NCT ID NCT04117776
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 17, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study tested whether daily washing with a special antiseptic pad (chlorhexidine) reduces skin bacteria better than regular mild soap in children staying in the intensive care unit. Researchers took skin samples before and after washing from 34 children. The goal was to see which method keeps the skin cleaner and for how long, which may help prevent infections from medical devices like central lines.
