Filter by:This randomized prospective study will specifically investigate the efficacy of a 24 hour post-operative course of broad-spectrum prophylactic antibiotics - namely Cefazolin - in preventing wound infection and wound breakdown following vulvectomy.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether a single, pre-operative dose of cefuroxime is effective in preventing surgical site infection in patients undergoing surgery for herniated disk
The purpose of this study is to find out if chlorhexidine gluconate solution is better at reducing the rate of wound infection after cesarean section compared to povidone-iodine.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a technique using very small stitches when closing a midline incision can reduce the risk for wound complications such as incisional hernia, infection or dehiscence.
To investigate whether Betadine can reduce infection rates and recurrence rates following varicose veins surgery in a randomized double blind placebo controlled study.
The aim of the present study is to evaluate a new technique for prevention of sternal wound infection consisting of local application of collagen-gentamicin in addition to routine i.v. antibiotic prophylaxis. The technique has been evaluated in a previous randomised study. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the technique after it has been introduced in clinical practise to monitor the bacterial antibiotic susceptibility and to verify that the suggested reduction in sternal wound infection still exits.
The primary objective is to collect data on treatment outcomes (clinical and microbiological cure), safety and tolerability of treatment with cefoperazone/sulbactam in patients with serious intra-abdominal and hepatobiliary infections in Slovakia.
Patients, who are considered suitable by their physicians to take part in this research, will have a physical examination (including an Electrocardiogram (ECG)), blood and urine samples taken, as well as a sample of the secretions or tissue around their infection site. In addition, the site of the infection will be photographed. The patients will be randomly assigned one of the treatments: intravenous (IV)/per oral (PO) moxifloxacin (drug under evaluation) or IV piperacillin/tazobactam followed by PO amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (i.e., one of the reference treatments for this kind of infection). The maximum treatment duration will be 21 days, and the minimum will be 7 days. During the hospitalization, the patients will have a physical examination every day. On Day 3-5 during therapy as well as at the end of treatment, the patients will have repeated examinations. These tests and evaluations will be repeated 14 to 28 days after the end of treatment. During this visit, blood and urine samples will be taken only if judged necessary by the physicians.
The objective of the project is to find out whether cleansing the vagina before a cesarean delivery decreases the risk of complications and infections after having the baby. If this is the case, cleansing the vagina before cesarean delivery can help improve outcomes for many women and make their early postpartum recovery much more pleasant, giving a healthier start for the family.
Peristomal infections are the commonest complications of PEG despite prophylactic antibiotics which may result in emergence of resistant micro-organisms like Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Introducer PEG technique avoids the sojourn of PEG catheter through the oropharynx so chances of infectious complications are negligible. It was not popular because of associated risks and complications. However the new introducer PEG gastropexy has been recently proved to be safe. To determine the incidence of peristomal wound infections during the immediate 7 day post procedure follow up period after the new introducer PEG gastropexy
