Measure
3M Skin and Nasal Antiseptic
Povidone-iodine solution 5% w/w (0.5% available iodine) USP Patient Preoperative Skin Preparation Povidone-iodine solution 5% w/w (0.5% available iodine) Patient Preoperative Skin Preparation: The solution is applied to for 30 seconds to each nostril twice for a total of 2 minutes. The solution is applied by rotating the applicator around the circumference of the nostril for 15 seconds and then rotating the applicator in the anterior nares for 15 seconds.
Bactroban Nasal
Mupirocin calcium ointment, 2% mupirocin calcium ointment, 2%: Approximately one-half of the ointment from the single-use tube should be applied into 1 nostril and the other half into the other nostril twice daily (morning and evening) for 5 days. After application, the nostrils should be closed by pressing together and releasing the sides of the nose repetitively for approximately 1 minute. This will spread the ointment throughout the nares.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Post-surgery

Population: Data was not collected for this assessment.

The hospital length of stay will be measured in the Mupirocin and Povidone-iodine groups.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Isolates collected and frozen immediately post-surgery.

Lab cultured isolates - they will measure rate of Staphylococcus aureus resistance to mupirocin. Both arms were sampled and tested post-op.
