PENGUIN is a pragmatic multi-center trial investigating the effects of pre-operative mouthwash and perioperative oxygen on the incidences of pneumonia and surgical site infection (SSI) following major abdominal surgery. Patients will be recruited from low and middle income countries and randomly assigned to a trial treatment arms: a) pre-operative chlorhexidine mouthwash and 80-100% FiO2; b) no pre-operative mouthwash and 80-100% fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2); c) pre-operative chlorhexidine mouthwash and 21- 30% FiO2; or d) no pre-operative mouthwash and 21-30% FiO2.
Comparing the incidence of PSI in cases using coated Polyglactin 910 suture with Triclosan and cases using Polyglactin 910 suture without Triclosan in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, laparoscopic appendectomy or laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Time of showering after surgery is still a controversial issue for surgical patients and health professionals. It has been reported that patients should not shower until sutures are removed since traditionally showering is thought to cause infections after surgery. However, not showering after surgery not only has a negative effect on patient comfort but also brings about the risk of infections. Sternal wound infections after coronary artery bypass graft surgery through median sternotomy are one of the important, life-threatening complications. For this reasons, the investigators researched the advantages and disadvantages of showering for postoperative sternal wound infections, pain due to sternotomy and patient comfort and satisfaction.
Propionibacterium acnes is a pathogen commonly identified in postoperative shoulder infections. A recent study has shown that P. acnes is likely to be disseminated in the operating field from the subcutaneous layer by the manipulation of soft tissues by the surgeon and the instruments. Disinfection of the subcutaneous tissue seems to significantly reduce contamination of the operating field during primary shoulder surgery. This study seeks to assess the efficacy of disinfection of the subcutaneous tissue compared to dissection with an electrosurgical unit on P. acnes contamination during primary shoulder surgery.
When using the rolled ring of a sterile glove as a loop drain in incision and loop drainage, is it superior to incision and drainage for treatment of a cutaneous abscess in 18 to 65 year-old patients presenting to the Emergency Department, Family Health Clinic, Family Medicine Residency Clinic, or Internal Medicine Clinic? Hypothesis: When treating a cutaneous abscess, incision and loop drainage utilizing the rolled ring of a sterile glove as a loop drain is superior to the standard (incision and drainage) yielding a treatment failure rate of 1% at seven to ten days.
This is a RCT which compare skin numbness, kneeling ability and functional outcome between midline incision and lateral incision in patients undergoing simultaneous bilateral TKA
the aim of work is to compare the early postoperative and late term wound complication rates between the scalpel and electrosurgery in patients with benign gynecological conditions undergoing abdominal incisions.
This is a prospective cohort pilot study. The primary purpose is to report the perfusion status of the surgical field in at risk surgical incisions. The secondary purposes are to describe the relationship between perfusion status and wound healing status and complications, and to describe the relationship between infrared digital thermography perfusion readings and the timing of propofol infusion. The research intervention will be photographs taken of the wound on the injured extremity, with a Forward-Looking Infrared (FLIR) camera, for the purpose of assessing perfusion status and skin temperature at the surgical site.
Purpose of this study is to clinically evaluate and compare various patient centered outcomes using diode LASER in Continuous mode (CW) and Pulsed Mode (PM) using 300µm and 400µm fiber for depigmentation procedure.
