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).

Conditions

  • Central Line-associated Bloodstream Infection (CLABSI)

Interventions

OTHER

Chlorhexidine bathing

The procedure involved pouring an entire bottle (200ml) of 2% CHG solution (PBF Biotech, Taipei, Taiwan) onto a pre-packed set of eight single-use cotton wipes before each bathing session. A minimum of six wipes were required to thoroughly cover the entire body, including the bilateral upper and lower extremities, front and back of the trunk, perineum, and buttocks.
