optiTHERMM: A trainee-led international collaborative survey on preoperative patient body temperature monitoring and management for major burn injuries

Major burn injuries are often accompanied by disturbances in thermoregulation, with perioperative hypo- and hyperthermia presenting significant challenges for clinicians. Despite its implications for patient outcomes, research into perioperative thermoregulation and its influence on surgical decision-making remains limited. This international study represents the largest investigation of thermoregulation practices in major burns to date. While a […]

Chlorhexidine versus povidone-iodine skin antisepsis before upper limb surgery (CIPHUR): an international multicentre prospective cohort study

Surgical site infection (SSI) is the most common and costly complication of surgery. International guidelines recommend topical alcoholic chlorhexidine (CHX) before surgery. However, upper limb surgeons continue to use other antiseptics, citing a lack of applicable evidence, and concerns related to open wounds and tourniquets. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of […]
