Chlorhexidine and povidone-iodine: Unmasking the unknown in catheter-related infection prevention, a narrative review
Healthcare-associated infections remain a major concern, with vascular access devices contributing substantially to infection risk. Effective skin disinfection is essential for preventing catheter-related infections (CRIs). This narrative review compares the efficacy and safety of chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) and povidone-iodine (PVI), while also addressing often-underexamined factors such as product availability, application techniques, antimicrobial resistance and environmental impact. Evidence supports the use of 2 % CHG in 70 % isopropyl alcohol as the most effective strategy to reduce CRIs, although PVI remains an alternative in patients with CHG intolerance or in low-resource settings. Environmental analyses highlight the higher persistence and potential ecological risk of CHG compared with PVI. Despite widespread guidelines, significant discrepancies persist in recommended concentrations, application methods, and target populations. Based on literature synthesis, we propose standardising the use of 2 % CHG-IPA where feasible, developing tailored recommendations for high-risk groups, and incorporating environmental and economic considerations into future infection prevention strategies.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Infection and Public Health, first official journal of the Saudi Arabian Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs, King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences and the Saudi Association for Public Health, aims to be the foremost scientific, peer-reviewed journal encompassing infection prevention and control, microbiology, infectious diseases, public health and the application of healthcare epidemiology to the evaluation of health outcomes. The point of view of the journal is that infection and public health are closely intertwined and that advances in one area will have positive consequences on the other.
The journal will be useful to all health professionals who are partners in the management of patients with communicable diseases, keeping them up to date. The journal is proud to have an international and diverse editorial board that will assist and facilitate the publication of articles that reflect a global view on infection control and public health, as well as emphasizing our focus on supporting the needs of public health practitioners.
It is our aim to improve healthcare by reducing risk of infection and related adverse outcomes by critical review, selection, and dissemination of new and relevant information in the field of infection control, public health and infectious diseases in all healthcare settings and the community.
