Summary
Many surgical site infections are caused by bacteria that is transferred from a patient's nose to their open surgical wound. Some small studies have shown that putting povidone-iodine in a patient's nose reduces this risk. This study aims to evaluate the real-world effectiveness of nasal povidone-iodine (PROFEND®) in a group of 50 patients at the University of Iowa.
