2.Hamstring graft bacterial contamination during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: clinical and microbiological study.
Badran MA1,2, Moemen DM3,4. Int Orthop. 2016 Mar 29. [Epub ahead of print]
PURPOSE: Autograft preparation for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has a potential for graft contamination. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the possibility of bacterial contamination of hamstring autograft during preparation and when dropped onto the operating room floor and methods of graft decontamination.
3.Antibiotics and antiseptics for pressure ulcers.
Norman G1, Dumville JC, Moore ZE, Tanner J, Christie J, Goto S. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2016 Apr 4;4:CD011586. [Epub ahead of print]
BACKGROUND: Pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores, decubitus ulcers and pressure injuries, are localised areas of injury to the skin or the underlying tissue, or both. A range of treatments with antimicrobial properties, including impregnated dressings, are widely used in the treatment of pressure ulcers. A clear and current overview is required to facilitate decision making regarding use of antiseptic or antibiotic therapies in the treatment of pressure ulcers. This review is one of a suite of Cochrane reviews investigating the use of antiseptics and antibiotics in different types of wounds. It also forms part of a suite of reviews investigating the use of different types of dressings and topical treatments in the treatment of pressure ulcers.
4.Does chlorhexidine and povidone-iodine preoperative antisepsis reduce surgical site infection in cranial neurosurgery?
Davies BM1, Patel HC1. Ann R Coll Surg Engl. 2016 Apr 8:1-4. [Epub ahead of print]
Introduction Surgical site infection (SSI) is a significant cause of postoperative morbidity and mortality. Effective preoperative antisepsis is a recognised prophylactic, with commonly used agents including chlorhexidine (CHG) and povidone-iodine (PVI). However, there is emerging evidence to suggest an additional benefit when they are used in combination. Methods We analysed data from our prospective SSI database on patients undergoing clean cranial neurosurgery between October 2011 and April 2014. We compared the case-mix adjusted odds of developing a SSI in patients undergoing skin preparation with CGH or PVI alone or in combination. Results SSIs were detected in 2.6% of 1146 cases. Antisepsis with PVI alone was performed in 654 (57%) procedures, while 276 (24%) had CHG alone and 216 (19%) CHG and PVI together. SSIs were associated with longer operating time (p<0.001) and younger age (p=0.03). Surgery type (p<0.001) and length of operation (p<0.
