Chlorhexidine Bathing in a Tertiary Care Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: Impact on Central Line–Associated Bloodstream Infections

Abstract: BACKGROUND. Despite implementation of recommended best practices, our central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) rates remained high. Our objective was to describe the impact of chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) bathing on CLABSI rates in neonates.

“…It should be noted that the mean dwell time in their study was 14 d, compared to a mean dwell time in our group of infants of 8.8 d, with a median of 8 d and mode 6 d. None of the infants involved in our study developed CLABSI. Several centers have successfully implemented strategies for the reduction of CLABSIs with PICC line placement (21)(22)(23). While it is important to consider the risks of central line placement, the necessity of optimal nutrient delivery should also be considered.…”

“…Mengingat telah banyak penelitian terkait efektivitas sibin setiap hari dengan menggunakan chlorhexidine gluconate dalam pencegahan CLABSI pada orang dewasa di ruang ICU. (Quach et al, 2014b) menyebutkan bahwa kejadian CLABSI tetap tinggi di NICU RS Anak Montreal, Kanada meskipun telah menggunakan CHG saat prosedur pemasangan maupun dalam pemeliharaan CVC. Oleh karenanya, pada penelitiannya Quach dkk mencoba mengaplikasikan sibin harian menggunakan CHG di NICU.…”

“…The second hospital had a stable rate of CLABSI throughout the study period, with rates of 5.32/ 1,000 catheter days in 2009 and 6.39, 5.41, 2.65, and 4.35/1,000 catheter days for each of the following years, respectively (22). Additionally, we studied the levels of antibiotic resistance and clinical data to compare and identify differences between S. epidermidis isolates from the two hospitals.…”
