To determine whether 2% chlorhexidine gluconate-70% isopropyl alcohol (CHX-IA) is superior to 10% aqueous povidone-iodine (PI) in preventing catheter-related blood stream infection (CR-BSI) when used to clean insertion sites before placing central venous catheters (CVCs) in preterm infants.
Randomised controlled trial.
Two neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).
Infants <31 weeks' gestation who had a CVC inserted.
Insertion site was cleaned with CHX-IA or PI. Caregivers were not masked to group assignment.
Primary outcome was CR-BSI determined by one microbiologist who was masked to group assignment. Secondary outcomes included skin reactions to study solution and thyroid dysfunction.
We enrolled 304 infants (CHX-IA 148 vs PI 156) in whom 815 CVCs (CHX-IA 384 vs PI 431) were inserted and remained in situ for 3078 (CHX-IA 1465 vs PI 1613) days. We found no differences between the groups in the proportion of infants with CR-BSI (CHX-IA 7% vs PI 5%, p=0.631), the proportion of CVCs complicated by CR-BSI or the rate of CR-BSI per 1000 catheter days. Skin reaction rates were low (<1% CVC insertion episodes) and not different between the groups. More infants in the PI group had raised thyroid-stimulating hormone levels and were treated with thyroxine (CHX-IA 0% vs PI 5%, p=0.003).
We did not find a difference in the rate of CR-BSI between preterm infants treated with CHX-IA and PI, and more infants treated with PI had thyroid dysfunction. However, our study was not adequately powered to detect a difference in our primary outcome and a larger trial is required to confirm our findings.
This study was registered with the EU clinical trials register before the first patient was enrolled (Eudract 2011-002962-19). (https://www.clinicaltrialsregister.eu).
确定在早产儿放置中心静脉导管(CVC)前,使用2%葡萄糖酸氯己定-70%异丙醇(CHX-IA)清洁穿刺部位,在预防导管相关血流感染(CR-BSI)方面是否优于10%聚维酮碘水溶液(PI)。
随机对照试验。
两个新生儿重症监护病房(NICU)。
孕周<31周且插入CVC的婴儿。
用CHX-IA或PI清洁穿刺部位。护理人员未对分组情况设盲。
主要结局为CR-BSI,由一名对分组情况设盲的微生物学家判定。次要结局包括对研究溶液的皮肤反应和甲状腺功能障碍。
我们纳入了304例婴儿(CHX-IA组148例 vs PI组156例),其中插入815根CVC(CHX-IA组384根 vs PI组431根),并留置3078天(CHX-IA组1465天 vs PI组1613天)。我们发现两组之间CR-BSI婴儿比例(CHX-IA组7% vs PI组5%,p = 0.631)、发生CR-BSI的CVC比例或每1000导管日的CR-BSI发生率无差异。皮肤反应率较低(<1%的CVC插入事件),且两组之间无差异。PI组更多婴儿促甲状腺激素水平升高并接受甲状腺素治疗(CHX-IA组0% vs PI组5%,p = 0.003)。
我们未发现CHX-IA和PI治疗的早产儿之间CR-BSI发生率存在差异,且更多接受PI治疗的婴儿出现甲状腺功能障碍。然而,我们的研究在检测主要结局差异方面的效能不足,需要更大规模的试验来证实我们的发现。
