Burns Surgery Clinical Trial
— A2BOfficial title:
"Antibioprophylaxis for Excision-graft Surgery in Burn Patient: a Multicenter Randomized Double-blind Study: A2B Trial"
The indication of antibiotic prophylaxis in burn patients remains highly controversial and hasn't reached a consensus. The objective of antibiotic prophylaxis would be to reduce the risk of post-operative local and systemic infections. Burn surgery is associated with a high risk of bacteremia and postoperative infections and sepsis. However, antibiotic prophylaxis exposes to the risk of selecting drug-resistant pathogens as well as adverse effects of antibiotics (i.e Clostridium difficile colitis). Recommendations regarding perioperative prophylaxis using systemic antibiotics vary across sources. The lack of data precludes any international strong recommendations regarding the best strategy regarding antibiotic prophylaxis. The goal of this project is therefore to determine whether peri-operative systemic antibiotics prophylaxis could reduce the incidence of post-operative infections in burn patients.

| Primary | Post-operative infection defined as Post-operative sepsis and/or Surgical site infection, and/or Graft lysis requiring a new graft within 7 days after surgery. | Postoperative infection will be collected by the intensivists or infectious disease specialist consultant blinded to the interventional or control arm. Skin infection and skin graft lysis requiring a new graft procedure will be assess by a surgeon blinded of the arm of the study. | 7 days after surgery | |
| Primary | Post-operative sepsis | Sepsis is defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction (defined by an increase of Sepsis related organ failure assessment [SOFA] score of 2 points or more) in response to infection. The minimum value is 0 and maximum value is 24. 0 meaning no organ dysfunction and 24 the maximum organ dysfunction. | 7 days after surgery | |
| Primary | Surgical site infection | Surgical site (operated skin) infection with general signs is considered as a systemic infection originated from skin (Presence of a local or loco-regional inflammatory reaction; Unfavourable and unexpected local evolution; Lysis of grafts; Necrosis of fat located under the graft) | 7 days after surgery | |
| Primary | Graft lysis needing a new graft procedure | Graft lysis is defined as a skin graft lysis in the 7 days post operative, and needing a new skin graft assessed be a surgeon blinded of the randomization group. | 7 days after surgery | |
| Secondary | Mortality | Any death occurring between randomization and D 90 | At day 90 | |
| Secondary | Skin graft lysis requiring a new graft procedure | Defined as a skin graft lysis in the 7 days post operative, and needing a new skin graft assessed be a surgeon blinded of the randomization group. | 7 days after surgery | |
| Secondary | Postoperative bacteremia | Positive blood culture . | within 7 days of surgery | |
| Secondary | Post-operative pulmonary infection | Imaging Test Evidence
Two or more serial chest imaging test results with at least one of the following: New and persistent or Progressive and persistent Infiltrate Consolidation Cavitation Signs/Symptoms/Laboratory For ANY PATIENT, at least one of the following: Fever (>38.0°C or >100.4°F) Leukopenia (=4000 WBC/mm) or leukocytosis (>12,000 WBC/mm) For adults >70 years old, altered mental status with no other recognized cause And at least two of the following: New onset of purulent sputum or change in character of sputum, or increased respiratory secretions, or increased suctioning requirements New onset or worsening cough, or dyspnea, or tachypnea Rales or bronchial breath sounds Worsening gas exchange |
7 days after surgery | |
| Secondary | Post-operative surgical site infection | Skin infection with general signs is considered as a systemic infection originated from skin. | 7 days after surgery | |
| Secondary | Number of hospitalization days living without antibiotic therapy | It will be calculated as the number of survival days without antibiotic therapy respectively between randomization and day 28 and day 90. | at Day 28 and Day 90 | |
| Secondary | Number of days of hospitalization until complete healing (> 95% total burn surface area) | It will be calculated by the number of days between ICU complete healing and ICU discharge. | at Day 28 and Day 90 | |
| Secondary | Number of patients with a colonization with a multidrug resistant bacteria. | It will be defined as :
AmpC producer enterobacteriacae Extended spectrum beta lactamase enterobacteriacae Carbapenemase producer enterobacteriacae Meticillin resistant aureus staphylococcus Vancomycine resistant enterococcus Piperacillin-Tazobactam resistant bacteria Imipenem resistant Acinetobacter Baumanii. And it will be mesured from results of bacterial cultures and/or genotyping with antibiogramm resistance profile |
at Day 28 and Day 90 |
