Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

This pilot study in our medical intensive care unit will evaluate the clinical and cost-effectiveness of an active surveillance program for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), compared to routine daily bathing with chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG)-impregnated cloths. Outcomes include rate of MRSA acquisition, and of other hospital-acquired infections (e.g., catheter-associated bloodstream infections).
