Conditions

Efficacy Povidone Soaked Suture in Reducing Surgical Site Infection

Keywords

suture, povidone, surgical site infection

Brief summary

To determine efficacy of using 3 minutes povidone-soaked suture in reducing surgical site infection during wound closure in elective surgery.

Detailed description

Participant recruitment and randomisation based on eligibility based on CONSORT. Patient will get either package A or B which determine whether they are getting povidone-soaked suture or ordinary suture during wound closure. Postoperative, follow up on D10 and D30 of patient well being and signs and symptoms of surgical site infection

Interventions

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Povidone-soaked Sutures versus Ordinary Sutures for Reducing Surgical Site Infection: Randomize Control Trial Study in General Surgery Cases of Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia6 monthsThere is difference of outcome using povidone-soaked suture and ordinary suture. In this study, our hypothesis the suture with povidone-soaked will reduce the SSIs rate during closure and it will be assessed on day 10 and day 30 post-operative. Few measurement are used in detection of SSI based on clinical and biochemical measurement such as signs of inflammation and total white cell count.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Povidone-soaked Sutures versus Ordinary Sutures for Reducing Surgical Site Infection: Randomize Control Trial Study in General Surgery Cases of Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia6 monthsThere is association between povidone-soaked suture and ordinary suture in reducing surgical site infection.
