OBJECTIVE: To synthesize the available evidence on the use of antiseptics and
disinfectants in the face of VIDOC-19 infection. METHOD: Bibliographic search in
the main databases (WOS, CCC, DIIDW, KJD, MEDLINE, RSCI, SCIELO, PubMed, BMJ Best
Practice, Cochrane Library, UptoDate) and on the web of official bodies in March
2020, using descriptors and truncations. The search was limited to reviews
published between 2016-2020. RESULTS: Thirty-six papers were identified (no
duplicates) of which 17 were selected for relevance and specificity and one paper
was added from the literature review. In the documents finally used, no evidence
was located, but experiences and recommendations of interest were found,
highlighting the importance of material, environmental and, very significantly,
hand disinfection. CONCLUSION: There is no clear evidence, nor are there clear
recommendations for the use of one or another antiseptic, although the action of
sodium hypochlorite, ethanol and hydrogen peroxide is highlighted in comparison
to others such as benzalkonium chloride, chlorhexidine digluconate, povidoeyodine
and diluted ethyl alcohol. Particular importance is attached to their use in hand
hygiene, the use of protective equipment and environmental disinfection.
