Issue Date: | 9-Nov-2021 | Publisher: | John Wiley & Sons Ltd. | Journal: | BJS open | Abstract: | Surgical site infection (SSI) is the most common and costly complication of surgery. International guidelines recommend topical alcoholic chlorhexidine (CHX) before surgery. However, upper limb surgeons continue to use other antiseptics, citing a lack of applicable evidence, and concerns related to open wounds and tourniquets. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of different topical antiseptics before upper limb surgery. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12188/15634 | DOI: | 10.1093/bjsopen/zrab117 |
