Continuous Infusion Versus Intermittent IV Bolus of Cefazolin: Prevention of Surgical Site Infection During Orthopedic Surgeries in Egyptian Patients.
Sponsor: Helwan University
Summary
A randomozed control trial on adults who underwent orthopaedic surgery. To evaluate the effectiveness of intraoperative continuous infusion (CI) of cefazolin compared with intermittent (INT) cefazolin administration in preventing SSIs in the orthopaedic surgical population.
