Nasal Decolonization of Dialysis Patients Noses
Sponsor: Marin L. Schweizer, PhD
Summary
Hemodialysis patients are at high-risk for infections, specifically Staphylococcus aureus infections. The investigators propose to 1) implement a novel intervention (nasal povidone-iodine at each hemodialysis session) to prevent S. aureus infections using a stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial, and 2) evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of this intervention. If successful, this intervention can be used among hemodialysis patients, and evaluated in other high-risk patient populations to prevent S. aureus infections.
Official title: Povidone-iodine to Stop Access-related Infections and Transmission of Staphylococcus Aureus (PAINTS)
