Popis: International audience; Background: Multimodal analgesia, including a regional technique using perineural catheters (PNCs), is recommended for the treatment of moderate-to-severe acute postoperative pain. Perineural catheters are at risk of bacterial colonisation. In this study, we compared the cutaneous antiseptic efficacy of 2% alcoholic chlorhexidine and povidone-iodine-alcohol for preventing the bacterial colonisation of PNCs in orthopaedic surgery. Methods: We performed a randomised, controlled trial, comparing two cutaneous antisepsis strategies, one based on 2% alcoholic chlorhexidine and the other on povidone-iodine-5% alcohol, for placed PNCs before orthopaedic surgery. The primary endpoint was the incidence of catheter bacterial colonisation (threshold > 1000 colony-forming units/ml). The secondary endpoints were the incidence of catheter-related infections and the adverse effects of the antiseptic solutions. Results: From November 2016 to May 2018, we included 113 patients in this study. The use of alcoholic chlorhexidine was associated with a lower incidence of catheter colonisation (15.5% (n = 9) versus 32.7% (n = 18); OR: 0.28 [0.09-0.77], p = 0.01). No catheter-related infections or adverse effects of antiseptic solutions were observed in either group. The risk factors associated with colonisation were a duration of catheter use ≥ 3 days (p = 0.04) and obesity (p = 0.005). The most frequently identified bacterium was Staphylococcus epidermidis. Conclusion: Skin disinfection with 2% alcoholic chlorhexidine decreases bacterial colonisation rates for placed perineural catheters.
