      Antibiotics for Preventing Surgical Infections

      Halifax, Nova Scotia
      Orthognathic surgery describes a group of procedures aimed at correcting developmental or acquired deformities of the jaws and facial skeleton. The goal of these procedures is to improve speech, jaw and dental function, aesthetics, and symptoms of sleep apnea. This is accomplished by surgical repositioning of the upper jaw (maxilla) and lower jaw (mandible). The most common procedures are lefort I osteotomies (upper jaw repositioning) and bilateral sagittal split osteotomies (lower jaw repositioning). At our institution, almost all cases include one or both of these two procedures. The majority of cases include bilateral sagittal split osteotomies (BSSO). As access to the jaws is through the oral cavity, these procedures are considered to be clean-contaminated surgeries due to the high intra-oral bacterial load. The result is that surgical site infections (SSIs) occur in 10-15% of cases. Studies show that the vast majority of these infections occur in the lower jaw (BSSO sites), presumably due to pooling of saliva and debris. SSIs are associated with patient discomfort, prolonged hospital stays, increased morbidity, and increased cost to healthcare systems. The use of peri-operative antibiotics has been shown to significantly reduce the incidence of SSI following orthognathic surgery. There is currently no consensus on the dosing or specific antibiotic to be used. There is strong evidence that pre-operative antibiotics significantly decrease SSI compared to no antibiotics. However, to date, there is no good evidence to support the use of post-operative antibiotics to further decrease the rate of infection. Several studies have examined the use of post-operative antibiotics ranging between 1-7 days. The majority of studies were not able to demonstrate a statistically significant difference to justify the use of post-operative antibiotics. A systematic review by Danda and Ravi in 2011 suggested that there likely is a benefit to the use of post-operative antibiotics. Danda and colleagues in 2017 later conducted a trial comparing pre-operative antibiotics alone compared to pre-operative combined with post-operative antibiotics. A statistically significant difference was not found, however, they felt that this was due to a limited sample size. Overall, there is no robust data that supports the use of post-operative antibiotics. The World Health Organization guidelines currently recommend against the use of post-operative antibiotics in orthognathic surgery. However, they do comment that there is some weak evidence that suggests its use. It was deemed that this low quality evidence did not outweigh the potential harm of antimicrobial resistance, which results from inappropriate overuse of antibiotics. Antimicrobial resistance is a serious, growing problem which has deadly consequences. Our current protocol at the QEII Health Sciences Center for peri-operative antibiotic administration is a single pre-operative dose of 2g cefazolin IV, followed by further doses every 8 hours post-operatively for a total of 24 hours (3 post-operative doses). Our study aims to investigate whether there is a need for these additional post-operative doses. If there is a benefit to these additional doses, the research team aims to investigate whether this benefit outweighs the risks. This question is of great importance in order to avoid an unnecessary contribution to antibiotic resistance and unnecessary potential adverse effects. Participants will be assigned a study number and randomly allocated to one of two groups. Group A will receive a single pre-operative dose of 2g IV cefazolin. Group B will receive a pre-operative dose of 2g IV cefazolin, followed by an additional three doses post-operatively every 8 hours for a total of 24 hours. Informed consent will be obtained at each participant's pre-operative assessment in the days leading up to the procedure. The participant will then select a group designation from a sufficiently mixed jar, and group A or B will be assigned to their study number. For each patient, the procedures completed will be documented, along with age, sex, smoking status, length of procedures, and complications. Complications including medication adverse reaction (allergy, toxicity, side effects), surgical complications, and any other significant complications related to the medications or deemed to be relevant to infection risk will be documented. Procedures will be carried out in the standard fashion. Patients will receive the same post-operative instructions and will be discharged with a chlorhexidine mouth rinse to be used for two weeks. Patients will return for follow-up at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 6 weeks post-operatively. Surgical site infection diagnosis will be made according to the CDC criteria and will be reported as either superficial, deep, or organ/space infections. Date of occurrence, location of infection, and treatment provided will be recorded on a standard form provided to surgeons.

      Barbed vs Non-Barbed Sutures for Emergency Abdominal Surgery

      Los Angeles, California
      This randomized control trial aims to compare the efficacy of triclosan-coated barbed suture (TCB) versus conventional non-barbed polydioxanone (PDS) suture in the closure of the abdominal fascia after emergency exploratory laparotomy. The study addresses the common complications of incisional surgical site infections (SSI) and fascial dehiscence (FD) following emergency exploratory laparotomy. The primary objective is to assess the effectiveness of triclosan-coated barbed suture and conventional non-barbed suture in reducing the rates of incisional SSI and FD within 30 days postoperatively. The study population comprises adult patients undergoing emergent laparotomy for traumatic injuries or acute intraabdominal pathology. This prospective, single-blinded randomized control trial will be conducted at Los Angeles General Medical Center. Patients will be randomized to receive either triclosan-coated barbed suture or conventional non-barbed suture for abdominal fascial closure, with a standard closure technique employed. Patients will be followed up for 30 days postoperatively to monitor surgical site infections, fascial dehiscence, and other outcomes. Statistical analysis will be conducted to compare outcomes between the study arms, assessing the efficacy of triclosan-coated barbed suture in reducing the incidence of SSI and FD, along with secondary outcomes.

      Sun Protection for Surgical Scar Healing

      Sacramento, California
      The purpose of this study is to determine the potential influence of sun protection on the aesthetic outcome of post-surgical scars following the reconstruction of Mohs micrographic surgery defects via linear repair. This study will be performed as a randomized split-wound study. Half of the wound will be treated with zinc containing sunscreen and the other half of the wound would not be treated. Three-months post-surgery, the scar will be evaluated via the patient observer scar assessment scale (POSAS), a validated scar instrument, as well as a colorimeter to measure the amount of vascularity, and hyperpigmentation between the treated and the non-treated area compared to the 'surrounding skin' defined as skin in the proximity but not adjacent to the wound. Any adverse events will also be recorded.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How much do Surgical Wound clinical trials pay?

      Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

      How do Surgical Wound clinical trials work?

      After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Surgical Wound trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Surgical Wound is 12 months.

      How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

      Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

      What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

      The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

      Do I need to be insured to participate in a Surgical Wound medical study?

      Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

      What are the newest Surgical Wound clinical trials?

      Most recently, we added eOPRA for Amputation, Thrivorship Program for Traumatic Injury Survivors and Fat Grafting for Burns to the Power online platform.
