A recent study has shown that bathing patients with chlorhexidine is slightly more effective than using contact precautions in preventing the spread of MRSA, according to an article on the Becker's Infection Control and Clinical Quality website.
A study presented at the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America meeting found fewer MRSA contamination events when patients were bathed with chlorhexidine compared to when patients were subject to contact precautions.
Researchers recorded nine MRS environmental contamination events with contact precautionsand seven when the only precaution was bathing patients.
