Operating room ventilation with laminar airflow shows no protective effect on the surgical site infection rate in orthopedic and abdominal surgery.

30 Oct 2008 OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether operating room (OR) ventilation with (vertical) laminar airflow impacts on surgical site infection (SSI) rates. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort-study based on routine surveillance data. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Sixty-three ... Read more...

Effects of a perioperative smoking cessation intervention on postoperative complications: a randomized trial.

30 Oct 2008 OBJECTIVE: To determine whether an intervention with smoking cessation starting 4 weeks before general and orthopedic surgery would reduce the frequency of postoperative complications. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Complications are a major concern ... Read more...

Effect of volume on total hip arthroplasty revision rates in the United States Medicare population.

30 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: Fewer short-term complications following total hip arthroplasty have been associated with greater hospital and surgeon procedure volume. It remains unclear if procedure volume is associated with longer-term clinical outcomes and ... Read more...
