Study Summary
This is a prospective pilot study using a randomized, controlled, single blinded, crossover trial design, evaluating the effect of daily antimicrobial stethoscope diaphragm covers versus uncovered stethoscope. Stethoscopes will be cleaned Sani-cloth germicidal disposable wipes which are effective against MRSA. Each participant will then be randomly assigned to 7 days in either the intervention or the control arm. At the end of the 7 days participants stethoscopes will be cleaned again. This will be followed by another 7 days in the arm that they are not in during the first 7 days. The primary endpoint is MRSA colony count from stethoscope diaphragms cultures at 7 days, focusing on the difference between the intervention and the control periods. The secondary endpoint is the rate of hospital acquired MRSA infection in patients treated by residents during each period.
Interventions
- OTHER Daily Antimicrobial Stethoscope Diaphragm Cover
