Filter by:The goal of this study is to determine whether injecting the antibiotic vancomycin directly into surgical wounds can decrease the rate of infection following implantation of neurosurgical devices.
This is an observational study to evaluate the relative importance of the known risk factors for severe surgical site infections (SSIs) on the development of the more severe SSI cases, and to describe the demographic, clinical features, etiology and the management and outcome of patients suffering from severe SSIs in Spain.
This is a study to see whether increasing the oxygen concentration during and after a cesarean section decreases the infection rate.
The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that supplemental postoperative oxygen reduces the risk of surgical wound infection in patients following lower limb vascular surgery.
The purpose of this multicentre prospective trial is to determine the incidence and risk factors for surgical wound infections. Also the investigators will evaluate consequences of wound infections to the patients, and extra costs caused by wound infections.
In a rural hospital in Tanzania the rate of surgical site infections (SSI) was 21.6%. Inappropriate choice of antibiotics and of administration time were determined as sole risk factors in this setting. After implementation of a standardized procedure with a single shot dose of Amoxicillin/Clavulanic Acid approximately 30 min. preoperatively the rate of SSI dropped by 80% in spite of procedural risk factors like poor hygiene etc.
This study is a multicenter, open label, observational, postmarketing surveillance study of the ON-Q® Silver SoakerTM in the United States and Canada. This study was developed to investigate specific aspects of infection rates and hospital length of stay following routine use of this device in patients undergoing colorectal surgical procedures.
The purpose of this registry is to better understand (1) complicated skin and soft-tissue infections requiring hospitalization, and (2) clinical and economic outcomes in hospitalized patients receiving intravenous antibiotic therapy.
This is a prospective, open-label, randomized clinical trial where patients were administered prophylaxis for total hip or knee arthroplasty either with teicoplanin or with other antibiotics. The study is aiming to evaluate any differences between these two different strategies of antimicrobial prophylaxis in the occurrence of surgical site infections
This investigation is a prospective, open-label pharmacokinetic study of daptomycin prophylaxis in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery without valvular replacement.
