The primary aim of the PERSuaDER-trial is to evaluate the effect of SDD on infectious complications after esophagectomy, focussed on the prevention of pneumonia
Esophageal Cancer
SDD
Phase 3
Esophagectomy is a complex surgical procedure, associated with significant morbidity and mortality rates. Most postoperative complications are caused by infections (10-30%). These are thought to arise from (micro-)aspiration of bacteria residing in the oropharyngeal and gastrointestinal (GI) tract, leading to (respiratory) infections. Selective decontamination of the digestive tract (SDD) is a prophylactic antibiotic strategy that aims to prevent postoperative infections. Pathogenic aerobic gram-negative rods and yeasts tract are reduced, while anaerobic, protective microbiota are preserved. SDD has been shown to lower the risk for respiratory infections in an intensive care setting. Establishing SDD as effective addition to the standard care of esophagectomy patients is expected to increase their chance of survival.}}
