The IMPACTS Program will officially be launching 4 trials in October 2021 at 3 sites in Ontario (Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, North York General Hospital and The Ottawa Hospital)!
These trials will run for 1 year, to evaluate the feasibility of conducting multiple trials in surgical and perioperative care using the innovative IMPACTS Program framework.
Here are the 4 questions that will be examined:
1- Does the use of antibiotics prevent re-intervention and fistula formation in patients with perianal abscesses, following incision and drainage?
2- Can cryotherapy improve the quality of patients’ post-operative recovery and pain?
3- Does wound irrigation prevent surgical site infections?
4- Can coffee/caffeine improve post-operative gastrointestinal recovery?
