- Abstract
This article discusses a study on the use of syringe pressure irrigation with and without povidone iodine in preventing surgical site infections (SSI). SSI is a common complication of surgery that can have negative impacts on patients. The study found that pressure irrigation may be more effective in preventing SSI compared to surgical incision irrigation. However, the differences between the two methods were not statistically significant. Other studies have also shown that alternative methods, such as using clean gloves and tap water, can be just as effective in preventing infection. The findings suggest that syringe pressure irrigation with normal saline alone is a cost-effective alternative to using povidone iodine.
