Filter by:Web-based survey to members of 10 Spanish Associations of surgical nurses and surgeons of different specialities to know the application of preventative measures for surgical site infection.
A randomized control trial studying the effect of prophylactic antibiotics to reduce surgical site infections following cardiac surgery in adults using 1st generation cephalosporin (Cefazolin) or 2nd generation cephalosporin (Cefuroxime).
The first patient in the dyad will receive the bundle, which includes patient decolonization methods, environmental cleaning in the OR, a hand hygiene system located on the IV pole for the anesthesia provider, and intravascular catheter and syringe tip disinfection practices. The second patient in the dyad will receive usual care. Both patients will be surveyed by obtaining swab samples at the beginning and end of the surgery using the OR PathTrac kits. The OR PathTrac software (RDB Bioinformatics, Omaha, NE 68154) uses algorithms to guide analysis of the S. aureus isolates and to identify transmission events. Transmission stories are processed by the software to generate transmission maps that identify improvement successes and failures. It also identifies actionable steps to improve the bundle. The perioperative infection control team then uses this information to continually optimize the bundle, and the software to measure the effect.
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an infection prevention bundle on surgical site infections in patients undergone brain tumor surgery. The patients were divided into 2 groups: infection prevention bundle group and control group
MOBILE2 is a randomized controlled trial comparing mechanical and oral antibiotic bowel preparation to mechanical bowel preparation only in patients undergoing anterior rectal resection with primary anastomosis. Primary endpoint is Comprehensive Complication Index within 30 days from surgery.
This study describes Cefazolin pharmacokinetics variation to target levels during liver transplantation.
The objective of the study is to measure the efficacy of the use of single-use portable negative pressure therapy (PICO ®) in the prevention of surgical wound infections (SSI) from cardiac surgery under extracorporeal circulation compared to single-use hydrocolloid dressings "Aquacel Surgical".
We aim to prospectively evaluate the risk factors that can play a role before, during or after the surgical period.
Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a major postoperative complication after colorectal surgery. Current study aims to evaluate prophylactic function of oral antibiotic intake (OA) in combination with mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) relative to MBP alone with respect to postoperative SSIs incidence. A retrospective analysis of eligible patients was to conducted using the databases of the Gastrointestinal Surgery Centre, Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from 2011 to 2017. Data pertaining to postoperative hospital stay length, expenses, SSIs incidence, anastomotic fistula incidence, and rates of other complications wloud be extracted and compared. A propensity analysis was conducted to minimize bias associated with demographic characteristics.
Comparing the incidence of SSI in cases using coated Polyglactin 910 suture with Triclosan and cases using Polyglactin 910 suture without Triclosan in clean-contaminated wound surgery
