Alternatives Petroleum jelly products, such as Vaseline, can be good alternatives to bacitracin or Neosporin. This is not a huge deal, and I do not want to have it overshadow the important contributions of the study. Your message has been successfully sent to your colleague. FDA published a report in April 2019 that describes the evidence for use of bacitracin irrigations, as well as information about adverse reactions. Patients were randomized to receive irrigation with betadine or normal saline during spinal surgery. and Latif, Muhammad Shahid eCollection 2022. [8], A systematic review found that studies of antibiotic irrigation for implant-based breast augmentation were characterized by low-quality and high risk of bias. Three senior surgeons who participated in our study performed all procedures. Efficacy and cytotoxicity were assessed in triplicate experiments, with generalized linear mixed models. 0000033577 00000 n Subgroup analysis did not reveal any significant differences either. Mean duration of follow-up: 15.5 months (6-24 months). This authentication occurs automatically, and it is not possible to sign out of an IP authenticated account. This means that Neosporin offers broader antibiotic coverage that may fight more types of bacteria. Nonetheless, the use of multiple antibiotics and antiseptics has been reported in the literature.2 The practice of intraoperative wound irrigation is widespread despite the lack of high-quality data to support its use. 0000020891 00000 n In other clean surgical procedures with a low probability of infection, such as inguinal hernia In contrast, povidone-iodine, chlorhexidine, and sodium hypochlorite irrigation were effective against both S. aureus and E. coli (p < 0.001).

This study provides evidence for more effective bacterial coverage with povidone-iodine, chlorhexidine, and sodium hypochlorite compared to polymixin-bacitracin and saline solution. We need to further clarify our first publication that brought this whole topic to light in 2000.10 The study was performed because the lead author observed that there were many surgeons utilizing a variety of breast implant irrigations with no logic behind their use. Holubar, Marisa Hparatlala/Shutterstock. eCollection 2022. Keeping the area clean and using petroleum jelly can help speed healing, There are three main categories of wound healing, depending on treatment and wound type: primary, secondary, and tertiary.

Other combinations may be useful but the other studies had bacitracin included in the regime or did not specify the antibiotic irrigation. In addition, povidone-iodine also has microbicidal activity against fungi, protozoa, spores, and viruses. Literature on antibiotic-laden irrigation is either nonspecific or uses antibiotic irrigation with other solutions adding the potential risks of increased cost, antibiotic resistance, and adverse . Given the cost and antimicrobial resistance implications, our findings, combined with prior clinical literature, provide adequate reason to avoid widespread use of antibiotics in irrigation solutions.
