A Cluster-randomized Factorial Crossover Trial, Comparing Antibiotic Mono-prophylaxis With Cefazolin vs. Dual-prophylaxis With Cefazolin Plus Vancomycin and Conventional Wound Dressing vs. Prevena Negative-pressure Wound Management
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Prevena, Cefazolin, and 2 other interventions for Surgical Site Infections. Completed, enrolled 4,107 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
This vanguard study will be conducted at two study sites in Canada. It is a cluster randomized trial to test a combination of two antibiotics for antibiotic prophylaxis as compared to routine prophylaxis with one single antibiotic, and to test a negative-pressure wound management system (Prevena) versus standard wound dressing to reduce chest wound infections.
