Bedside ultrasound may predict wound infections after abdominal surgery
NCT ID NCT07549880
First seen Apr 30, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a bedside ultrasound can find fluid buildup under the skin after open abdominal surgery and help predict wound infections. About 100 adults who had emergency or planned surgery will get three ultrasound scans of their wound in the first week after surgery. Researchers will then check if those with fluid on ultrasound are more likely to develop an infection within 30 days. The goal is to see if this simple, safe tool can help catch infections earlier and improve recovery.
