However, there is limited evidence of these ototoxic effects in humans. This is the first report to show the ototoxic effects of povidoneiodine in a human subject.Patient: A 36-year-old woman came to our hospital complaining of left unilateral persistent hearing loss. One month before presentation, her child had accidentally struck her on her left ear. She applied approximately three drops of povidone-iodine(10% weight/volume) into her left auditory canal. Immediately after application, she felt severe pain and vertigo. An audiogram revealed severe left unilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Magnetic resonance imaging showed mild enhancement of the left vestibule and basal turn of the left cochlea.Conclusions: Even a single application of povidone-iodine could cause significant hearing loss and disequilibrium. It should, therefore, be used with caution.展开更多

Preoperative skin cleaning with antiseptics has been shown to reduce the microbial burden of the skin and results in reduced incidence of SSI. However, the ideal skin cleaning agent remains to be established. Aim: To compare the efficacy of Povidone-Iodine/Povidone-Iodine (PI-PI) combination with that of Chlorhexidine-Gluconate/Alcohol (CG-A) combination in re-ducing SSI in Orthopaedic surgeries. Methods: This was a prospective, randomized, double-blinded, controlled study. Subjects that met the selection criteria and gave consent were randomized into PI-PI group (test group) and the CG-A group (control group). Both the patients and the assessors for SSI were blinded to the group a participant belongs. Blocking was done on the type of surgery to cancel the confounding effect of surgery type on SSI. Standard perioperative protocols were applied to both groups. Assessment for features of SSI was done on the 3rd day, 7th day, 14th day, 6th week and 12th-week postoperative period. The diagnosis of SSI was made based on the Centers for Disease and Control (CDC) guidelines. Results: We recruited 124 patients for this study, 62 males and 54 females. The mean age of the subjects was 37.5 years (SD = 14.7 years). Sixty-two subjects were randomized into each group. There was no significant difference in the distribution of the genders in the study arms. Other possible confounders such as duration of hospital stay, use of drains, the surgeon involved and age were evenly distributed in the two groups. Eight patients did not complete the study. The overall incidence of SSI in the study was 2.6%. Subjects in the control group had an SSI of 3.4% while those in the PI-PI group had a rate of 1.8%;however, this was not significant, p = 0.579. Conclusion: Both CG-A and PI-PI combinations are equally efficacious as preoperative skin antiseptic in Orthopaedic implant surgeries.展开更多

Ethanol (EtOH) is sometimes applied to prevent local recurrence after curettage of benign bone tumors. However, the effects of PVI and EtOH on surrounding soft tissue and on bone union are unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine whether PVI or EtOH adversely affects the cancellous bone healing of the osteotomy site at the proximal tibia in rats. Methods: A cancellous bone osteotomy was performed at the right proximal tibia in 4-month-old, female, Sprague Dawley rats. Vehicle, 10% PVI, or 95% EtOH-soaked gauze was inserted into the osteotomy site and maintained for 6 minutes. The rats were euthanized 2 or 4 weeks after the osteotomy. Results: Two weeks after treatment, the bone union rate was significantly higher in the vehicle group than in the PVI group and the EtOH group (p < 0.001). However, the bone union rate was not significantly different between the PVI and EtOH groups. There was no significant difference among the three groups in the bone union rate 4 weeks after treatment. Conclusion: PVI or EtOH delayed bone union of the cancellous bone osteotomy site of the proximal tibia in the early phase (2 weeks), but not at 4 weeks, in rats.展开更多

A total of 211 patients were included in the study. Patients were evaluated for the incidence of clinical signs, late complications, management preferences, and the effect of diluted povidone-iodine(d-PVP-I) 2%. RESULTS: Patients’ mean age was 33.03±14.76 y. We observed an increase in the number of cases according to the years. At presentation and/or early follow-up, the clinical signs were conjunctival hyperemia(100%), conjunctival follicules(79.1%), edema of the eyelids(39.3%), chemosis(16.1%), pseudomembrane formation(16.6%), and corneal epitheliopathy(29.9%). During late follow-up 13.3% patients developed conjunctival subepithelial fibrosis, and 39.8% developed SEI. A significant decrease in the incidence of SEI development was observed in patients who used d-PVP-I 2%(P=0.032;33.3% vs 45.9%, respectively in patients who received d-PVP-I 2% and who did not).CONCLUSION: Adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis has a tremendous effect on patient’s comfort and abilities in short-term. Additionally, almost half of the patients develop visual problems related to SEI. According to our clinical experience, using d-PVP-I 2% in the first days of adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis might be helpful in reducing the risk of SEI as a complication.展开更多

An average of 2% to 4% of all Total Knee Arthroplasties (TKA/TKR) result in a Prosthetic Joint Infection (PJI) (Ashraf et al. , 2018). These surgical site infections cause significant distress to the patient and require extended courses of antibiotic treatment and revision surgery of the infected joint. SSIs also reduce financial reimbursement to the surgery facility and affect the performing surgeon’s performance scores. To prevent surgical infection, healthcare facilities have implemented various screening or decolonization methods to prevent surgical infection to may cause infection. Various treatment methods exist for managing MRSA preoperatively which include Povidone Iodine (PI) application as a universal decolonization method and/or screening every patient pre-operatively for MRSA and treating MRSA-positive patients with Mupirocin ointment. Both interventions are well-established in the literature. At the author’s facility, the elective TKR populations were analyzed while each intervention was implemented. In 2019 TKR patients underwent MRSA swabbing and testing and in 2021 PI decolonization was the decolonization method of choice. The study revealed that MRSA testing and swabbing were better at reducing SSI related to MRSA than Povidone Iodine decolonization.展开更多

文摘Background: Povidone-iodine (PVI) irrigation is currently used to decrease the frequency of postoperative surgical site infections. Ethanol (EtOH) is sometimes applied to prevent local recurrence after curettage of benign bone tumors. However, the effects of PVI and EtOH on surrounding soft tissue and on bone union are unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine whether PVI or EtOH adversely affects the cancellous bone healing of the osteotomy site at the proximal tibia in rats. Methods: A cancellous bone osteotomy was performed at the right proximal tibia in 4-month-old, female, Sprague Dawley rats. Vehicle, 10% PVI, or 95% EtOH-soaked gauze was inserted into the osteotomy site and maintained for 6 minutes. The rats were euthanized 2 or 4 weeks after the osteotomy. Results: Two weeks after treatment, the bone union rate was significantly higher in the vehicle group than in the PVI group and the EtOH group (p < 0.001). However, the bone union rate was not significantly different between the PVI and EtOH groups. There was no significant difference among the three groups in the bone union rate 4 weeks after treatment. Conclusion: PVI or EtOH delayed bone union of the cancellous bone osteotomy site of the proximal tibia in the early phase (2 weeks), but not at 4 weeks, in rats.
