Background summary
At the AVL outpatient clinic treatment of oncological wounds consists of 2
standard treatments: 1) rinsing wound with tap water and 2)rinsing wound with
antiseptic agent.
There is no guideline to suggest which treatment is most effective in reducing
micro-organism contamination within the wound.. It is unclear which treatment
is experienced by the patient as most comfortable by patients. There is no
scientific evidence which suggest one treatment is better than the other.
Although rinsing with tap water is significantly cheaper.
If both treathments result ina similar contamination reduction it would be
adviseble to choose tapwater as this is most cost-efficient. So this proves the
relevance of the aim of this study.
.
Study objective
Determine whether there is a difference in the reduction of bacterial
contamination between tap water and antiseptic agent (AdvaCyn) of contaminated
postoperative oncological wounds.
By using the Visual Analogue Score (VAS score), to measure the effect on odour
reduction during the 2 week treatment period.
By using the Visual Analogue Score (VAS score), to measure the effect on the
pain sensation before, during and after treatment.
Study design
The treatments consists of two different methods. These treatments are already
in use within this specific patientgroup. patients are required to attend 2x 30
minute consultations. During consultation a culture, pain score + a scent score
will be taken. the wound will be rinsed with 150cc water of antiseptic agent.
There will also be one telephone consultation whereby a pain, odour,
bleedingand infection checklist will becarried out.
The above guidelines have been encorpurated is standart care guidelines.
Intervention
Rinse wound 2 x a day with tap water.
Rinse wound 2 x a day with antiseptic agent (Advacyn).
Study burden and risks
It is about 2 treatment methods that are already appropriate for these
patients.
The burden for the patient is:
2 x 30 minutes consultation. During this consultation, a culture is taken,
asked for pain and scent score and rinsed with 150 cc water or antiseptic agent.
1 x 10 minutes telephone consultation. During this consultation, pain and odour
experience is questioned and if there has been bleeding or infection.
Upside down now also belong to regular care.
It consists of two different treatment methods.
The requirement for the patient is two consultations, duration 30 minutes. This
treatment is already in use within this specific patientgroups
