Surgical site infections (SSIs) not only increase morbidity and healthcare costs, they also impose emotional and physical burdens on patients and families. The SSI risk for patients undergoing a surgical procedure is specific to the type of surgery, degree of contamination of the operative field, and underlying patient risk factors (both modifiable and

ABSTRACT The incidence of surgical site infections (SSI) depends upon the patient risk-factors, surgical procedure, and practices observed by the operating team. This review aims at examining existing guidelines upon prevention of SSI. Various recommendations pertaining to pre-operative, operative and postoperative phase were evaluated ...

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 (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 SSI. In particular, improved adherence to evidence-based preventative measures related to appropriate antimicrobial prophylaxis can decrease ...

Colorectal bundles for surgical site infection prevention: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Infection control and hospital epidemiology, 2020Objective: In colorectal surgery, the composition of the most effective bundle for prevention of surgical site infections (SSI) remains uncertain. We performed a meta-analysis to identify bundle interventions most associated with SSI reduction.

Abstract Surgical site infections remain a prominent cause of hospital-acquired infection and are responsible for increased morbidity and mortality and considerable cost. Recommendations for strategies to reduce the rate of surgical site infections have been made by many over the years. In 2016, the World Health Organization published a robust set of

Preventing surgical site infections
Expert Review of Anti-infective Therapy, 2010The risk of surgical site infection (SSI) is approximately 1-3% for elective clean surgery. Apart from patient endogenous factors, the role of external risk factors in the pathogenesis of SSI is well recognized. However, among the many measures to prevent SSI, only some are based on strong evidence, for example, adequate perioperative administration of
