"Interestingly, one study does suggest that one-time cleansing with
chlorhexidine reduces neonatal mortality when compared to dry cord care; however, most of the existing evidence suggests that antiseptic treatment does not offer a benefit over dry cord care," they wrote.
There was significant difference in the zone of inhibition of
chlorhexidine, black tea (Aqueous), black tea (Alcoholic), oolong tea (Alcoholic), oolong tea (Aqueous) in the dilution of 1:2, 1:4 & 1:8 respectively.
Palliative management with topical steroid,
chlorhexidine gluconate-based mouthwashes or NSAIDs is recommended with a follow-up examination of at least 4 weeks.
Conclusion:
Chlorhexidine alcohol solution is superior to povidone iodine in reducing surgical site infection when used for preparing skin before surgery in clean contaminated cases.
A comparison of 2.0%
chlorhexidine gluconate and 5.25% sodium hypochlorite as antimicrobial endodontic irrigants.
ARCOS & GOLDMAN (2010) evaluated the effectiveness of applying 2%
chlorhexidine gluconate + 70% alcohol and 2% iodine tincture + 70% alcohol antisepsis protocols to humans.
After the solid media achieved, the media were perforated to make holes as the storage of the extract and
chlorhexidine gluconate.
Several strategies are employed to reduce CRBSIs; these include skin antisepsis, prescription of prophylactic antibiotics, the use of antimicrobial catheters, implementation of catheter care bundles,
chlorhexidine baths, and addition of antimicrobials (in the form of antimicrobial locks or dressings) to catheters.2
Preoperative abdominal preparation with
chlorhexidineTopical antiseptics (
chlorhexidine gluconate) and systemic antibiotics are the most commonly used antimicrobial agents to prevent these complications.
