No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the current standard skin disinfectant solution for labour epidurals used at BC Women's Hospital to another common skin disinfectant and to the skin disinfectant solution recommended by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) prior to placing special intravenous lines. There is very little information available to guide doctors in deciding which is the best skin disinfectant for epidural analgesia. The study hypothesis is that the disinfectant solution recommended by the PHAC will be the most effective.
