Filter by:In rectal cancer surgery, the organ/space surgical site infection (O/S-SSI) has an impact on patient's prognosis. Its influence in the oncologic outcomes remains controversial. The main objective is to assess the possible effect of O/S-SSI on long-term overall survival and cancer recurrence.
There is controversy about the maximum number of elements to be included in a surgical site infection (SSI) prevention bundle and the possibility of its implementation at a multi-center level. This study analyzes SSI rates in colorectal surgery after the implementation of two preventive bundles. The investigators hypothesized that the thorough introduction of a well-designed large bundle of best practice preventive measures would result in good adherence and greater reduction of SSI rates after colorectal surgery.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the wound healing in the participants who underwent the clean surgical procedure, by applying honey dressing and common Iodine solution dressing, participants will have no other co-morbidities like Diabetes, Anemia, etc. which can make the results biased. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do the iodine solutions are enough to counter the infections caused by resistant strains of bacteria? - What is the efficacy and efficiency of honey dressing in wound care? Participants will be tasked to - Ensure strict follow-up in the hospital dressing room - Half of the participants will apply common iodine solution dressing and the other half will be applied honey dressing. Researchers will compare Iodine dressing (Control group) with Honey dressing (Experimental group) to see if Honey dressing is better in the prevention of post-surgery wound infection and if it is cost-efficient and its efficacy.
Bacterial infections occurring during labor, childbirth, and the puerperium may be associated with considerable maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Antibiotic prophylaxis might reduce wound infection incidence after an episiotomy, particularly in situations associated with a higher risk of postpartum perineal infection, such as midline episiotomy, extension of the incision, or in settings where the baseline risk of infection after vaginal birth is high. However, available evidence is unclear concerning the role of prophylactic antibiotics in preventing infections after an episiotomy.
We are investigating outcome of antibiotic coated vicryl versus non coated vicryl in terms of rate of surgical site infection and lebgth of hospital stay in children after lalaprotomy for perforated viscera. total 100 patients will be taken and 50 in each group.
A double-blinded, controlled study was conducted at one county hospital in Sweden. Patients were randomly assigned, skin samples were collected at four times; baseline, preoperative, after intervention and after 48 hours. Bacterial colonization were assessed.
The Catalan Cancer Plan (CCP) undertakes periodic audits of cancer treatment outcomes, including organ/space surgical site infections (O/S-SSI) rates, while the Catalan Healthcare-associated Infections Surveillance Programme (VINCat) carries out standardized prospective surveillance of surgical site infections (SSIs) in colorectal surgery. This cohort study aimed to assess the concordance between these two monitoring systems for O/S-SSI following primary rectal cancer surgery.
Comparing the growth of intra-operative tissue cultures of Cutibacterium Acnes after primary shoulder replacement when using a no-prep control group versus antimicrobial wound gel versus betadine applied to the skin layer after the skin incision has been made. Reducing the bacteria present in the deep tissues at the end of the surgery may prevent infections from developing in the future.
Surgical site infection (SSI) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, prolonged hospital stays and healthcare costs. Perioperative low tissue oxygen tension is associated with a high risk of SSI. Standard anaesthetic management guided by continuous monitoring of oxygen delivery with a non-invasive method of measuring mitochondrial oxygenation tension (mitoPO2) using the Cellular Oxygen METabolism (COMET) monitor may benefit the intraoperative oxygenation on the tissue level. This randomised, controlled, single-centre, parallel-arm, patient-blinded trial aims to investigate if standard anaesthetic management guided by mitoPO2 monitoring results in higher tissue oxygen tension including patients undergoing elective abdominal surgery. Anaesthetists in the intervention group strive to a minimum mitoPO2 of 66 mmHg. Patients in the control group receive standard care. The primary outcome is the difference in means of the mean mitoPO2 during surgery.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the potential effects of photobiomodulation when used with topical disinfectants in the anterior nares of healthy adults. Over a three week period, participants will have their anterior nares swabbed with methylene blue, chlorhexidine gluconate, or a combination of the two followed by 4 minutes of non-thermal red light treatment. The fourth week of consist of only red light treatment. Culture samples of the subjects nasal microbiome will be taken prior to treatment, immediately after treatment, 4-, 8-, 24-, and 48 hours after treatment.
