We proposed to perform a prospective randomized controlled trial to study the effect of the use of a commercially-available chlorhexidine-impregnated sponge (Biopatch) as part of central venous catheter care on catheter-related bloodstream infections among patients in two Barnes-Jewish Hospital ICUs.

Study Design: | Treatment, Randomized, Open Label, Placebo Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study |
Official Title: | Reducing Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infections in the ICU With a Chlorhexidine-Impregnated Sponge (BIOPATCH) |
Estimated Enrollment: | 700 |
Study Start Date: | February 2006 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | February 2008 |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |

1: Placebo Comparator
Patients in the placebo arm will continue to get the standard catheter care protocol without the use of the chlorhexidine-impregnated foam dressing.
|
Device: Chlorhexidine-impregnated foam dressing
Patients in the treatment arm will have the Biopatch incorporated into their catheter care protocol. ICU nurses were instructed on the proper use of this novel dressing/sponge. Catheter dressing changes will only be done every 7 days unless there is visible blood, soiling underneath the dressing, or if the dressing comes off.
