ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a cleaning method in intensive care units (ICUs) to see if using a special disinfectant called organosilane, along with regular cleaning practices, can help reduce the number of infections that patients might get while in the hospital. The goal is to find out if this new cleaning approach is more effective than traditional cleaning alone in preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).

To participate in this trial, you must be at least 18 years old and admitted to one of the participating ICUs. Unfortunately, patients under 18 or those in ICUs that already use organosilane products for cleaning cannot join. If you are eligible and choose to participate, you can expect to receive care in an ICU where they are testing this new cleaning method. It’s important to know that the study is currently recruiting participants, and your involvement could help improve safety for future patients in hospital settings.
