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.

This trial tests if using a special mouthwash (3% hydrogen peroxide) can reduce bacteria in the lungs of ICU patients on breathing machines. It may help prevent infections in people who are already very sick.
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 study tests a new approach to prevent infections on central venous catheters (thin tubes inserted into large veins) in hospital intensive care units. Researchers will study catheters that already show signs of bacterial growth to understand how to better protect patients from catheter-related infections.
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 study tests a comprehensive approach to improve cleaning and disinfection in the hospital to reduce germs. You may be included if you are currently hospitalized on one of two specific medicine wards at the study hospital.
