NCT ID NCT06112626
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 37 times
Summary
This study tested whether showing hospital patients a short video about how to bathe with chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) improves how often they do it correctly. CHG bathing reduces the risk of serious bloodstream infections from central lines. The study involved about 1,000 patients and compared video education to standard written and verbal instructions. The main goal was to see if more patients followed the bathing instructions correctly.
