Aims: To determine the effectiveness of 3, 6, and 9 liters of physiological saline for                   wound irrigation in grade II open fracture at lower extremity in reducing the number of bacterial colonies Study Design:  This observational study determined the quantity of physiological saline for wound irrigation in grade II open fracture at lower extremity which is effective in reducing the number of bacterial colonies. Place of Study: Moewardi Hospital Emergency Room and the Microbiology Laboratory of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sebelas Maret. Methodology: 16 patients with grade II open fracture at lower extremity who came and received treatment was included. Patients with grade II long bone open fracture less than six hours, patients with multiple open fractures of the long bones taken only in one place, patients who had not received medical treatment since the incident were included. Patients suffering from previous bone and/or soft tissue infections at the fracture site and suffering from multiple trauma who should receive immediate life-saving measures were included. Results: There were 12 patients who met criteria inclusion. After 3 L irrigation, there was a decrease in the amount of bacterial colony, same as 6 L irrigation, while there was no increase in the number of bacterial colonies in 9 L irrigation. There were significant differences in 3L, 6L, 9L irrigations (p = 0.001), but the most effective irrigation fluid was in 9 liters compared with 6 liters (p <0.05). Conclusion: Wound irrigation with 3, 6, and 9 liters of normal saline will significantly reduce the number of bacteria. However, irrigation with 9 liters of normal saline dilution in grade II open fracture at the lower extremity is the most effective.

Objective: To compare the incidence of surgical site infection after appendectomy wound irrigation with regular saline solution and imipenem solution. Study Design: Comparative randomized control trial Place and Duration of Study: Department of Surgery Unit-1, Sandeman Provincial Hospital Quetta from 1st September 2020 to 30th April 2021. Methodology: Eighty patients of both genders were presented in this study. Patients detailed demographics age, sex and body mass index were recorded after taking informed written consent. Patients underwent for appendectomy wound irrigation were included. Patients were equally divided into two equal groups, I and II. Group I had 40 patients and received imipenem and group II irrigated with saline solution with 40 patients. Outcomes were surgical site infection, deep abscess formation was observed post-operatively. Results: The mean age of the patients in group I was 26.11±2.03 years with mean BMI 23.61±3.32 kg/m2 and in group II mean age was 25.14±3.12 years with mean BMI 22.14±4.88 kg/m2. In group I, 32 (80%) patients had inflamed appendix, perforated appendix was in 7 (17.5%) and gangrenous appendix in 1 (2.5%) while in group II inflamed appendix in 34 (85%), perforated appendix in 4 (10%) and gangrenous appendix 2 (5%). Surgical site infection in group I was 3 (7.5%) and abscess formation in 2 (5%) cases while in group II SSI in 6 (15%) and abscess formation in 3 (7.5%) cases. Conclusion: Imipenem irrigation after appendectomy reduces wound infection. Healthcare costs and patient suffering due to infection can be reduced.

Comparative Results

CONTEXT: Endoscopic mucosal resection is an established modality for excision of sessile lesions in the gastrointestinal tract. Submucosal fluid injection creates a cushion and may prevent thermal injury and perforation. OBJECTIVES: This blind study investigated the performance of three different solutions to create submucosal fluid cushions in porcine stomach. METHODS: Three solutions were injected in the stomach of nine pigs BR1: normal saline solution, carboxymethylcellulose 0.5% and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose 0.25%. In each pig, submucosal injections with 6 mL per test-solution were performed. One drop of methylene blue was added to all injections for better visualization. The time for the bleb to disappear was recorded. RESULTS: The overall median time of visible submucosal cushion was 37 minutes (range 12-60 min) for hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, 31 minutes for carboxymethylcellulose (range 10-43 min) and 19 minutes for normal saline solution (range 8-37 min). There was no statistically significant difference neither between normal saline solution and carboxymethylcellulose (P = 0.146) nor carboxymethylcellulose and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (P = 0.119) but the median duration of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose was significantly longer than normal saline solution (P = 0.039). CONCLUSIONS: The length of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose submucosal fluid cushion is longer in comparison with normal saline solution. The median time for carboxymethylcellulose was not longer than normal saline solution. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, in the concentration of 0.25%, may be a durable alternative for submucosal injection.
