Blood Culture Contamination Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparison of Blood Culture Contamination Rates Between the Use of Povidine Iodine/Alcohol for Skin Antisepsis and the Use of Chlorhexidine/Alcohol (ChloraPrep) for Skin Antisepsis: An Open-label, Randomized Controlled Trial
In this study, blood culture contamination rates will be compared in patients who used povidine/iodine-alcohol and chlorhexidine/alcohol, which were applied before the blood culture was taken by randomized two methods routinely used in this study.
Detection of the pathogen in blood cultures as soon as possible reduces mortality significantly by providing timely initiation of treatment1. However, when skin antisepsis is not performed properly, an increase in the rate of contamination is observed. In this study, it was planned to compare the contamination rate of two antiseptics, povidine iodine/alcohol and Chlorhexidine/alcohol used as skin antisepsis, in the blood culture taken. Full randomization" will be applied in the study. Multiples of 3 of the patients to be included in the study will be included in the "Chloraprep" group, the remaining patients and multiples of 2 will be included in the "povidine/iodine" group. . According to the number of samples determined for each institution, patients who came to the outpatient clinic during data collection and accepted to participate in the study will be randomly selected. ;
