BACKGROUND: Pre-procedural antisepsis is a critical component of hospital-acquired infection prevention in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). However, broadly utilized topical antiseptic agents pose an elevated risk of disruption to neonatal skin integrity, and evidence-based guidelines are lacking. This systematic review of the literature sought to assess and characterize the predisposing risk factors for and types of neonatal skin injury from topical antiseptic agents.
