NR 505 Week 3 Assignment: Research Summary Table: Reducing Surgical Site Infections (SSIs) with Frequent HCG Bathing.RESEARCH SUMMARY TABLE: REDUCING SSIs WITH CHG BATHING 2 Reducing Surgical Site I... nfections (SSIs) with Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) Bathing - PICO Question: Does increasing frequency of chlorhexidine baths preoperatively decrease the incidences of surgical site infections post-operatively?For patients undergoing surgery or surgical procedures, one of the most prevalent complication factor is an infection of the surgical site. One of the recommended practice guidelines by the CDCP (2011) is preoperative chlorhexidine gluconate baths or showers prior to surgery or invasive procedures. The PICO question used for the summary table is: Does increasing frequency of chlorhexidine baths preoperatively decrease the incidences of surgical site infections post-operatively? The search strategy included looking for articles that were from the past five years and scholarly reviewed. When searching I omitted articles that were a meta-analysis, systemic review, or integrative reviews. I looked for articles that were evaluating the effectiveness of chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) bathing in the reduction of SSIs. This was somewhat difficult as many of the articles were testing against certain types of bacteria, or comparative studies among products. The articles I found included three randomized cohort trials and one meta-analysis of 16 published studies, two of which were chosen by the CDCP in 2015 as base support for revision of their guidelines.
