Preop skin antiseptic in fracture fixation: Which is better?

01 Apr 2024 by

In patients undergoing fixation of a closed lower limb or pelvic fracture, iodine povacrylex in alcohol appears to be a better option than chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) in alcohol as preoperative skin antiseptic to prevent surgical site infection (SSI). Among those with open upper limb or lower limb fracture, outcomes were similar for both solutions, the PREPARE* trial suggests.
