Article Synopsis
- Surgical site infections (SSI) are a common issue after surgery, and a new Enhanced PeriOperative Care and Health (EPOCH) bundle has been developed to improve current practices and reduce these infections in the Netherlands.
- EPOCH includes evidence-based interventions like high oxygen levels during surgery, controlled fluid therapy, and glucose management for patients undergoing elective abdominal surgery with large incisions.
- The study will compare the effectiveness of EPOCH combined with standard care versus standard care alone, evaluating the incidence of SSI and other key outcomes over a 30-day follow-up period.
