Examination of the Effect of Skin Antisepsis With Pre-heated Povidone Iodine on Surgical Site Infections: A Quasi-Experimental Study
Surgical Site Infections
About this trial
This is an interventional screening trial for Surgical Site Infections focused on measuring Povidone Iodine, Skin antisepsis, Abdominal Surgery
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Being 18 years or older
- Having undergone abdominal surgery
- Volunteering to participate in the research
- Patients without risk of preoperative malnutrition
Exclusion Criteria:
- Those who test positive for known Povidone Iodine allergy
- Those who use steroids and immunosuppressive drugs
- Those who used antibiotics due to infection in the last two weeks (prophylactic antibiotic use is not included in this item since all patients were given antibiotics for prophylaxis on the first day before surgery)

Skin preparations will performe using Povidone 10% 1000 mL solution (Turkuaz Chemistry, İstanbul, Turkey) Povidone-iodine will heat to 37°C using a gel warmer (KGW-1 Keewell Medical Technology, Foshen, China) in the warm group. The day before the operation, the patient will be met and informed about the study and verbal and written consent will be obtained stating that they are willing to participate in the study. The weight tracking of the patients will be determined using a digital weight meter provided by the researcher. Patient evaluation will be made with NRS-2002 in terms of malnutrition risk. Antibiotic prophylaxis of 1000 mg available in the operating room will be administered 30-60 minutes before the operation. Before the incision, a wound culture sample will be taken with sterile transport swap and sent to the laboratory for culture study.
