Abstract
This study introduces a novel approach by proposing a dressing impregnated with vancomycin and chlorhexidine for postoperative care, specifically targeting patients undergoing orthopedic surgeries. The research design involved a pilot study with a randomized control group, aiming to evaluate the vancomycin with chlorhexidine dressing's efficacy and safety. A total of 12 patients used impregnated dressing and 9 used the same dressing without impregnation. Despite limitations, including the small sample size and single-center study location, our findings demonstrate the safety of the impregnated dressing in trauma surgeries, indicating potential applicability in broader surgical contexts. In conclusion, this study contributes to the discourse on preventive strategies for SSIs, presenting a pioneering approach with the vancomycin and chlorhexidine-impregnated dressing. Future research endeavors, incorporating larger-scale studies and addressing study limitations, are crucial for advancing the understanding and implementation of effective postoperative care strategies.
