Resumen

PELAYO-ALONSO, Raquel et al. Efficacy of chlorhexidine gluconate dressing on catheter-related infections in hemodialysis. Enferm Nefrol [online]. 2023, vol.26, n.3, pp.232-239.  Epub 19-Feb-2024. ISSN 2255-3517.  https://dx.doi.org/10.37551/s2254-28842023022.

Introduction:

The use of central venous catheters for hemodialysis is associated with a higher incidence of infectious complications, leading Clinical Practice Guidelines to recommend various strategies to reduce such complications, with no clear indication of the dressing to use for catheter exit site care.

Objectives:

To compare the infection rate related to the catheter exit site using two different protocols: dressing with 2% chlorhexidine gluconate versus 2% chlorhexidine solution, both covered with self-adhesive semi-permeable polyurethane dressing for central venous catheters used in hemodialysis.

Material and Method:

An experimental, controlled, randomized study was conducted in hemodialysis patients with central venous catheters to compare two care protocols. The control group received a 2% chlorhexidine solution covered with a self-adhesive semi-permeable polyurethane dressing, while the intervention group received a dressing with 2% chlorhexidine gluconate. Socio-clinical and infection-related data were collected, and descriptive and inferential analyses were performed.

Results:

A total of 50 patients were studied, with 25 in each group. The intervention group had two exit site infections, while the control group had twelve cases (OR: 0.176, 95% CI: 0.039-0.790; p=0.013). The intervention group had one case of bacteremia compared to two cases in the control group (OR: 0.533, 95% CI: 0.048-5.892; p=ns).

Conclusion:

Dressing with 2% chlorhexidine gluconate is a protective measure against exit site infection compared to dressing with 2% chlorhexidine solution and polyurethane dressing.
