dressings in healthy volunteers. At day 7, the new integrated CHG transparent dressing showed significantly lower regrowth post prep compared to the control (p<0.0001). At day 10, both CHG dressings showed significantly lower regrowth (p<0.0003). There was a statistically significant difference between the new integrated CHG-impregnated transparent dressing and the CHG-impregnated sponge dressing at day 7 ( log10 cfu 0.80, P<0.02). 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 4
