Brief Summary: There is a controversy regarding the roles of the Normal saline and Tap water in irrigation of the wound It has been suggested that antiseptic solution including normal saline has cytotoxic effect while tap water damages the fibroblast There are no high level evidence to support one type of solution over other systematic review have found no difference in wound infection between irrigation with normal saline vs tap water There are ten randomized controlled trial comparing tap water with normal saline for irrigating wound published between 1992 to 2016 These RCT are analyzed in three systemic review and meta-analysis published on 2016 2019 2022 which showed that tap water and normal saline has no difference in terms of infection rate The infection rate observed in various studies ranges from 0-115 in normal saline group and 0-126 in tap water group with no statistically significant difference

The published study has looked into tap water which may not be equivalent to drinking water in our setup therefore the investigators are looking into drinking water that is bacteriologically safe Out of published RCTs there is only one done in acute traumatic wound with good sample size and study design This study is purposed to look into acute traumatic wound with proper randomization allocation and concealment Moreover this is a non-inferiority trial therefore if it is proven that drinking water is non-inferior to normal saline then it will be easily available modality of wound irrigation in Low-Middle-Income country like Nepal
