Management of Surgical Site Infections
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2020The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons has developed Appropriate Use Criteria for the Management of Surgical Site Infections (SSIs) (website: http://www.orthoguidelines.org/go/auc/default.cfm?auc_id=225018&actionxm=Terms). Evidence-based information, in conjunction with the clinical expertise of physicians, was used to develop the criteria to

Acta Clinica Belgica, 1998
The New CDC-definitions for surveillance of surgical site infections (1992) take into account 3 classes of surgical site infections (SSI): superficial and deep incisional SSI, and organ/space SSI. The most important host-related risk factors for development of SSI are advanced age, morbid obesity, disease severity, an ASA score > 2, prolonged ...

Surgical site infections and their prevention
Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2012Recent studies have assessed interventions and bundles of interventions to prevent surgical site infections (SSIs). We reviewed numerous studies to identify those with the strongest evidence supporting interventions for preventing SSIs.Bundles that included more than one intervention to decrease the risk of Staphylococcus aureus wound contamination ...

Surgical Site Infections in Gynecology
Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 2014Surgical site infections (SSIs) are preventable, yet nearly 2% of all surgical cases are complicated by an SSI. Each SSI increases the cost of a postoperative hospital stay by more than $10,000. Thus, SSI prevention has become the focus of health care systems and hospitals because it is a reducible health care cost.The objective of this review was to ...

Surgical site infections in the NICU
Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2016Surgical site infections (SSI) increase morbidity and mortality. In adult and pediatric populations, the incidence ranges from 1.5-12%. Studies in neonates have shown an association between preoperative stay in an intensive care unit and development of SSI. To date, there has only been a single study looking exclusively at SSI in the Neonatal Intensive

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2011
Surgical site infections (SSIs) lead to adverse patient outcomes, including prolonged hospitalization and death. Wound contamination occurs with each incision, but proven strategies exist to decrease the risk of SSIs. In particular, improved adherence to evidence-based preventative measures related to appropriate antimicrobial prophylaxis can decrease ...

Staphylococcal Surgical Site Infections
Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2009Staphylococcus aureus is the leading cause of surgical site infections (SSI) in the United States. In particular, SSI caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has emerged as a devastating complication, leading to increased mortality rates, increased length of hospitalization, and increased costs.

Prevention of Surgical Site Infection
Surgical Clinics of North America, 2009Surgical site infections are a frequent cause of morbidity following surgical procedures. Gram-positive cocci, particularly staphylococci, cause many of these infections, although gram-negative organisms are also frequently involved. The risk of developing a surgical site infection is associated with a number of factors, including aspects of the ...
