Superiority trial comparing intraoperative wound irrigation with aqueous 10% povidone-iodine to saline for the purpose of reducing surgical site infection after elective gastrointestinal surgery: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the most common complications after gastrointestinal surgery, with a reported incidence of approximately 10%-25%, which is higher than the rates after other types of surgery. Intraoperative wound irrigation (IOWI) is a simple intervention for SSI prevention, and recent studies have reported that IOWI with aqueous povidone-iodine (PVP-I) is significantly more effective at reducing the incidence of SSI than saline. However, the evidence level of previous trials evaluating the efficacy of aqueous PVP-I solution for preventing SSI has been low.

Methods and analyses

We propose a single-institute, prospective, randomised, blinded-endpoint trial to assess the superiority of IOWI with aqueous 10% PVP-I solution compared with normal saline for reducing SSI in clean-contaminated wounds after elective gastrointestinal surgery. In the study group, IOWI with 40 mL of aqueous 10% PVP-I solution is performed for 1 min before skin suture, and in the control group, IOWI with 100 mL of saline is performed for 1 min before skin suture. We hypothesise that IOWI with aqueous 10% PVP-I solution will achieve a 50% reduction in the incidence of SSIs. The target number of cases is set at 950. The primary outcome is the incidence of incisional SSI up to postoperative day 30 and will be analysed in the modified intention-to-treat set.

Ethics and dissemination

This trial was designed and is being conducted by Saitama Medical Center, Jichi Medical University, with approval from the Bioethics Committee for Clinical Research, Saitama Medical Center, Jichi Medical University. Participant recruitment began in June 2019. The final results will be reported in international peer-reviewed journals immediately after trial completion.

Project description:ObjectiveSurgical site infection is a common complication of surgery, especially in orthopedics. Povidone-Iodine (PI) is one of the oldest and most commonly used disinfectants in surgery. However, the toxicity and antimicrobial effect of PI have not been discussed. In addition, no study has explored the optimum PI concentration for sterilization and tissue healing. This study explores the germicidal efficacy of different concentrations PI, in addition, the toxicity and antibacterial effects of PI irrigation in fracture surgery are also discussed.MethodsMethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) were used to evaluate the germicidal efficacy of PI in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, the effects of PI on bacterial growth were analyzed. 2.5%, 1.25%, 0.5%, 0.25%, 0.05%, 0.025%, 0.005%, 0.0025% and 0% PI was added into the bacterial suspension, besides, the bacterial algebra and growth rate were tested. Meanwhile, the fluorescence intensity of viable bacteria was also tested to evaluate the effects of PI on bacterial survival. In vivo, first, femoral fracture with wound infection rat models were established. Second, thyroid gland sections, blood thyroxine, urinary iodine, wound local skin, muscle and bone tissue sections, serum creatinine and alanine aminotransferase, serum and bone local tissue interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), bone morphogenetic protein (BMP-2), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and transforming growth factor (TGF-β1) were detected in rat femoral shaft fracture model with 5%, 2.5%, 0.5%, 0.05%, and 0% PI irrigation. Third, tissue bacteria culture was tested in rat femoral fracture with wound infection model with different concentrations PI irrigation.ResultsIn vitro, 2.5%, 1.25%, 0.5% PI inhibited the growth of bacteria. 1.25%, 0.5% PI killed all the bacteria, while 0.25%, 0.05% PI had not killed bacteria after about 10 min. The iodine absorption of 5%, 2.5%, 0.5% PI irrigation did not cause thyroid injury. The 5%, 2.5%, 0.5% PI irrigation did not make serum creatinine and alanine aminotransferase abnormal and can remove bacteria from wounds. The 0.5%, 2.5% PI irrigation can promote tissue healing and increase BMP-2, VEGF, TGF-β1, IL-10, in addition, decrease IL-6. 5% PI irrigation would inhibit tissue healing, and increase IL-6, decrease BMP-2, VEGF, TGF-β1, IL-10.ConclusionsPovidone-Iodine was a widely used disinfectant and 2.5%, 1.25% and 0.5% PI could effectively kill bacteria. Five percent and lower concentration PI irrigation was safe and could not cause thyroid, kidney and liver damage. The 0.5% PI irrigation was beneficial for tissue healing but 5% PI irrigation was the opposite.

Project description:IntroductionDental caries is the most common chronic childhood disease. Products of metabolism by bacteria populating the tooth surface induce development and progression of cavities.ObjectivesWe sought to determine whether a polyvinylpyrrolidone-iodine (PVP-I; povidone-iodine) and NaF topical varnish was superior to one containing only NaF in prevention of new dental caries lesions in a single-center randomized active-controlled trial based on a double-blind, parallel-group design.MethodsThe site was Pohnpei State, Federated States of Micronesia. The study population was healthy children 49 to 84 mo old who were enrolled in early childhood education: 284 were randomized (1:1 allocation), and 273 were included in year 1 analysis and 262 in year 2. The test varnish contained 10% PVP-I and 5.0% NaF. The comparator contained only 5.0% NaF but was otherwise identical. Varnishes were applied every 3 mo during 2 y. The primary outcome was the surface-level primary molar caries lesion increment (d2-4mfs) at 2 y. Caries lesion increments from baseline to year 1 and year 2 were compared between conditions with log-linear regression, adjusting for age and sex and whether the tooth was sound at baseline (free of caries lesions).ResultsAt year 1, the caries lesion increment for primary molars sound at baseline was 0.9 surfaces (SD = 1.5) for the test varnish versus 1.8 (SD = 2.2) for the comparator varnish with fluoride alone (adjusted rate ratio, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.31 to 0.81; P = .005). At year 2, the caries lesion increment for primary molars sound at baseline was 2.3 surfaces (SD = 2.8) for the test varnish as compared with 3.3 (SD = 2.7) for the comparator (adjusted rate ratio, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.52 to 1.03; P = .073). Teeth that were already cavitated at baseline did not show a preventive effect. There were no harms.ConclusionsA dental varnish containing PVP-I and NaF is effective in the primary prevention of cavities in the primary dentition (NCT03082196).Knowledge transfer statementThis study demonstrates that periodic application of a varnish containing NaF and PVP-I is effective in prevention of caries lesions and useful in assessing the potential of combined treatment.
