The evidence on prophylactic use of negative pressure wound therapy primary closed incisional wounds (iNPWT) for the prevention surgical site infections (SSI) is confusing and ambiguous. Implementation in daily practice impaired by inconsistent recommendations current international guidelines published meta-analyses. More recently, multiple new randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have been published. We aimed to provide an overview all meta-analyses their characteristics; conduct a...
Abstract Background The effect of the number door openings in operating room (OR) on surgical site infections (SSI) risk remains a controversial topic. Many SSI prevention bundles include restriction maximum as intervention, often to ten per hour. However, existing evidence is limited and heterogeneous. This individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis aims evaluate OR occurrence. Methods We searched MEDLINE (Pubmed) Embase (Ovid) up 15 January 2024, for studies investigating incidence....
To compare the effect of different methods bowel preparation on incidence surgical site infections (SSI), anastomotic leakage (AL), and mortality in patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery.
Surgical site infections (SSI) are a common postoperative complication. During the development of new WHO guidelines on SSI prevention, also in Netherlands was concluded that perioperative care could be optimised beyond current standard practice. We selected limited set readily available, cheap and evidence-based interventions from these not part practice formulated an Enhanced PeriOperative Care Health bundle (EPOCH). Here, we describe protocol for open-label, randomised controlled,...
Introduction Acute abdominal wound dehiscence (AWD) or burst abdomen is a severe complication after surgery with an incidence up to 3.8%. Surgical site infection (SSI) the biggest risk factor for development of AWD. It strongly suggested that use triclosan-coated sutures (TCS) closure reduces SSI. We hypothesise TCS may reduce Current randomised controlled trials (RCTs) lack power investigate this. Therefore, purpose this individual participant data meta-analysis evaluate effect on Methods...
To determine the accuracy of final judgements doctors at emergency department (ED) and radiologists to differentiate between complicated uncomplicated acute appendicitis, because these have different treatment options.
Abstract Background Surgical site infections (SSI) are frequent complications after elective abdominal surgery. We designed the Enhanced PeriOperative Care and Health Protection programme (EPO 2 CH) care bundle, comprising of intraoperative high fractional inspired oxygen; goal-directed fluid therapy; active preoperative, postoperative warming; glucose control treatment hyperglycaemia (> 10 mmol L − 1 ) in diabetics as well non-diabetics; wound irrigation before closure using an aqueous...
Background: Surgical site infections (SSI) are the most common postoperative complications and substantially increase healthcare costs. There remains uncertainty which preoperative skin antiseptic solution concentration is effective. Published meta-analyses as well international guidelines show discrepancies. We compared efficacy of different preparation solutions concentrations in prevention SSI. Additionally, we provide an overview important guidelines.Methods: This systematic review...
