U.S., Nov. 13 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07934199) titled 'Ceftazidime Safety and Efficacy in the Prevention of Surgical Site Infections' on Nov. 06.
Brief Summary: The research team hypothesizes that ceftazidime, in conjunction with vancomycin, is a safe and effective way to prevent surgical site infections in lumbar spinal surgery.
Objective 1: Evaluate the drain and serum concentrations of ceftazidime + vancomycin from 0-3 days postoperative. Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that intrawound ceftazidime will remain concentrated at the wound site, and there will be minimal absorption of ceftazidime into the circulatory system.
Objective 2: Evaluate incidence of surgical site inf...
