I am interested to know what NICU's out there have been using CHG for cleaning pre PICC insertion and using biopatch. Let me know where you are, how long you have been using this practice, any poor outcomes, policies specific to these products used in your NICU. Research is limited, so if you are aware of any new studies for these products in the NICU I'd greatly appreciate knowing about them.

I know there are many NICU's out there using these products. The CDC draft appears to be omitting the language for the use of biopatch from the last guidelines. Anyone know why?

Thanks,
