Antibioprophylaxis for Excision-graft Surgery in Burn Patient (A2B-TRIAL)
"Antibioprophylaxis for Excision-graft Surgery in Burn Patient: a Multicenter Randomized Double-blind Study: A2B Trial"
About This Trial
The indication of antibiotic prophylaxis in burn patients remains highly controversial and hasn't reached a consensus. The objective of antibiotic prophylaxis would be to reduce the risk of post-operative local and systemic infections. Burn surgery is associated with a high risk of bacteremia and postoperative infections and sepsis. However, antibiotic prophylaxis exposes to the risk of selecting drug-resistant pathogens as well as adverse effects of antibiotics (i.e Clostridium difficile colitis). Recommendations regarding perioperative prophylaxis using systemic antibiotics vary across sources. The lack of data precludes any international strong recommendations regarding the best strategy regarding antibiotic prophylaxis. The goal of this project is therefore to determine whether peri-operative systemic antibiotics prophylaxis could reduce the incidence of post-operative infections in burn patients.
