Antiseptic vs. soap: which wash best protects sick kids from infection?

NCT ID NCT04117776

Summary

This study aimed to find out if washing children in the intensive care unit with special antiseptic pads is better at reducing skin bacteria than washing with regular mild soap. It involved 34 children who were hospitalized for at least five days. Researchers took skin samples before and after washes to measure bacteria levels and see which method worked better and for how long.
