Preoperative Chlorhexidine Gluconate Bathing on a Military Medical-Surgical Unit.

Abstract：

INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM:Surgical site infections (SSIs) are associated with increased length of hospital stays, poor patient outcomes, and increased health care costs making prevention of SSI a high priority for the U.S. Military Health Care System. The focus of this project was to develop and pilot a preoperative antiseptic bathing regimen on an inpatient medical-surgical telemetry unit using 4% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG), and to compare SSI rates with this new protocol to previous SSI rates on the unit. MATERIALS AND METHODS:A literature review guided the development of the protocol and clinical question. A unit project was conducted using SSI rates from an inpatient military medical-surgical telemetry unit over 4 yr. From 2014 to 2016, 3 yr before implementing the protocol, a non-standardized CHG scrub was compared to 12 mo after implementing the standardized 4% CHG protocol in 2017 using up to four daily washings (three evenings and one morning surgery) on inpatient admissions to the unit. SSI rates were compared. RESULTS:After implementing a 4-d preoperative bathing regimen with 4% CHG for patients scheduled for surgery, SSI rates decreased from an average rate of 0.0072 infections (7.2 infections per 1,000 surgeries) to 0.0035 infections (3.5 infections per 1,000 surgeries) in the subsequent year of data collection. Although not a statistically significant change, further analysis using a Bayesian Poisson regression model found an 84% probability the new protocol would lower SSI rate by 1 or more cases per 1,000 surgeries on this inpatient unit. CONCLUSION:The findings suggest the proposed approach to control infection that may reduce the number of SSIs on a military medical-surgical unit, but this needs to be demonstrated through further longitudinal research on military surgical units.
