Abstract:

Surgical site infections (SSI) are a prevalent health care-associated infection (HAl). Prior to the mid-19th century, surgical sites commonly developed postoperative wound complications. It was in the 1860's, after Joseph Lister introduced carbolic acid and the principles of antisepsis that postoperative wound infection significantly decreased. Today, patient preoperative skin preparation with an antiseptic agent prior to surgery is a standard of practice. Povidone-iodine and chlorhexidine gluconate are currently the most commonly used antimicrobial agents used to prep the patient's skin. In t

Abstract:

This thesis provides an overview of the design, conduct and analysis of a multicentre phase III trial exploring the clinical effectiveness of a novel in-theatre intervention to try to reduce rates of post-operative surgical site infection (SSI). The pitfalls inherent in the conduct of research into SSI are discussed, along with measures to try and overcome these. The wound-edge protection device (WEPD) intervention is defined and the published evidence assessing its clinical effectiveness systematically appraised. Clinical surgical research and its difficulties are described, and the paradigm-

Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Background Caesarean section deliveries are the most common procedures performed by obstetricians in Zimbabwe. Surgical site infections (SSI) following caesarean section delivery result in increased hospital stay, treatment, cost, hospital readmission rates and related maternal morbidity and mortality. There is no national surveillance system for SSIs in Zimbabwe, however, information is available on number of cases of post-operative wound infection after caesarean section, but the denominator and definition used is not consis

Cigarette smoking has been a public health concern for many years, and the possible impact of smoking on surgical site infection (SSI) has been studied broadly. However, a gap in understanding has persisted concerning whether there is an association between smoking tobacco and the development of SSI among patients who undergo lower extremity surgery, specifically total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to examine the association between smoking and lower extremity SSI.

In response to improving quality patient care, combined with the growing rates of surgical site infections (SSIs) in vascular patients, the need to explore current practice trends with current evidence has been identified. SSIs affect quality patient care and compromise patient safety. Empirical evidence has recommended the use of a chlorhexidine wash preoperatively to reduce SSIs. Despite this recommended practice, vascular patients were not receiving it in their routine plan of care within a hospital organization in southern Ontario.

Faculdade de Medicina: Universidade de São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto. 2009. Infecção do sítio cirúrgico (ISC) é a infecção hospitalar (IH) de maior prevalência em pacientes cirúrgicos, determinando aumento do tempo de hospitalização, dos custos e da morbidade e letalidade. É importante conhecer os principais fatores de risco desta infecção para estabelecer medidas de prevenção através dos fatores que podem ser modificá

O Estágio final, integrado no Curso de Mestrado em Enfermagem- Especialização em Enfermagem Médico-Cirúrgica: Pessoa em situação crítica permite o desenvolvimento de competências técnico-científicas, humanas e relacionais, descritas neste relatório. As infeções associadas aos cuidados de saúde representam, em todo o mundo, o evento adverso mais comum que coloca em causa a segurança do doente. A infeção do local cirúrgico afeta 1/3 dos doentes que foram submetidos a um procedimento cirúrgico. A sua prevenção é um processo complexo, que envolve uma série de medidas que devem integrar o período p

Abstract:

A infecção de sítio cirúrgico (ISC) é uma complicação frequente que pode acometer o paciente submetido ao procedimento anestésico cirúrgico. A importância dessa problemática está no aumento da morbidade, mortalidade e dos custos hospitalares, e ainda, em relação ao paciente, pelo sofrimento emocional e físico, bem como o prolongamento do período de afastamento de suas atividades profissionais e do convívio social. A presente investigação teve como objetivo geral analisar a incidência de infecção de sítio cirúrgico em pacientes submetidos à neurocirurgia eletiva e limpa em hospital

Abstract:

A infecção do sítio cirúrgico (ISC) é o processo infeccioso que ocorre no local onde se deu o procedimento cirúrgico, podendo manifestar-se após 48 horas da admissão hospitalar ou até 30 dias depois do procedimento e, em caso do uso de próteses, em até um ano. A ocorrência de ISC é responsável por grande parte das infecções que ocorrem nos hospitais tanto em medicina quanto em veterinária, elevando o tempo de hospitalização, os custos do tratamento e os transtornos aos pacientes por ela acometidos. Estas infecções geralmente estão associadas a fatores que predispõe a sua ocorrência, os chamado

Syfte: Att undersöka hur patienter på ett universitetssjukhus uppfattar information gällande preoperativ dusch samt patientens genomförande av duschen på avdelningen. Introduktion: Vårdrelaterade infektioner är vanliga och kan leda till ökade kostnader, långvarig sjukhusvistelse och ökad lidande för patienter. Ett sätt att förhindra detta är att duscha med klorhexidin före operation. Det är sjuksköterskans ansvar att informera patienten om den preoperativa duschen, kontrollera att patienten uppfattat informationen och har möjlighet och resurser att följa den.

A infecção de sítio cirúrgico (ISC) é uma complicação que pode acometer o paciente, acarretando incremento da mortalidade e morbidade, bem como aumento dos custos em saúde. A videocirurgia surgiu como opção menos invasiva de acesso à cavidade abdominal, reduzindo as taxas de ISC, mas nem mesmo a modernização gerada pela cirurgia minimamente invasiva conseguiu extinguir esse tipo de infecção. O presente estudo teve como objetivo geral analisar a ocorrência e os fatores de risco de infecção de sítio cirúrgico, em pacientes submetidos à colecistectomia videolaparoscópica.
