Brief Summary:
We conducted a retrospective observational cohort study assessing the relationship between regular bathing using 2 CHG wipes every other day and the occurrence of central line-associated infections CLABSI in patients within the medical intensive care unit MICU
Detailed Description:
This study defined the post-intervention period as July 1 2017 to June 30 2022 During this period one of the three medical intensive care units MICUs in NTUH implemented chlorhexidine gluconate CHG bathing as part of their daily care routine CHG group This decision was made in response to a higher incidence rate of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus VRE bacteremia observed in that particular MICU during the preceding six months pre-intervention period January 1 2017 to June 30 2017 compared to the other two MICUs The remaining two MICUs continued to provide usual care which involved bathing patients with towels soaked in water and soap on a daily basis
