Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators have few options for skin antisepsis. Alternatives for povidone-iodine, which is the most commonly used agent, are costly or ineffective. To have more options, this study is needed. The investigators want to know if there are difference between the use of 10% sodium hypochlorite or 10% povidone-iodine for skin antisepsis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Sodium hypochlorite at 10% has been widely used as antiseptic in patients on dialysis as well as for irrigation of wounds and burns. Since it has been used successfully in caring for the exit site of hemodialysis catheters, it is reasonable to propose its use for the insertion and care of central intravascular catheters, as well as for skin preparation before surgery. Alternatives for povidone-iodine, which is the agent most commonly used, are costly or ineffective. To have more options, this study is needed to know if 10% sodium hypochlorite is similar to the most common option for skin antisepsis.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Whole group of 48 volunteers

The arm is composed of 48 human volunteers to test 10% povidone-iodine (Isodine Solucion ®, Boehringer-Ingelheim Promeco, Mexico City), Hypochlorite 10% of electrochemical production (Exsept 10% ®, Pisa, Guadalajara, Mexico), and control.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

WHOLE GROUP OF 48 VOLUNTEERS

Intervention Type OTHER

Two antiseptics (10% povidone iodine and 10% sodium hypochlorite) and one control were tested as skin antiseptics. The intervention consisted of preparing the skin with the antiseptic or the control. The areas were approximately 25 cm2 on the forearm for each antiseptic or control. The antiseptic or control were applied in an outward circular motion using a swab that was soaked with the solution. The solution was then kept on the skin for 60 seconds before the bacterial culture was conducted. All volunteers were instructed to continue the use of neutral soap and shampoo without antiseptics during the follow-up period.
