Comparison of central-line-associated bloodstream infections between central venous catheters lined by combined chlorhexidine and silver sulfadiazine versus silver ionotrophes alone: A before-after-before retrospective study

Comparison of central-line-associated bloodstream infections between central venous catheters lined by combined chlorhexidine and silver sulfadiazine versus silver ionotrophes alone: A before-after-before retrospective study

A before-after-before direct comparison between catheters lined with chlorhexidine and silver sulfadiazine (CHSS) versus silver ionotrophes (SI) with a primary objective of comparison of rate of central-line-associated infection (CLABSI) in three 10-month windows. The CHSS catheters were associated...

Zusammenfassung:A before-after-before direct comparison between catheters lined with chlorhexidine and silver sulfadiazine (CHSS) versus silver ionotrophes (SI) with a primary objective of comparison of rate of central-line-associated infection (CLABSI) in three 10-month windows. The CHSS catheters were associated with a lower rate of CLABSI.
