Meeting/Event Information

The safety and efficacy of Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) is well documented in a variety of clinical settings and populations, with numerous in vitro and clinical studies. CHG use has become a major component of evidenced-based bundle practices for reducing Healthcare-Acquired Infections (HAIs), like daily CHG bathing. With competing demands on the bedside clinician, staff turnover, limited resources, and post-pandemic burnout, it’s understandable that patient bathing has lost its lather. This program will review evidenced-based CHG bathing strategies and the impact to the healthcare facility, the healthcare  worker, and the patient.

Learner Objectives:

 Understand how to create a culture that supports the practice of fundamental patient care.

Identify the essential role of bathing with Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) in evidence-based bundle strategies for preventing Healthcare associated infections (HAIs).

Recognize the financial and psychological benefits of a cleansing bath for all hospitalized patients.
