Comparative Study of 2% Chlorhexidine Gluconate in 70% Isopropyl Alcohol Against 10% Sodium Hypochlorite as Skin Antiseptics in Human Volunteers
Abstract
The physicians have few options for skin antisepsis. Alternatives for common use antiseptics are costly or ineffective. In order to have more options, this study is needed. The investigators want to know if there are differences between the use of 2% chlorhexidine gluconate in 70% isopropyl alcohol or 10% sodium hypochlorite.
Conditions: Infectious Diseases.
Primary outcome: Comparison of the efficacy of 2% chlorhexidine gluconate in 70% isopropyl alcohol and 10% sodium hypochlorite.
Enrollment: 30 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 30 participants or records.
