Effectiveness of a gentamicin impregnated collagen sponge on reducing sternal wound infections following cardiac surgery: a meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials
INTRODUCTION Gentamicin impregnated collagen sponges are licensed for use after cardiac surgery in over 50 countries but their effectiveness at preventing sternal wound infections (SWIs) remains uncertain. The aim of this meta-analysis was to assess the current evidence for effectiveness of such sponges at preventing SWIs in patients after cardiac surgery. METHODS A systematic search of the l...
متن کاملGentamicin-Impregnated Collagen Sponge: Effectiveness in Preventing Sternal Wound Infection in High-Risk Cardiac Surgery
Sternal wound infections represent one of the most frequent complications after cardiac surgery and are associated with high postoperative mortality. Several preventive methods have been introduced, and recently, gentamicin-impregnated collagen sponges (GICSs) have shown a promising effect in reducing the incidence of this type of complications. Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that h...
متن کاملDoes a gentamicin-impregnated collagen sponge reduce sternal wound infections in high-risk cardiac surgery patients?
OBJECTIVES Sternal wound infections occurring after cardiac surgery have a critical impact on morbidity, mortality and hospital costs. This study evaluated the efficacy of a gentamicin-collagen sponge in decreasing deep sternal-wound infections in high-risk cardiac surgery patients. METHODS We conducted a quasi-experimental single-centre prospective cohort study in diabetic and/or overweight ...
متن کاملGentamicin-impregnated collagen sponge for preventing sternal wound infection after cardiac surgery
The frequency of sternal wound infection (SWI) after cardiac surgery ranges from 0.5% to 8% and is associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and treatment cost. Perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis is not sufficient to fully prevent the contamination of the surgical access site. One of the most effective methods for the prevention of wound infection seems to be the use of gentamicin-imp...
متن کاملImpact of Gentamicin - Collagen Sponge (Collatamp) on the incidence of sternal wound infection in high risk cardiac surgery patients
OBJECTIVE Local delivery of prophylactic antibiotic to the wound site with an implanted, reabsorbable, gentamicin-containing collagen sponge (Collatamp) is a strategy that has been claimed to prevent sternal wound infection after cardiac surgery. The purpose of this study was to review our experience with Collatamp in cardiac surgery patients deemed at high risk for sternal wound infection. M...
