The idea
Chlorhexidine is a common antiseptic, but the WHO guideline cautions against its use in certain sites.
In practice
It advises avoiding the eyes, not using it in middle or inner ear surgery, and avoiding direct contact with the brain and its coverings.
Where people slip
The surgeon and facility protocol choose the antiseptic for these sites, and the scrub person checks before opening it.
