Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialDoes supplemental perioperative oxygen administration reduce the incidence of wound infection in elective colorectal surgery?
An association has been proposed between perioperative administration of 80% oxygen and a lower incidence of wound infection after colorectal surgery. The present study was conducted to assess this hypothesis. ⋯ The results of this study showed no reduction in the incidence of wound infection following elective colorectal surgery in patients receiving 80% oxygen during the perioperative period.
