In pediatrics, shunt infection is considered the most common complication of ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunts insertion and the main cause of shunt failure. Careful surgical technique and hygienic ski...
A retrospective, case control study conducted on 80 pediatric patients with active hydrocephalus. The control group (a single step of preoperative skin antisepsis using povidone-iodine and isopropyl a...
For the entire sample, shunt infections were encountered in 11 cases (13.7%). Shunt infection was significantly higher in preterm babies (P = 0.010), patients with previous shunt revision (P < 0.001) ...
Two steps of preoperative skin antisepsis using chlorhexidine/alcohol as a first step followed by povidone-iodine scrub solution may significantly reduce the infection rate in pediatric VP shunts surg...
Surgical site infection (SSI) remains a challenge in healthcare, contributing to prolonged hospital stays, increased healthcare costs, and adverse patient outcomes, including mortality. Effective preo...
We searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases up to June 2024 to identify studies comparing PVI versus CHG for preoperative skin antisepsis. We calculated odds ratios (ORs) for binary outcomes, w...
Sixteen randomised controlled trials (RCTs) were included, involving a total of 13,721 patients, among whom 6,836 (49.8%) received PVI. Compared to CHG, PVI was associated with a non-significant reduc...
PVI as preoperative skin antisepsis demonstrated a non-significant reduction in deep SSI compared to CHG but was associated with an increased risk of overall and superficial SSI. Despite these finding...
