About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Pre-surgical Hand Washing in Reducing Bacterial Load, Using an Alcoholic Solution of Chlorhexidine Digluconate and Potassium Sorbate

The present study evaluates the effects of bactericidal load reduction after surgical hand antisepsis using the reference antiseptic product propanol- 1 60% as control versus a surgical hand antisepsis with addition of a solution of alcohol, chlorhexidine digluconate and potassium sorbate in order to test if pass the standard european norm 12791.

Read the detailed description

The investigators conducted a crossover clinical trial to evaluate the antiseptic effectiveness of surgical hand antisepsis using propan-ol-1 60% by using the reference antiseptic product propan-ol-1 60% as control versus a surgical hand antisepsis with addition of a solution of alcohol, chlorhexidine digluconate and potassium sorbate in order to test if pass the standard european norm 12791. Samples will be taken from the hands of each volunteer after a surgical hands antiseptic.

Conditions

Being tested
Hand antisepsis with Propanolol- 1 60%., Hand antisepsis with a solution of alcohol, chlorhexidine digluconate and potassium sorbate.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Reduction of bacterial load immediately after hand scrub

    Participants will scrub the antiseptic solution vigorously from hand to the wrists according with the standard handrub procedure

    Measured: Change from bacterial load at 5 minutes]

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Reduction of bacterial load after 3 hours of hand scrub

    Participants will scrub the antiseptic solution vigorously from hand to the wrists according with the standard handrub procedure after 3 hours

    Measured: Change from bacterial load at 3 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Hand antisepsis with Propanolol- 1 60%. and Hand antisepsis with a solution of alcohol, chlorhexidine digluconate and potassium sorbate. in people with Antisepsis, run by Centro Ortopedico y Quirurgico del Pie.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Ricardo Becerro de Bengoa Vallejo (+34 670678145, ribebeva@ucm.es), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Reduction of bacterial load immediately after hand scrub (time frame: Change from bacterial load at 5 minutes]). 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 24 Dec 2020.
