Filter by:This trial is a multi-center, double-blinded, randomized (1:1) clinical trial. The aim is to compare the postoperative infection rate between the 3 days postoperative AMP group and the placebo group in HCC patients undergoing hepatectomy.
Infection and wound complications are the most common complications following orthopaedic foot and ankle procedures, and the infection rate following these procedures is higher than in procedures involving other areas of the body.The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to determine whether a standard chlorhexidine prep can be augmented with a soak & scrub of the foot in dilute betadine to reduce the rate of positive cultures from the hallux nail fold prior to surgery.
Postoperative infections are a common complication. A relationship between perioperative severe hyperglycemia and postoperative infections has been found in patients undergoing craniotomy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the epidemiology of intraoperative severe hyperglycemia (BGC >180 mg/dL; 10 mmol/L) and postoperative infections (wound, urinary and prosthetic joint infection) and to investigate if severe intraoperative hyperglycemia is associated with an higher risk of early postoperative (within the 7th postoperative days) infections (wound, urinary and prosthetic joint infection).
Antibiotic resistance is a very serious and dangerous situation in modern world. Judicious use of antibiotics is therefore of extreme importance not just in preventing antibiotic resistance but also it decreases cost of the treatment and prevent side-effects of the antibiotics. No randomized trial is available in literature for antibiotic prophylaxis in patient undergoing donor hepatectomy. Currently, antibiotic regimen is based on individual institutional protocol. There have been studies, comparing short course vs long dose of antibiotics in hepatectomy patients, concluding equivalent efficacy in preventing infective complications. The investigators aim at proving that 3 doses of antibiotics are equally effective in preventing infective complications, when compared to 9 doses of antibiotics, in patients undergoing donor hepatectomy. So, a randomized trial is required to study the antibiotic duration in patient undergoing donor hepatectomy.
After appendix has been removed for perforated appendicitis, patients will receive postoperative antibiotics. In the last 5 years, the literature has transitioned from a 3 -drug therapy to 2-drug therapy. Now there is a recent literature suggesting a single-drug therapy may be safe and adequate. In fact, using zosyn (piperacillin-tazobactam) as a single-drug therapy, there are additional benefits of simplicity, compliance, and lower infectious complications. Currently surgeons are already using both 2-drug regimen (ceftriaxone/metronidazole) and single-drug regimen (zosyn) interchangeable as both are FDA approved and regulated antibiotics for intra-abdominal infection. There is a clear need to compare outcomes between these two options.
This study investigates electrical acupoint stimulation (EAS) administered in peri-operation for improving postoperative recovery in elder patients, who accept knee arthroplasty. the surgery cause to change of stress response, which might be associated with postoperative recovery of patient Totally, three groups are created, 1/3 participants receive transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation, 1/3 participants receive electroacupuncture, the rest 1/3 will use sham transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation.
This is a Phase 4, open-label, single-dose, parallel-group, multicenter, safety study of cefazolin (1 g or 2 g) in pediatric subjects between 10 and 17 years of age (inclusive) scheduled for surgery.
This is a pilot study of surgical patients whose postoperative care will be augmented with a personalized risk prediction platform (CALYPSO app).
The normal saline is used in medicine as an intravenous isotonic infusion and for cleaning wounds. It is a mild but effective cleaning agent and will not harm normal tissue, unlike many stronger antiseptics. It is available and inexpensive in comparison to povidone iodine.
Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive method used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. It allows surgeons to take a look on the abdominal and pelvic organs. Diagnostic laparoscopy is usually done in an operating room under general anesthesia. The procedure takes about 25 minutes and the patients usually discharged in the same day. The laparoscopy can diagnose pelvic pathological conditions in approximately 50% of the cases. However, the laparoscopy has some complications, such as infections, hemorrhage and injuries of visceral organs. A preoperative vaginal preparation is important to prevent the bacteria colonization in a trial to avoid postoperative infection after laparoscopic surgery. The povidone-iodine (PI) is normally used as a skin and vaginal disinfectant to prevent postoperative infections, however; it can be the cause of significant postoperative irritation. There are many reports in the literature proved that the mechanical cleansing of the vagina, not the use of an antiseptic solution, is responsible for the efficacy of vaginal preparations. In the field of assisted reproductive technology; A study in 1992 concluded that the infection rates with normal saline solution are comparable to PI. Another proved that, a normal saline solution can be effective in prevention of preventing postoperative infections after vaginal surgery. The most recent study by Lewis et al has been shown that the Baby shampoo is preferable than PI in vaginal cleansing before gynecologic procedures because it has minimal vaginal irritation and cheaper than PI. So the optimal vaginal antiseptic solution is unknown, the investigators want to conduct a randomized trial comparing 2 commonly used vaginal antiseptic solutions: PI and the saline solution before the laparoscopic surgery. The normal saline is used in medicine as an intravenous isotonic infusion and for cleaning wounds. It is a mild but effective cleaning agent and will not harm normal tissue, unlike many stronger antiseptics. It is available and inexpensive in comparison to povidone iodine.
