This study looks at whether starting antibiotics soon after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest helps patients who are unlikely to have an infection. Antibiotics may prevent or treat infection-related complications, but only if certain infection and health conditions are met.
This study tests whether taking antibiotics after having an abscess drained can lower the chance of a fistula forming. A fistula is an abnormal tunnel that can develop after an abscess, and this trial aims to see if antibiotics help prevent it.
This study tests whether putting antibiotic powder directly into an open fracture wound in the emergency room can improve care outcomes. It focuses on adults treated shortly after injury.
This trial tests whether a single antibiotic (amoxicillin-clavulanate) works as well as taking two antibiotics (amoxicillin-clavulanate plus ciprofloxacin) for fever caused by chemotherapy in people with certain blood cancers. The goal is to treat the fever at home, avoiding a hospital stay, while keeping you safe and comfortable.
This trial tests whether taking preventive antibiotics (or a placebo sugar pill) can lower the risk of infections in people who receive hemodialysis through a catheter. It may help protect you from serious catheter-related infections, but you must be able to follow the study’s medicine and consent rules.
This study tests whether taking antibiotics before a tooth extraction and bone graft procedure helps prevent infections, compared to a placebo (a pill with no active medicine). It may help you heal better after surgery.
