	Chlorhexidine Gluconate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chlorhexidine Gluconate is an antiseptic used as an active ingredient in mouthwash designed to kill dental plaque and other oral bacteria.
		Chlorhexidine Gluconate-based products are usually utilized to combat or prevent gum diseases such as gingivitis.
		Chlorhexidine Gluconate is also used in non-dental applications, most notably under the brand name Hibiclens, to combat both gram positive and gram negative microbes.

		From these studies, the combination of 1% zinc gluconate, 0.2% zinc acetate and 0.2% zinc lactate is superior to all single zinc salts tested and to other zinc salt combinations tested in preventing the penetration of the dye through the lubricant base and its binding to the surface of the skin.
		Because zinc gluconate has been shown to prevent latex allergies, this salt was tested alone and also in combination with zinc lactate and zinc acetate, which represented one of the better combinations of zinc salts identified in example 2 and still contained an amount of zinc gluconate sufficient to protect against allergic reactions to latex.
		To demonstrate this synergism between incroquat and chlorhexidine gluconate and benzalkonium chloride, gels with or without chlorhexidine gluconate and benzalkonium chloride or with or without incroquat were examined for the rapidity with which they could kill bacteria in culture.

		Several recent trials have compared the efficacy of povidine-iodine with chlorhexidine gluconate in reducing catheter colonization and bloodstream infection with mixed results.
		The summary relative risk of bloodstream infection for all vascular catheters was 0.44 (95% CI: 0.25-0.78), indicating a significant benefit in patients using chlorhexidine gluconate.
		However, given that the cost of chlorhexidine gluconate is currently 6-fold greater than the cost of povidone-iodine (30 cents vs 5 cents per 5 cc of solution), a formal economic evaluation will be required to determine the economic consequences of using chlorhexidine gluconate routinely for catheter site care.

		Site care with chlorhexidine was associated with a 51 percent reduction in the risk of catheter-related bloodstream infection compared with povidone-iodine.
		With this case scenario chlorhexidine gluconate should be considered as a replacement for povidone-iodine solution, particularly in patients at high risk for catheter-related bloodstream infection.

		Selective decontamination of the digestive tract (SDD) is a strategy used to decrease nosocomial infection rates aimed at the reduction of aerobic bacterial colonization of the oropharyngeal and intestinal surfaces without altering anaerobic flora.
		Our study was designed to test the hypothesis that the perioperative use of the inexpensive and minimally labor-intensive twice-daily application of 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) oral rinse can reduce nosocomial infection rates in patients undergoing open heart surgery.

		The objective of the study was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of using chlorhexidine gluconate and povidone iodine for vascular catheter insertion site care, to clarify for decision-makers the clinical and economic consequences of using each of these solutions.
		The authors reported that different types of chlorhexidine gluconate solution were used in the individual trials from which the measure of effectiveness was derived.
		They also estimated the incremental cost of chlorhexidine gluconate over povidone iodine under a variety of clinical situations, as different packages and amounts of povidone-iodine solution are used for catheter site care, and alcohol solution is sometimes applied before the catheter site is disinfected with povidone iodine.

		The good news is that use of chlorhexidine gluconate in place of the current standard solution (povidone iodine) to clean the site of catheter insertion reduces the risk of catheter-related bloodstream infection by half, according to a study supported in part by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (HS11540).
		Based on the model, they estimated that use of chlorhexidine rather than povidone reduced central catheter-related bloodstream infections by half (a decline from 31 to 15 cases per 1,000 catheters) and decreased infection-related deaths by 0.23 percent at a savings of $113 per catheter used.
