Smart IV pumps aim to outsmart surgical infections

NCT ID NCT05253339

Summary

This study tested a new, more precise way to give a common antibiotic (cefoxitin) before colon or rectal surgery. Researchers compared a standard IV push to a 'smart pump' that adjusts the dose based on a patient's weight and kidney function. The goal was to see if this personalized, steady dosing could better prevent infections at the surgical site.
