Abstract

Surgical wound infection is one of the main sources of postoperative morbidity/mortality. Skin preparation with an antiseptic agent such as chlorhexidine alcohol solution is an effective method to reduce the incidence of surgical wound infections. Nevertheless, the use of alcohol solutions is associated with some risk as they are inflammable products. We report a case of a 51-year-old male who suffered an extensive burn associated with concurrent use of electrocautery and clorhexidine alcohol solution.

Keywords:
Alcoholic clorhexidine
Skin burn
Electrocautery
Resumen

Las infecciones del campo quirúrgico constituyen unas de las principales causas de morbimortalidad en los pacientes quirúrgicos. La utilización de clorhexidina alcohólica para la preparación del campo quirúrgico ha demostrado ser eficaz en su prevención. Es necesario saber que se trata de un producto inflamable, por lo que hay que tomar una serie de precauciones para evitar complicaciones importantes. Exponemos el caso de un varón de 51 años que sufrió quemaduras graves al asociar la utilización de clorhexidina alcohólica con el uso del bisturí eléctrico.

Palabras clave:
Clorehexidina alcohólica
Quemadura cutánea
Bisturí eléctrico
