Chlorhexidine-alcohol versus povidone iodine for surgical-site antisepsis This randomized controlled trial compared the efficacy of ChloraPrep (2% chlorhexidine gluconate/70% isopropyl alcohol) versus povidone iodine scrub and paint in preventing surgical site infections (SSIs) in 849 patients undergoing clean-contaminated surgery. Results showed ChloraPrep reduced SSIs by 41% compared to povidone iodine, with lower rates of both superficial and deep incisional infections. ChloraPrep was more protective against SSIs across all surgery types studied. The study demonstrates ChloraPrep is superior to povid

- 1. Chlorhexidine-alcohol versus povidone iodine for surgical-site antisepsis Darouiche RO, Wall MJ, Itani KMF, Otterson MF, Webb AL, Carrick MM, Miller HJ, Awad SS, Crosby CT, Mosier MC, Alsharif A, Berger DH New England Journal of Medicine 2010; 362: 18-26 Background The patients skin is a major source of pathogens causing surgical-site infection (SSI); optimisation of pre-operative skin antisepsis may decrease post-operative infections No published randomised studies have, however, compared the effect of one antiseptic preparation with another on the incidence of SSIs Since Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines recommend the use of 2% chlorhexidine-containing products for cleansing the site of insertion of vascular catheters, a similar approach for pre-operative skin antisepsis could also be optimal Aim To compare the efficacy of ChloraPrep (2% chlorhexidine gluconate / 70% isopropyl alcohol) applicators versus povidone iodine scrub and paint in preventing SSIs Methods Prospective, randomised, multicentre study of 849 adult patients undergoing clean- contaminated surgery (gastrointestinal, thoracic, gynaecological or urological) Standard-of-care preventive measures (such as administering systemic prophylactic antibiotics) were universally enforced Pre-operative antiseptic cleansing of the skin was carried out using either ChloraPrep applicators or povidone iodine scrub and paint The primary endpoint was the occurrence of any SSI within 30 days of surgery
- 2. Results ChloraPrep reduced SSIs after clean-contaminated surgery by 41% as compared with povidone iodine scrub and paint 20 Incidence of SSIs (% patients) p=0.004 15 16.1 10 9.5 5 0 Povidone iodine ChloraPrep n=440 n=409 When comparing specific types of infection, ChloraPrep was significantly more protective than povidone iodine against both superficial incisional infections (52% reduction) and deep incisional infections (67% reduction) 10 Incidence of p=0.008 incisional infections (% patients) 8 8.6 p=0.49 6 4 p=0.05 4.2 2 3.0 0 1.0 Povidone iodine n=440 Deep incisional Superficial ChloraPrep n=409 infection incisional infection
- 3. Lower rates of SSI were observed in the ChloraPrep group than in the povidone iodine group for each of the seven types of operations studied 35 Incidence of SSIs by surgery type (%) 30 29.4 25 22.0 20 20.7 15 15.1 10 11.5 9.3 9.8 8.6 7.0 5 4.6 4.5 2.5 0 0 0 Povidone iodine n=191 n=186 n=54 n=44 n=34 n=41 n=29 n=26 n=57 n=44 n=40 n=42 n=35 n=26 ChloraPrep Colorectal Biliary Small Gastro- Thoracic Gynaecologic Urologic intestinal esophogeal The number needed to treat with ChloraPrep instead of povidone iodine in order to prevent one case of SSI was approximately 17 Conclusions ChloraPrep is superior to povidone iodine in preventing wound infections after clean-contaminated surgery The superior protection afforded by ChloraPrep may be attributed to the rapid, residual and persistent antimicrobial activity despite exposure to bodily fluids of the combination of 2% chlorhexidine and alcohol
