Definition
• POIs or SSIsThe United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
“Infections occurring at or near the site of surgery within 30 days after operation or within 1 year if implant is in place”

Epidemiology
• Occurs in 1.5- 2 % of all Orthopedics procedures • Associated with 9% mortality
Astagneau P et al (2001). Mortality and Morbidity associated with SSIs: J Hosp infect 48:267-274
Pathophysiology • Most of the infections acquired peri-operatively• Source: Patients Theater staff • 40% is Staph A • MRSA is increasing • Poly microbial pathogens found in 1 third • 5% of them include MRSA

suboptimal neutrophil oxadative killing 2. Tissue mass : capillaries ratio is high 3. Larger wound surface / high dose of bacteria/
larger dead space

Risk factors related to patientSmoking
• Pulmonary and cardiovascular complications, as well as wound infections are significantly more prevalent in smokers than in non-smokers (1,2)

The impact of the duration of mechanical ventilation on the respiratory outcome in smokers undergoing cardiac surgery. Cardiovasc Surg 2002; 10(4);345-350.
Smoking
• Cigarette smoking interferes with primary wound healing, possibly secondary to constriction of peripheral blood vessels, leading to tissue hypovolemia and hypoxia.
• Hoogendoorn Jm et al . Adverse effects of smoking on healing of bones and soft tissues. Unfallchirurg. 2002;105:76–81. [PubMed]

Smoking
• RCT in 2003 demonstrated abstinence from smoking for as little as 4 weeks significantly reduces incisional wound infections.
Sorensen LT, Karlsmark T, Gottrup F. Abstinence from smoking reduces incisional wound infection: a randomized controlled trial. Ann Surg. 2003;238:1–5.
Alcohol
Risk factors related to patientMalnutrition
• Serum albumin < 3 is ae higher risk of SSIs • No enough evidence in the literiture
Risk factors related to patientImmunosuppressive drugs
• Unfortunately, no data are available from randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trials.
Risk factors related to surgery
• Almost all are modifiable • Preoperative patient preparations :• Showering
Risk factors related to surgery

Risk factors related to surgery
• Showering“in the evening and morning before surgery is better than single shower preoperatively”

• Nasal colonization :Reservoirs for staph aureus Mupirocin nasal ointment preoperatively ??It reduces the post operative infection in nasal
carriers .#
It can lead to resistance ##

Pre-operative Preparation of Surgical Team
surgical hand scrub • Options 1.Alcohol in concentration of 60-95% or alcohol
50-95% with chlorohexidine. 2.Povidone iodine .
Pre-operative Preparation of Surgical Team
surgical hand scrub • Options
1.Alcohol in concentration of 60-95% or alcohol 50-95% with chlorohexidine.
Both significantly lower the bacterial countCenters for disease control and prevention (2002) Guidelines for hand
hygiene in health care settings (report )
2. Povidone iodine .Significantly lower the bacterial count
Pre-operative Preparation of Surgical Team
surgical hand scrub • Which one is superior ?
The effect of chlorohexidine is more profound and longer lasting
Jarrah AO et al. interactive cardiovascular and thoracic Surg J 2011
Pre-operative Preparation of Surgical Team
surgical hand scrub • For how long ?
1. Scrubbing of 3-5 min should reduce bacterial count to acceptable level .
2. Longer duration of scrubbing is useless
Chen CF et al 2012 Effects of SSIs with waterless and handscrubing protocol on bacterial growth . Am j Infec Control
Pre-operative Preparation of Surgical Team
surgical attire • What ?
Surgical scrubs Masks Caps Gloves
Pre-operative Preparation of Surgical Team
surgical attire • why ?
Minimize the introduction of micro organisms from surgical team to patients
Pre-operative Preparation of Surgical Team
surgical attire • What ? Masks No scientific evidence that it prevent SSIs
Caps
Gloves Perforated gloves double the risk for SSIs
Pre-operative Preparation of Surgical Teamsurgical attire
If perforated and no prophylactic antibiotics used the risk increased to 4 times
Perforation is quite often 9% in Orthopaedics surgery
Majority of the perforation is not noticed during surgery
Double gloves is recommended
Misteli et al 2009 surgical glove perforation and risk for SSIs . Arch Surg AM J Surg
Intra-operative aspects
• Surgical duration
Prolonged duration of surgery ae increase risk of SSIs in arthroplasty
More contamination More bleeding Difficulties Wash out of the antibiotics Leong et al 2006 duration of operation as arisk factor for SSIs . J

Intra-operative aspects • Surgical technique Skin incisionTissue handling Wound closure DrainagePatients temp and tissue oxygenation
Intra-operative aspects • Surgical technique Skin incisionScalpel versus diathermy There is no evidence that use of diathermy
is ae increase risk of SSIsBut The National Institute for health and clinical
Excellence from UK does recommended avoidance of use of diathermy in making the skin incision( 2008) Report
Intra-operative aspects • Surgical technique Tissue damage and handling
Logic Difficult to quantify Irrigation remove debris but there is no
evidence that It decrease the risk of SSIs in clean surgery
Intra-operative aspects • Surgical technique Wound closure In 1000 patients the SSIs doesn’t differ among
suture material ( absorbable non absorbable mono or multi filament )
Gabrielli et al 2001 sutures and SSIs Plast Rec Surg
In contaminated wounds stapler is superior to sutures
Hochberg et al 2009 suture choice .Surg Clin North Am
Intra-operative aspects • Surgical technique Drainage :Haematoma may lead to infection
Tube connecting to outside may lead to infection
Intra-operative aspects • Surgical technique Drainage :Haematoma may lead to infection
Tube connecting to uotside may lead to infection
Intra-operative aspects • Surgical technique Drainage :Close Darin is not associate with SSIs in hip
fracture but this is also related to the duration

Intra-operative aspects • Surgical technique Drainage :Close Darin is not associate with SSIs in hip

Patients Temp, PO2 and Tissue Perf
Normo-thermia and supplemental oxygen are associated with lower SSIs compared to hypo/hyper-thermia and no oxygen

Operating Room
• Ventilation and laminar flow • Number of people and traffic
Operating Room
• Ventilation and laminar flow The mechanism 1.Use of laminar air flow in orthopaedics is under
discussed Anderson D et al 2012 controversies in control
measures to prevent SSIs . www. Update.com
1.Laminar air flow reduce the SSIs Frieberg et al 1999 ultraclean laminar air flow AORN J
Operating Room
• Ventilation and laminar flow
Laminar air flow does not reduce SSIs
Brand et al (2008 ) operating room laminar air flow shows no protective effect on SSIs rate in Orth and abdominal surgery. Ann Surg
Operating Room
• Ventilation and laminar flow • Number of people and traffic
Number of people and traffic
• Dispersion of micro-organisms can occur by movements or talk.
• Number of persons and their movements are associated with higher number of bacterial contamination
• Its important to keep the number of staff as law as possible and minimize the needless talk

Antibiotic Frequency of Administration
Cefazolin Every 2-5 hours

Prophylactic antibiotics should be discontinued within 24 hours of the end of surgery.
Medical literature provides no evidence of benefit when they are continued past 24 hours
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) recommendations
Conclusion
Although some areas are still controversial in prevention of SSIs, strong guidelines are available supporting some measures as tools for control and prevention of postoperative infections.
