Description:
The study examined the cost-effectiveness of chlorhexidine gluconate-impregnated sponges (CHIGIS) for arterial and central venous catheters for prevention of catheter-related infections in critically ill adults using data from a recent clinical trial. The authors concluded that the CHGIS strategy reduced the rate of MCRI and saved costs from the perspective of an intensive care unit. The analysis was appropriately carried out using a micro-costing approach alongside a randomised controlled trial. The authors’ conclusions appear robust.
