Dear Brains Trust,
We are currently reviewing our pre-operative information that we provide our patients prior to their elective surgical procedure, more specifically colo-rectal surgery.We are particularly interested in what other facilities who undertake this type of surgery advise their patients regarding antiseptic body washes.
Specifically:
* when are you asking your patients to perform the wash (eg day of surgery only, the night before and day of surgery)?
* the type of antiseptic body wash (eg chlorhexidine, no antiseptic wash, triclosan) you advise your patients to use?
* substitutes if patients identify as having an allergy to your recommended body wash?
Happy to discuss off-line if preferred.
Kind regards,
BarbBarbara May

There are lots of research papers out there discussing pro and cons of each approach. Patient non-compliance was a big factor in night-before body washes as patient’s didn’t remember or just didn’t do it.
I think the majority of research has been around CHG with true sensitivity very very very rare despite folks trying to position CHG as the new “latex allergy”. CHG also preferred for its residual effect. Triclosan has been subject to FDA safety notice this year – worth googling probably.
I will try and find the papers and my summary and will happily share it with you in separate email if you would like.
Yours sincerely
