Supplemental Oxygen and Surgical-site Infections: An Alternating Intervention Controlled Trial.
Our primary objective is to develop a clinical pathway for care of patients having colorectal
surgery at the Clinic. In particular, the investigators would like to determine what
intraoperative concentration of oxygen is optimal in our patients.
surgery at the Clinic. In particular, the investigators would like to determine what
intraoperative concentration of oxygen is optimal in our patients.
The investigators therefore propose to test the primary hypothesis that supplemental oxygen
(80% versus 30%) reduces the risk of a composite of surgical sites infection and potentially
oxygen-related wound complications. Secondarily, the investigators will assess the
incremental cost benefit of 80% versus 30% oxygen. As a safety measure, enough oxygen will
always be given to maintain oxygen saturation (as determined by pulse oximetry) ≥95%.
