To reduce risk of surgical site infections.
👉 chlorhexidine in alcohol better than iodine (esp non-clean surgery)
👉 but only at 2-2.5%. Higher concentration not better!
👉 olanexidine possible alternative but only 1x RCT@LancetMicrobehttps://t.co/C8FHtEdYlf pic.twitter.com/FXwEOIg4Pf— Gabriele Pollara (@gpollara) August 22, 2022

Home hospital care is scaling fast, but the role for remote MD care is unknown. In this #RCT, remote MD care was noninferior to in-home MD care, but in-home MD care was critical to 1 in 5 patients. @hahusersgroup @WHAH_cong #OpenAccess #Research https://t.co/ZoE4oc37jx
