About this study

Official title: Preoperative Bath in Patients Submitted to Hip Arthroplasty: Randomized Clinical Trial

Clinical trial for prevention, randomized, controlled, blinded, parallel, with three arms which purpose is verify the effects of nursing intervention preoperative bathing with 4% chlorhexidine gluconate, 10% Povidone iodine (PVPI) and soap without antiseptic, for the prevention of surgical site infection (SSI) in patients undergoing hip arthroplasty.

Read the detailed description

Despite the recommendation in several guidelines of preoperative bathing with 4% chlorhexidine gluconate as a measure for the prevention of SSI, there is no evidence in the literature that support this practice. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of nursing intervention: preoperative bath using 4% chlorhexidine gluconate solutions, 10% povidone iodine degermante or soap without antiseptic for the prevention of SSI in patients undergoing elective hip arthroplasty surgery. The specific objectives are to compare the incidence of SSI in the three interventions, to assess the most effective intervention for the prevention of surgical infection and to estimate the frequency of allergic reactions caused by the use of the solutions. Two intervention groups (4% Chlorhexidine gluconate and PVPI10%) and a control group (without antiseptic soap) composed of 52 patients undergoing hip arthroplasty in each group will be randomized to perform the baths in the period from may 2015 to june 2017. Before the intervention, nasal swabs will be collected of patients to investigate colonization by Staphylococcus aureus.

The expected result is lower ISC rate with the proposed measures.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 4% Chlorhexidine gluconate, 10% PVPI degermante and Soap without antiseptic in people with Surgical Wound Infection, run by Federal University of Minas Gerais at 1 site in Brazil.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Brazil. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Infection of Surgical Site (SSI) (time frame: During the first 90 days after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Feb 2019.
