This Phase 3 study tests whether giving a broad set of preventive antibiotics before certain high-risk orthopedic surgeries lowers the chance of serious wound or bone infection. It mainly targets people who have contaminated wounds, tumor-related surgery, or known high-risk germs on the skin.
This study tests whether giving antibiotics through a vein and using special stitches that fight germs can help prevent infections after open groin surgery in children. It may be helpful for children having routine groin surgery as a day procedure.
This study tests whether cleaning the vagina with betadine before a cesarean section helps lower the chance of infections after surgery. The goal is to make recovery safer and easier for women having either planned or emergency C-sections.
This trial tests whether giving a low dose of the antibiotic gentamicin directly into the bladder through the catheter can prevent infections in people who are critically ill and have a Foley catheter. If you qualify, you might receive this treatment to help reduce the risk of a catheter-related urinary tract infection.
This trial tests whether a single dose of the antibiotic azithromycin before a planned C-section can prevent infections after delivery. It is for pregnant people with a singleton or twins who are not in labor or have not had their water break.
This trial tests a type of antibiotic called aminoglycosides to treat early sepsis (a serious infection). It is for adults in the hospital who are sick enough to need strong antibiotics but not in the worst stage of the illness.
