Healthcare Associated Infection Clinical Trial
Official title:
Ultra Violet-C Light Evaluation as an Adjunct to Removing Multi-Drug Resistant Organisms (UVCLEAR-MDRO)
This study examines the impact of UV-C light disinfection as an adjunct to routine daily and
discharge patient room cleaning on patient infection and colonization with hospital
associated bacteria.
Patient rooms are counted as enrolled since consent was waived and the number of participants
is unknown. Total of 83 rooms.
Effective cleaning of the patient environment (the patient room during hospital stay) is
subject to human factors and unfortunately is often inconsistent or inadequate. Patient rooms
that have residual bacteria after routine environmental cleaning can act as reservoirs for
multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) and contribute to the spread of MDROs from patient to
patient. In the setting of an increased focus on Healthcare-associated Infections such as
Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) and multidrug-resistant Gram negative and Gram positive
organisms such as carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), vancomycin-resistant
Enterococcus (VRE) and methicillin-resistant Staphlococcus aureus (MRSA), Ultra-Violet C
(UV-C) light has been shown to be a safe, effective way to decrease the burden of MDROs in
patient rooms. However, studies examining the effectiveness of UV-C light when used post
daily and discharge patient room cleaning are lacking.
This study is a cluster, randomized, two-period cross over trial to investigate the
relationship between environmental decontamination with UV-C light and transmission of VRE
and other healthcare-associated bacteria. It investigates the hypothesis that UV-C in
addition to daily cleaning leads to decreased patient acquisition of healthcare-associated
bacteria.
This study is important to further advance hospital-based infection prevention knowledge of
the impact of UV-C light for environmental cleaning.
Patient rooms are counted as enrolled since consent was waived and the number of participants
is unknown. Total of 83 rooms.
