Hi all! My name is Crystal Nguyentan and I am a new Critical Care Pharmacist at SCVMC. I am excited to be a NorCal SCCM member! I wanted to poll the group to see if anyone has stopped using chlorhexidine or plans to stop using chlorhexidine for VAP prophylaxis? Chlorhexidine is no longer recommended for VAP prevention according to guidance from the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology (SHEA) in conjunction with IDSA due to not decreasing rates of VAP. I would love to hear your thoughts!
