NCT ID: NCT00223002 Completed - Analgesia, Epidural Clinical Trials

Chlorhexidine Versus Povidone-Iodine for Prevention of Epidural Needle Contamination in the Parturient

Start date: November 2004
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Infection after epidural catheter placement is fortunately rare. When it does happen, the affected person can become seriously ill. This study examines which skin disinfectant, chlorhexidine or povidone-iodine, decreases the number of bacteria that can be grown from the skin washed with each disinfectant prior to placing an epidural catheter for pain control in labour.
