ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new treatment for a serious abdominal condition called secondary peritonitis, which can occur after issues like a perforated organ or an infection. The researchers want to find out if washing the abdominal cavity with a special solution, known as super-oxidized solution (SOS), can help reduce the risk of infections and death in patients undergoing emergency surgery for this condition. The hope is that using this solution will lead to better outcomes for patients facing this medical emergency.

To participate in the trial, individuals must be over 18 years old and scheduled for emergency abdominal surgery due to secondary peritonitis. They should not be pregnant or have certain types of peritonitis that are not the focus of this study. Participants can expect to receive careful monitoring during and after their treatment. By joining this trial, they have the chance to contribute to important research that could improve care for future patients with similar conditions.
