- W2017896246 abstract "Thermally injured patients are at high risk for infections, including hospital acquired infections (HAIs). We modeled a twice-daily chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) bath protocol aimed at decreasing HAIs.Bathing with a 0.9% CHG solution in sterile water was provided twice daily as part of routine care. Institutional HAI prevention bundles were in place and did not change during the study. Baseline HAI rates were collected for 12 months before the quality study implementation. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention definitions for HAIs were used; our blinded Infection Control physician made each determination. This was an Institutional Review Board-exempt protocol.The study cohort included 203 patients before the quality trial and 277 patients after the quality trial. The median burn area was 25% of total body surface area. Baseline HAI rates were as follows: ventilator-associated pneumonia, 2.2 cases/1,000 ventilator-days; cathether-associated urinary tract infection, 2.7 cases/1,000 catheter-days; central line-associated bloodstream infection, 1.4 cases/1,000 device-days. With implementation of this protocol, the rates dropped to zero and have stayed at that level with the exception of 1 cathether-associated urinary tract infection. There were no untoward effects or observed delays in wound healing with this protocol. All of these changes were clinically significant, although not statistically significant; the study was not powered for statistical significance.Using this nurse-driven protocol, we decreased, in a sustainable manner, the HAI rate in our intensive care unit to zero. No integumentary difficulties or wound healing delays were related to this protocol." @default.
