NCT04146116

Brief Summary

Many surgical site infections are caused by bacteria that is transferred from a patient's nose to their open surgical wound. Some small studies have shown that putting povidone-iodine in a patient's nose reduces this risk. This study aims to evaluate the real-world effectiveness of nasal povidone-iodine (PROFEND®) in a group of 50 patients at the University of Iowa.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of Participants With Staphylococcus Aureus Nasal Colonization

    A dry, sterile, rayon swab will be used to sample the anterior apex portion of the right and left nostril. This swab will be tested for S. aureus bacteria. If bacteria are found in either nostril, the participant is categorized as being colonized with S. aureus (e.g. carries the bacteria in their nose with no signs or symptoms of infection).

    Within 6 hours after first dose of povidone-iodine

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Number of Participants With Staphylococcus Aureus Nasal Colonization

    Within 24 hours after surgery

  • Number of Participants With Surgical Site Infection

    Within 30 days of surgery

Study Arms (1)

Nasal povidone-iodine

EXPERIMENTAL

Intranasal povidone-iodine (PDI PROFEND) will be applied to the patients' noses before orthopedic trauma surgery and after surgery. This intranasal povidone-iodine was developed under the Tentative Final Monograph for Health-Care Antiseptic Drug Products 21 CFR Parts 333 and 369 (Docket # 75N-183H), Federal Register Volume 59, Number 116, Friday, June 17, 1994, Proposed Rules. However, the product need not be controlled like a pharmaceutical drug. The product may be stored and controlled similarly to an iodine or alcohol skin preparation product.

Drug: intranasal povidone-iodine

Interventions

povidone-iodine USP, 10% w/w antiseptic

Also known as: PROFEND
Nasal povidone-iodine
