Article Synopsis
- HAIs, especially those acquired in ICUs, are a major health risk, primarily due to multidrug-resistant organisms.
- The study compared infection rates in a tertiary ICU across three periods: traditional soap-water bathing, chlorhexidine (CHX) bathing, and back to soap-water.
- Results showed that bathing with CHX significantly reduced overall infection rates, particularly catheter-related infections, and decreased multidrug-resistant bacteria prevalence, suggesting that CHX bathing is an effective strategy for reducing HAIs in critically ill patients.
