New treatment option for Infection, Hospital
Official title Hydrogen Peroxide and Ultraviolet Light for Disinfecting Surfaces in Intensive Care Units
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07233837
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) remain a major problem in intensive care units (ICUs), driven by environmental contamination with multidrug-resistant organisms that persist despite routine manual cleaning. While hydrogen peroxide aerosolization and ultraviolet-C light devices have shown promise in reducing surface contamination, current evidence is inconsistent, mostly derived from single-center studies, and rarely linked to patient-centered outcomes.
