New surgical wash aims to slash dangerous Post-Op infections

NCT ID NCT06363877

Summary

This large study is testing if washing the surgical area with a diluted antiseptic solution (povidone-iodine) during emergency abdominal surgery is better at preventing wound infections than using standard saltwater (saline). It will involve 1,100 adult patients and compare infection rates and safety over 30 days after surgery. The goal is to find a more effective way to protect patients from a common and serious complication.
