SURGERY AND INFECTION

SURGICAL SITE INFECTION (SSI)

In Surgery, it is important to differentiate between the quality

• f care and patient safety.

SURGICAL SITE INFECTION

• Burden
• 14.2 million inpatient operative procedure in 2014.
• Between 1-3% develop SSI
• Outcome
• $3.3 billion annual cost.
• SSI cost an additional $18700.
• Nearly 1 million additional inpatient-days.
• LOS is 5.1 days longer.
• Majority of deaths in surgery attributed to SSI.

RISK FACTORS

Patient Microbiome procedure

RISK FACTORS

• Patient related
• Diabetic status.
• Chronic illnesses.
• Smoking status.
• Body Mass Index
• Nutrition status.
• Age and wellbeing

Do you think socio-economic class play role in SSI?

RISK FACTORS(CONTINUE)

• Procedural related
• Nature of the procedure.
• Duration of the procedure.
• Surgical technique.
• Other surgical parameters.

RISK FACTORS(CONTINUE)

• Microbiome related:
• Colonization vs. infection.
• Virulence factors.
• Adherence ability.
• Inoculum

Does it make any difference if SSI is due to gram positive or negative ?

IMPROVEMENT BUNDLES

Pre-surgical Peri-operative. Post-surgical

IMPROVEMENT BUNDLES (CONTINUE)

• Pre-surgical
• Pre-surgical screening.
• Education and class attendance.
• CHG bathing.
• Optimal control of pre-existing condition
• Decolonization protocol.
• Rehydration and Nutrition.

Is it matter doing face-to-face screening vs. phone screening?

IMPROVEMENT BUNDLES (CONTINUE)

• Peri-operative
• Pre-procedure.
• Documentation (to check order sets).
• Addressing concerns.
• Emptying the bladder.
• Procedural.
• Skin prep.
• Time out.
• Traffic control, OR etiquette, surgical attire
• Antibiotics.
• Temperature.
• Blood transfusion.
• Case summery
• Post-procedure.
• FIO2
• Blood sugar
• Temperature
• Foley removal if possible

IMPROVEMENT BUNDLES (CONTINUE)

• Post surgical
• Early mobilization.
• Discharge instruction.
• Addressing concerns.
• Provide resources.
• Pharmacological training

Is it important to know your patients' destination and what type of care they will get at there?

MEASURING METRIC FOR SSI

National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN)

• CDC program that reports aggregated surveillance data

from U.S. hospitals

• Standardized Infection Ration (SIR)
• 𝑇𝐽𝑆 =

𝑃𝑐𝑡𝑓𝑠𝑤𝑓𝑒 𝐹𝑦𝑞𝑓𝑑𝑢𝑓𝑒

• Why should we expect any infection?

CULTURAL ACCEPTANCE

CULTURE TRUMPS EVERYTHING

REFRIGERATOR MAGNET

• Do the right thing at the

right time in the right place by the right person consistent with the bundles that have been established.
