Abstract
Alcoholic chlorhexidine 2 % is recommended for the prevention of catheter infections. A retrospective study was conducted in a nutritional assistance unit in a cohort of patients with a long-term central venous route. The tolerance (number of skin reactions) and efficacy (number of infections/days of catheters) of this antiseptic used in repeated care in these patients were described.
