Antiseptic Use and Dressing Application - Full Text View

Purpose

The purposes of the study are:

To compare the local efficacy (skin colonization) of 2 commercialized antiseptics used for the disinfection of the dressing application for an epicutaneocavous catheter (EPI).
To evaluate whether the bacteria responsible for nosocomial infection is comparable to the flora diagnosed at the EPI site.

Further study details as provided by Maternite Regionale Universitaire:

Primary Outcome Measures:

Efficacy on skin colonization of two commercially available antiseptics [ Time Frame: 2 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

In case of nosocomial infection, relationship with skin bacteria [ Time Frame: 2 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment:	372
Study Start Date:	September 2006
Estimated Study Completion Date:	October 2008
Estimated Primary Completion Date:	September 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Intervention Details:

Detersion and antiseptic application when changing catheter dressing

Detailed Description:

Epicutaneocavous catheter is a significant risk factor for nosocomial infection in newborn infants. These infections have been related to local bacterial colonisation. Therefore thorough disinfection should lower the risk of nosocomial infection. However, the local efficacy of antiseptic use has not yet been clearly evaluated in this situation.

Accepts Healthy Volunteers:	No

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

All infants admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Epicutaneocavous catheter insertion indication
