NCT ID: NCT04887480 Suspended - Abdomen, Acute Clinical Trials

Direct Resuscitation of the Open Peritoneum

SH DROP
Start date: May 14, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The DROP trial evaluates two ways of treating patients whose abdomens are left open after their abdominal surgery. The current standard of care at Sanford is for patients to have their wound covered with a sterile dressing connected to a vacuum with suction, which removes fluid from the abdomen. In this trial, we are evaluating the benefits of adding dialysis fluid to the abdomen periodically, prior to suctioning it out with the vacuum system. This trial will show if the addition of this fluid lowers the risk of complications and death, and allows the surgeon to close the abdomen sooner
