Nasal Decolonization for Orthopedic Trauma Patients

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Many surgical site infections are caused by bacteria that is transferred from a patient's nose to their open surgical wound. Some small studies have shown that putting povidone-iodine in a patient's nose reduces this risk. This study aims to evaluate the real-world effectiveness of nasal povidone-iodine (PROFEND®) in a group of 50 patients at the University of Iowa.

Clinical Trial Description

Aim 1. Evaluate the real-world effectiveness of intranasal povidone-iodine (PROFEND®) in reducing Staphylococcus aureus colonization and surgical site infections (SSIs). Aim 1a. Evaluate patients after surgery to determine S. aureus colonization and to survey patients on tolerability of intranasal povidone-iodine decolonization. The intranasal povidone-iodine swab will be administered to the patient's nares around one hour prior to the first surgical incision. It will then be re-applied around 12 hours later, for a total of two applications within a 24 hour period. During the same visit at 24 hours after surgery, patients will also be administered a questionnaire to determine the tolerability of intranasal povidone-iodine decolonization. Questions will be asked about adverse events (e.g., itching, irritation) and how intranasal povidone-iodine felt (very pleasant, pleasant, neutral, unpleasant, very unpleasant). Based on the data obtained from this aim, we will summarize the patient acceptance of intranasal povidone-iodine. Aim 1b. Compare the rates of SSI among orthopaedic trauma surgery patients who received intranasal povidone-iodine to similar patients who received orthopedic trauma surgery before intranasal povidone-iodine implementation. ;
