Central venous catheter infections are common preventable adverse events among hospital
patients. Microbes may enter catheter hubs, also known as needleless connectors, and result
in downstream contamination. This study aims to compare alcohol disinfection of catheter hubs
to disinfection with chlorhexidine gluconate in alcohol, which has been proven to be a
superior disinfectant at the site of central venous catheter insertion. Scrub duration of
central venous catheter hubs will also be evaluated.
