Brief Summary

This research aims to determine the most effective chlorhexidine concentration to be used in preventing peripheral venous catheter-associated infections. This research is a randomized controlled double-blinded experimental design. This research will conduct between July 2022-June 2023 with 96 intensive care patients at a state hospital in Turkey. The study sample consist of 96 new insertions of peripheral venous catheters.The study will carried out as a experimental trial to compare the efficacy 1%, 2% and 4% clorhexidine gluconate and 70% alcohol in preventing infections due to catheter administrations in patients. Patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria is randomized according to the randomization programme into three experimental groups and the control group. "Patient Information Form", "Catheter Information Form" and "Observational Form" will used to collect data.The vital findings and local infection findings of the patients that peripheral venous catheter is inserted will followed and recorded at pre-insertion and once every 24 hours for 96 hours. Culture analyze will performed from swab example taken from catheter entry location at pre-insertion,1st hour and pre removal of catheter.Data will analyzed in statistical program and p\<0,05 will considered as significant.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • H0

    Different concentrations of chlorhexidine solutions have no effect on preventing peripheral venous catheter-related infections. 1%, 2% and 4% of chlorhexidine-gluconate solutions will compared with the 70% alcohol for skin antisepsis of PVC in ICU patients. Specimens will collected by swabbing the peripheral venous catheter entry site from the patients within before,1st and 96th hours of catheterization, respectively. The culture incubate at 37 C overnight on EMB and sheep blod agar plate. Then, the reproduction of microorganisms will identified in the culture. The presence of colonization of microorganisms in EMB blood agar indicates that gram-negative microorganism growths. The presence of colonization of microorganisms in the sheep blood agar indicates that gram-positive microorganisms growths. The absence of colonization of microorganisms in both of blood agars indicates that there is no growth.
