NCT ID: NCT06460025 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Microbial Colonization

Compare Wound Sampling Methods Efficacy in Microbiology Culture

Start date: October 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Slough was a visible indicator of biofilm, which was the most available specimen from acute and chronic wounds. However, studies believed that slough were poorly accurate, and that the Levine swab was more recommended for sampling bacterial culture. This study aimed to compare slough with swab sample and analyze the consistency.

NCT ID: NCT06420934 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Surgical Wound Infection

Surgical Handwashing: Drying With One or Two Surgical Towels

Start date: April 26, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study aims to determine whether the use of two sterile towels for drying after surgical handwashing results in fewer contamination events compared to the use of only one towel among healthcare personnel. This randomized, multicenter, superiority-controlled trial will enroll up to 72 healthcare workers and surgical residents from three hospitals in Bogotá, Colombia. A fluorescent product will simulate bacteria, and contamination will be assessed by evaluating the presence of fluorescent cream after hand drying technique with either two or one surgical sterile towel. Data will be collected through REDCap and deidentified. Differences in the proportion of contamination between the two groups will be assessed using an exact Fischer test, and confounding variables will be included in the analysis through logistic multivariate regression, with a significance level set a priori at 0.05. Results will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.

NCT ID: NCT06337292 Not yet recruiting - Wound Heal Clinical Trials

Incisional Negative Pressure Wound Therapy to Reduce Infection and Complications in High-Risk Fractures: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

iVAC
Start date: May 1, 2024
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This is a multi-center, pragmatic, parallel arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) of 352 patients with high-risk open or closed tibial plateau fracture, high-risk open or closed tibial pilon fracture, or open tibial shaft fracture with incision >3cm. Eligible participants will be randomized to receive either incisional negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) or a non-suction standard-of-care wound dressing for their definitive wound management. The primary outcome will be a composite outcome to evaluate clinical status 3 months after randomization. The secondary outcomes will independently assess the components of the primary outcome.

NCT ID: NCT06319235 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Surgical Site Infection

Clinical Trial to Demonstrate the Safety and Efficacy of DUOFAG®

Start date: October 27, 2023
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

DUOFAG® is a phage cocktail containing bacteriophages active against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It is an investigational medicinal product for the treatment of surgical site infections caused by S. aureus and P. aeruginosa. The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the safety of DUOFAG® and the clinical and microbiological change within 10 weeks after the start of treatment or until healing.

NCT ID: NCT06312267 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Surgical Site Infection

Reducing Wound Infections Using Bioelectric Wound Dressings

JumpStart
Start date: March 4, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to compare the outcomes of using Bioelectric wound dressing on the pre-operative wound site and post operatively and compared it outcomes to the standard of care chlorhexidine skin preparation.

NCT ID: NCT06263205 Not yet recruiting - Pain, Postoperative Clinical Trials

Wound Management Following Gl Tumor Surgery: Comparing Outcomes of Dressing Changes Versus Non-Dressing Techniques

Dressing
Start date: April 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effectiveness and safety of non-dressing (exposed wound) versus dressing techniques in postoperative wound management for patients with gastrointestinal tumors. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does non-dressing of postoperative wounds in gastrointestinal tumor surgery provide equivalent or better wound healing compared to traditional dressing techniques? 2. Can non-dressing of postoperative wounds reduce patient pain and healthcare costs? Participants in this study, who are diagnosed with gastrointestinal tumors and undergoing surgery, will be randomly assigned to either the non-dressing group or the dressing group. The non-dressing group will have their surgical wounds left exposed after initial postoperative care, while the dressing group will receive regular wound dressing changes every 48-72 hours. Researchers will compare these two groups to see if there are differences in the rate of wound complications, pain levels, and overall healthcare costs. This study aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for postoperative wound care in gastrointestinal tumor surgeries, potentially improving patient outcomes and reducing medical expenses.

NCT ID: NCT06251583 Recruiting - Wound Infection Clinical Trials

Prevention of Incisional Hernia With Mesh-suture at Umbilical Trocar Site.

INDURATE
Start date: March 22, 2023
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Incisional hernia related to the umbilical trocar site is probably the most frequent complication after laparoscopic surgical procedures. However, this is an underestimated sequelae of laparoscopic surgery which may involve an important morbidity and an increase in healthcare costs. The incidence of incisional trocar site hernia ranges from 20 to 35% of patients after laparoscopic surgery depending on the different investigations. Prophylactic meshes have been tried in an attempt to reduce the incidence of this complication in obese patients. In that sense, suture-meshes can be an alternative to conventional meshes to improve the incidence of incisional hernias. INDURATE TRIAL aims to test if suture-mesh is capable of reducing the incidence of incisional hernia in patients with risk factors for the development of this frequent complication when compared with conventional monofilament sutures.

NCT ID: NCT06237283 Recruiting - Wounds and Injuries Clinical Trials

Effects of Early Postoperative Showering After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Using Bilateral Internal Thoracic Artery

Start date: January 3, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study to evaluate effects of early postoperative showering after coronary artery bypass grafting using bilateral internal thoracic artery

NCT ID: NCT06220344 Completed - Wound Infection Clinical Trials

Honey Dressing - A Preventive Procedure for Post-Surgical Site Infection.

Start date: December 2, 2022
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

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.

NCT ID: NCT06220058 Recruiting - Colorectal Cancer Clinical Trials

Comparing Polypropylene Mesh and "Small Bites" Technique in Emergency Colorectal Surgery's Midline Laparotomy Closure. Study for Incisional Hernia Prevention.

BITEME
Start date: January 15, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The 2023 World Journal of Emergency Surgery guidelines couldn't provide a recommendation for emergency abdominal wall closure due to insufficient consensus (>80% required). Available evidence, predominantly retrospective and heterogeneous, lacks differentiation between urgent and elective colorectal surgeries. Therefore, we advocate for a study comparing laparotomy closures in emergency colorectal surgery to contribute evidence on incisional hernia incidence and subsequent complications.
