Summary

This study tests whether cleaning hands with chlorhexidine or alcohol rubbing is better at preventing infections in premature babies (under 37 weeks) in the NICU. About 100 newborns will take part, and researchers will check their blood for infections at 7, 14, and 28 days after birth. The goal is to find the most effective way to keep these vulnerable infants safe from hospital-acquired infections.
