Cleaning ICU surfaces with hydrogen peroxide and UV light
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to clean surfaces in intensive care units (ICUs) using hydrogen peroxide and ultraviolet (UV) light. It aims to see if this method reduces infections in patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You will be admitted to an ICU participating in the study.
- The ICU you are in must not already use hydrogen peroxide or UV light for surface cleaning.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether daily cleansing with a special soap (chlorhexidine) combined with thoughtful use of antibiotics and stomach acid reducers can help prevent the spread of a tough germ called CPE (carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae) in the ICU. It aims to keep ICU patients safer from infection.
This trial tests if a special infection control program can reduce infections in patients with urinary catheters in the hospital. It may help prevent catheter-related infections during your stay.
This trial tests whether probiotics (good bacteria) can help prevent serious infections in critically ill patients in the ICU. If you are very sick and in the ICU, you may be able to join — as long as you don't have certain conditions like cancer or a weakened immune system.
This trial tests a quality improvement program to help ICUs use fewer antibiotics without compromising patient safety. It looks at how well the intervention works to reduce antimicrobial use in critically ill patients.
This trial tests a new oral care routine to improve mouth hygiene for patients on ventilators in the ICU. Better oral care might help prevent infections and improve recovery.
This study looks at how antibiotics are used in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) to improve treatment and reduce unnecessary use. It may help ensure your child gets the right antibiotics if needed.
