Abstract
This study intended to assess the effectiveness of chlorhexidine 2% with transparent polyurethane (tegaderm) dressing on preventing infection and cost effectiveness among patient with central venous catheter from selected hospitals in Madurai. An experimental approach was used for this study. The design adopted for the study was Quasi Experimental post test only design. Purposive sampling technique was adopted for this study .The sample consisted of 60 patients, in that 30 were in Experimental group and 30 were in Control group. The experimental group was treated with 2% chlorhexidine with transparent polyurethane (tegaderm) dressing and the control group was treated with routine betadine dressing. Dressing was done once in a day for both the groups. The tool used for data collection procedure was MR VICTOR Tool for assessment of central venous catheter site infection. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used for the analysis of data. The major findings were, Moderate infection rate was found in experimental group was 1(3.3%) on 3rd day, whereas in control group 6(20%) had moderate infection. On the 6th day assessment showed only least 3 (10%) had moderate infection in experimental group, where as 10 (33.3%) had moderate infection in control group. The mean post test central venous catheter site infection score of experimental group for 6 days (0.56) was lower than the mean post central venous catheter site infection score of control group (0.73). The obtainer’s’ value of (2.86) in experimental group was lower than the obtained‘t’ value of control group (3.91), which was significant at 0.05 levels. The 2% chlorhexidine with transparent polyurethane (tegaderm) dressing found to be effective in reducing the central venous catheter site infection when compared to betadine gauze dressing. Transparent dressing (Rs.129.50/day) was costly when compared to betadine gauze dressing (Rs.80.50/day).
