NCT03226626

Brief Summary

This is a multicenter randomized clinical trial (RCT) comparing two modes of antibiotic delivery: Control: Intravenous Antibiotic Delivery (IVAD) Treatment: IVAD + TAAD The Food \& Drug Administration (FDA) has approved our Investigational New Drug (IND) application to conduct this RCT. An IND application was necessary because subcutaneous injection of antibiotics in general, and cefazolin and metronidazole in particular are considered to be "off-label". In addition, the tumescent formulation of cefazolin (1gm) and metronidazole (500mg/100ml) in a dilute solution of lidocaine (1gm), epinephrine (1mg) in 100ml and sodium bicarbonate (10mEq/10ml) added a 1000ml bag of 0.9% sodium chloride (total volume 1210ml) is also considered "off-label." This trial will also prospectively study the HK Surgical SubQKath, an over-the-needle subcutaneous catheter specifically designed to deliver relatively large volumes of a relatively dilute TAAD solution. The TAAD trial will document the safety and efficacy of the HK SubQKath

Study Arms (2)

IVAD

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

IV antibiotic delivery (IVAD) alone as surgical site infection prevention. The intervention is IV antibiotics alone.

Drug: Tumescent Anesthesia and antibiotic delivery (TAAD) plus IVAD

TAAD + IVAD

EXPERIMENTAL

Both subcutaneous tumescent anesthesia \& antibiotic delivery (TAAD) and IVADThe The intervention is subcutanious and IV antibiotics

Drug: Tumescent Anesthesia and antibiotic delivery (TAAD) plus IVADDevice: SubQKath

Interventions

Concomitant tumescent anesthesia antibiotic delivery (TAAD) \& Intravenous antibiotic delivery (IVAD).

Also known as: SubQKath
IVADTAAD + IVAD
SubQKathDEVICE

The device intervention consists of using the SubQKath device to provide subcutaneous delivery of antibiotics.

TAAD + IVAD

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Subjects greater than 18 years of age scheduled for surgical procedures considered to have a high risk for a surgical site infection (SSI) such as 1) secondary repair of a ventral hernia, 2) open bariatric surgery, 3) open abdominal colorectal surgery, 4) trauma surgery, 5) burn surgery or 6) sternotomy.
  • Patients ought to have one of the following risk factors for surgical site infection: emergency surgery, obesity, diabetes mellitus, cancer surgery, be immune-compromised or otherwise be at an increased risk for SSI, or be in a medically indigent environment where surgical aseptic technique is suboptimal

You may not qualify if:

  • Pre-existing skin infection Pregnant Less than 18 years old
