Importance of CHG Baths for Invasive Lines, Catheters, Surgical Patients, and Monitoring Compliance

This project focuses on the use of chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) bathing for patients with invasive lines and post-surgical patients. The purpose of this project was to find if CHG bathing is an effective solution to reducing infection risk. This project shows the research behind CHG bathing and how it can be used for these specific patient populations and reduces healthcare-acquired infections. CHG bathing has been shown to dramatically reduce infections.
