  • Title: Povidone-iodine wound irrigation and wound sepsis.
    Author: Rogers DM, Blouin GS, O'Leary JP.
    Journal: Surg Gynecol Obstet; 1983 Nov; 157(5):426-30. PubMed ID: 6635913.
    Abstract:
    In this prospective, randomized study of 187 patients undergoing a variety of general surgical procedures, no significant difference could be demonstrated between those patients whose wounds were irrigated with normal saline solution and those whose wounds were irrigated with povidone-iodine. The potential of an alpha or a beta error is discussed.
