Grant Activity:
Sunrrise Australia - A randomised clinical trial of Single Use Negative pRessure dressing for Reduction In Surgical site infection following Emergency laparotomy
Purpose:
Surgical Site Infections (wound infections) affect at least 1 in 4 patients who have emergency abdominal (belly) surgery. New types of dressings might reduce infections, but they also usually cost more than older types. Single Use Negative Pressure Dresssings (SUNPD) have a pump within them that removes fluid from the wound, which may reduce the infection rate. This trial aims to test whether the extra cost of these dressings produces benefits for patients in reducing the infection rate.
