NCT06400394

Brief Summary

This is randomised double blinded placebo-controlled parallel-group study. Patients in Hospital Queen Elizabeth, Sabah and Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kelantan who undergo laparotomy for peritonitis will be equally randomised into two groups : intervention group receiving super-oxidised solution and the control group receiving normal saline during peritoneal and wound lavage. This is a superiority study assessing the effectiveness of the intervention. The patient and doctors directly involved in the partient care will be blinded in this study
