Article Synopsis
- Surgical site infections (SSIs) and catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) are rising due to ineffective disinfection practices with common antiseptics like chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) and povidone-iodine (PVP-I).
- The scoping review aimed to fill the knowledge gap regarding the disinfection efficacy of a newer antiseptic, olanexidine gluconate (OLG), which was developed to combat bacteria resistant to CHG and PVP-I.
- While OLG demonstrates strong antibacterial effects, particularly against resistant strains, evidence supporting its effectiveness in preventing SSIs and CRBSIs in clinical settings remains limited, indicating a need for more comprehensive research.
Heart failure typically manifests with exertional dyspnea or limb edema. Old age, underlying heart disease, and coronary risk factors are known risk factors for heart failure. Thus, congestive heart failure is rarely considered as a differential diagnosis of chronic cough in a previously healthy young person.
