Official title
Direct Resuscitation of the Open Peritoneum: A Randomized Controlled Trial in Non-Traumatic Patients
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The DROP trial evaluates two ways of treating patients whose abdomens are left open after their abdominal surgery. The current standard of care at Sanford is for patients to have their wound covered with a sterile dressing connected to a vacuum with suction, which removes fluid from the abdomen. In this trial, we are evaluating the benefits of adding dialysis fluid to the abdomen periodically, prior to suctioning it out with the vacuum system. This trial will show if the addition of this fluid lowers the risk of complications and death, and allows the surgeon to close the abdomen sooner
