ABSTRACT
Few data are available on the efficacy of 0.5% aqueous sodium hypochlorite (SH) for skin disinfection before peripheral catheter insertion. A total of 239 patients were randomly assigned to either one application of SH alone or one application of SH preceded by one application of 70% ethanol (ET-SH). Catheter colonization, defined as a catheter tip culture growing >1000 cfu of a micro-organism per millilitre, occurred in 29 patients (33% of 89 colonizations per 1000 catheter-days) in the SH group and in 31 patients (33% of 126 colonizations per 1000 catheter-days) in the ET-SH group.
