研究概览
简要总结
To study the effect of applying a PHMB-based antiseptic solution to tie-over dressings in full-thickness surgical wounds in dermatologic surgery in order to minimise the development of surgical site infections. The bacterial dynamics in wounds pre-,intra-, and postoperatively will be examined in order to understand the pathogenesis of surgical site infections better.
详细描述
40 patients with suspected skin cancer in the face planned for full-thickness surgery will be randomised into two groups: One will receive a traditional tie-over dressing saturated with NaCl and the other group will receive a tie-over dressing saturated with a PHMB-based antiseptic. A quantitative and qualitative bacterial analysis of wounds by using a modified Levine's swabbing technique will be carried out pre-,intra-,and postoperatively. The effect of nasal colonisation with S.aureus on the development of surgical site infections will be investigated. All wounds will be followed a week after surgery to assess development of infections.

结局指标
主要结局
Measuring colony forming units in swabs collected from wounds pre-,intra- and postoperatively (7 days after surgery1). Change in bacterial load will be attributed to the effect of applying an antiseptic solution to wound dressings.
时间窗: 7 days
Wounds will be swabbed at end of surgery and then 7 days after surgery. Number and type of bacteria present will be analysed. Our hypothesis is that applying the antiseptic solution to the tie-over dressings will show a suppressed growth of bacteria when measured 7 days after surgery.
