Post Operative Surgical Site Infection clinical trials at UCSF
1 research study open to eligible people
A post operative surgical site infection is an infection that starts in a wound after surgery. UCSF is testing a protocolized antibiotic care plan versus usual care in people with severe open fractures. The randomized study runs at other hospitals and records infection outcomes.
New Strategy for Protocolized Antibiotic Care for Severe Open Fractures: SEXTANT
open to eligible people ages 18-64
The proposed study is a multi-center, prospective randomized controlled trial comparing current standard of care treatment to the SEXTANT treatment protocol in patients with Type III open fractures of the tibia and IIIB fractures of the ankle and hindfoot.
