Microbial safety of vapocoolant spray on sites for arterial line and epidural placement
Article
Author: Fayed, Mohamed ; Nowak, Katherine ; Woude, Thomas Vander ; Wang, Anqi ; Attali, Ami
This investigation evaluated if skin sterility is maintained following application of Gebauer's Ethyl Chloride® vapocoolant spray. In this prospective, blinded, controlled study, the medial forearm (site of arterial line placement) and lower back (site of epidural placement) were swabbed before and after sterilisation and treatment with vapocoolant. Data were collected from 72 participants. There was no difference in microbial abundance between samples obtained from the wrist with ChloraPrep™ versus ChloraPrep + Gebauer's Ethyl Chloride (P>0.99), or in positive cultures (P=0.317). On the lower back, there was no difference in microbial abundance following ChloraPrep versus ChloraPrep + Gebauer's Ethyl Chloride (P=0.317), or in positive cultures (P=0.317). Supply chain shortages of lidocaine have prompted consideration of alternative local anaesthetics. These findings support use of Gebauer's Ethyl Chloride as an alternative to lidocaine for minimally invasive procedures such as placement of arterial lines and epidurals. Further investigation is necessary to explore the safety of vapocoolants in more invasive procedures.

The Dreaded 3-Minute Wait: Does It Really Prevent Operating Room Fires? The IGNITE Trial
Article
Author: Fraley, Jim ; Danis, Hillary ; Keenan, Corey ; Spitzer, Holly ; Roets, Jack ; Grasso, Samuel
ABSTRACT:
Introduction:
Operating room fires can have devastating consequences and as such must be prevented. There exists a paucity of literature requiring further elucidation regarding manufacturer recommendations of a predefined waiting period prior to patient draping after using alcohol-based surgical antiseptics, in order to reduce the risk of operating room fires.
Methods:
This was further investigated by exposing two common alcohol-based surgical antiseptics to electrosurgery and open flames at various power settings and time intervals in an ex vivo porcine model. The simulated surgical site was prepped following manufacturer recommendations and exposed to monopolar electrosurgery at low and high power, using both PURE CUT and COAGULATION modes, and open flame, at 15-s increments after application.
Results:
While using PURE CUT mode at both low and high power, no ignition was observed on hairless surgical sites prepped with ChloraPrep® at any time point. However, use of COAGULATION mode at both low and high powers resulted in ignition consistently out to 1-min post-application. Additionally, if the prepped area subjectively appeared wet, especially with pooling of the antiseptic, both COAGULATION mode and open flame caused ignition. Dry time was found to be about 59 s for both prep solutions. It was also observed that the amount of pressure directly correlated with the amount of prep dispersed and increased dry times.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, our data suggest an average dry time of less than 1-min, with ignition only observed when the antiseptic was visibly wet. Ignition did not occur on hairless skin with electrocautery on CUT mode using ChloraPrep at any time point. Additionally, ignition on hair-bearing skin was not observed past 3 min, with current manufacturer recommendations stating 1 h wait time for hair-bearing skin. Arbitrarily waiting a specific predetermined dry time until patient draping, as recommended by the manufacturers, may be unnecessary and lead to hours’ worth of time wasted each year. Ongoing research will further investigate the utility of drying the antiseptic after application and its affect on not only preventing ignition but also antimicrobial efficacy.

Hydrogen Peroxide May Reduce the Risk for Revision Surgery and Infection in Primary Shoulder Arthroplasty: Two-year Follow-up From a Prospective, Blinded, Controlled Trial
Article
Author: Joshua Mizels ; Daniel C. Lewis ; Peter N. Chalmers ; Robert Z. Tashjian
Background::
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the addition of hydrogen peroxide to the preoperative skin preparation for primary total shoulder arthroplasty is associated with a difference in patient-reported outcomes, risk for postoperative infection, and risk for revision surgery at a minimum of 2-year follow-up.
Methods::
This was a prospective, blinded, and controlled trial, which included a consecutive series of patients undergoing primary shoulder arthroplasty. The control group underwent standard sterile skin preparation using ethyl alcohol and ChloraPrep applicators, and the peroxide group had the same preparation with the addition of hydrogen peroxide between the alcohol and ChloraPrep applications. We then compared patient-reported outcome scores (American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Shoulder Score [ASES], simple shoulder test [SST], visual analog scale [VAS]), infections, and revision surgeries between the two groups at 2-year follow-up.
Results::
Of the 61 patients included in the original study, 52 of 58 (85%) living patients agreed to participate in this study. No preoperative differences were observed between groups. No difference was observed in ASES, SST, or VAS scores at 2 years. More revision surgeries were done in the control group (7 versus 2, P = 0.268) and Cutibacterium acnes infections (2 versus 0, P = 0.168).
Conclusion::
The addition of hydrogen peroxide to the preoperative skin preparation before primary shoulder arthroplasty is safe, and additional research is warranted to investigate whether it may decrease the risk for revision surgery and postoperative C acnes infection.
Level of Evidence::
