JAMA - Chlorhexidine Bathing to Prevent Infections

"Chlorhexidine Bathing and Health Care–Associated Infections"  

"Conclusion and Relevance  In this pragmatic trial, daily bathing with chlorhexidine did not reduce the incidence of health care–associated infections including CLABSIs, CAUTIs, VAP, or C difficile. These findings do not support daily bathing of critically ill patients with chlorhexidine."
