Podcast 719: Normal Saline vs. Tap Water for Wound Irrigation
Manage episode 304342789 series 1397179
Contributor: Ricky Dhaliwal, MD
Educational Pearls:
- Multiple RCTs and a Cochrane Review found there is no difference in wound infection rates when irrigating with tap water
- Pressure of the water and how extensively the wound is irrigated were the most important factors affecting infection rates
- Quantity and type of water were independently not as important
