摘要

Catheter-related infections pose a significant risk to critically ill patients, making it crucial to select an appropriate sterilization solution. However, there is currently no consensus on the use of chlorhexidine-containing solutions or povidone-iodine (PVI) and the auxiliary ingredients in solutions. Meta-analysis. PubMed, EMBASE, OVID, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases. Two reviewers independently performed study screening and data extraction and used the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool 2.0 (RoB 2.0) for quality assessment. We included 10 fully published RCTs with 12 pairs of comparisons, which included a total of 9,689 catheters. The analysis revealed that chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG)-containing solutions were significantly more effective than PVI in preventing CRBSI (RR = 0.460, 95% CI 0.323–0.654, P < 0.001), catheter-related sepsis (RR = 0.419, 95% CI 0.206–0.853, P = 0.016), and catheter colonization (RR = 0.409, 95% CI 0.266–0.630, P < 0.001). Further subgroup analysis demonstrated that, regardless of the concentration of CHG (≤ 1% or > 1%), it was superior to PVI in preventing CRBSI and catheter colonization (RR = 0.271 ~ 0.585, 95% CI 0.110 ~ 0.400‒0.590‒0.926). CHG-alcohol is most effective at preventing catheter-related infections, especially those caused by 70% alcohol. Compared to PVI, CHG-70% alcohol is the most effective disinfectant for preventing catheter-related infections, as it combines the rapid disinfection and evaporation properties of alcohol with the prolonged antimicrobial effects of chlorhexidine.
