cefuroxime and Obesity

cefuroxime has been researched along with Obesity in 2 studies

Cefuroxime: Broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic resistant to beta-lactamase. It has been proposed for infections with gram-negative and gram-positive organisms, GONORRHEA, and HAEMOPHILUS.
cefuroxime : A 3-(carbamoyloxymethyl)cephalosporin compound having a 7-(2Z)-2-(furan-2-yl)-2-(methoxyimino)acetamido side chain.

Obesity: A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).

Trial Outcomes

Number of Participants With Sternal Wound Infection or Sternal Instability/Non-union

The Data and Safety Monitoring Board reviewed source documents for all cases with possible sternal wound infection and sternal instability or non-union and made a determination as to the presence of these complications. (NCT00638014)
Timeframe: Up to 180 days

InterventionParticipants (Number)
Conventional Wires Only1
Talon1

Percentage Change of Preoperative Incentive Spirometry (IS) Volume Achieved

Maximum incentive spirometry volume was measured at baseline (prior to surgery) and daily from postoperative day 1 through postoperative day 7 (or discharge if earlier) using a Coach 2 incentive spirometer with one way valve (Coach 2 model # 22-4000, Smiths Medical, Keene, NH). (NCT00638014)
Timeframe: Baseline, Maximum value during postoperatively days 1 thru 7
