Hub Cleansing to Prevent Hub Infection

Rush University Medical Center·interventional·Posted Mar 27, 2012·Updated Apr 18, 2016

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating 15 second scrub, 5 second scrub, and 2 other interventions for Bacteremia. Completed, enrolled 149 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Central venous catheter infections are common preventable adverse events among hospital patients. Microbes may enter catheter hubs, also known as needleless connectors, and result in downstream contamination. This study aims to compare alcohol disinfection of catheter hubs to disinfection with chlorhexidine gluconate in alcohol, which has been proven to be a superior disinfectant at the site of central venous catheter insertion. Scrub duration of central venous catheter hubs will also be evaluated.

Interventions

15 second scrubother

Scrub catheter hubs for 15 seconds before every access.

5 second scrubother

Scrub catheter hubs for 15 seconds before every access.

3.15% chlorhexidine/70% isopropyl alcoholdrug

3.15% chlorhexidine gluconate in 70% isopropyl alcohol pads will be used to disinfect catheter hubs prior to accessing central venous catheters during half of the study period.

70% isopropyl alcoholdrug

70% isopropyl alcohol pads will be used to disinfect catheter hubs prior to accessing central venous catheters for the other half of the study period.
