A transparent polyurethane dressing (Bioclusive Transparent Dressing) was used to cover the insertion site in both study groups. Primary study outcomes evaluated were catheter tip colonization, CRBSI, and BSI without an identified source.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results.\u2003Seven hundred five neonates were enrolled in the trial, 335 randomized to receive the chlorhexidine dressing and 370 to skin disinfection with PI (controls). Neonates randomized to the antimicrobial dressing group were less likely to have colonized CVC tips than control neonates (15.0% vs 24.0%, relative risk [RR]: 0.6 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.5\u20130.9). Rates of CRBSI (3.8% vs 3.2%, RR: 1.2, CI: 0.5\u20132.7) and BSI without a source (15.2% vs 14.3%, RR: 1.1, CI: 0.8\u20131.5) did not differ between the 2 groups. Localized contact dermatitis from the antimicrobial dressing, requiring crossover into the PI treatment group, occurred in 15 (15.3%) of 98 exposed neonates weighing \u22641000 g. No neonates in the PI group developed contact dermatitis.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Conclusion.\u2003The novel chlorhexidine-impregnated dressing, replaced weekly, was as effective as cutaneous disinfection with 10% PI and redressing the site every 3 to 7 days for preventing CRBSI and BSI without a source in critically ill neonates requiring prolonged central venous access. The risk of local contact dermatitis under the chlorhexidine dressing limits its use in low birth weight infants who require prolonged central access during the first 2 weeks of life.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.107.6.1431","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,8,13]],"date-time":"2004-08-13T23:55:51Z","timestamp":1092441351000},"page":"1431-1436","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":237,"title":["A
