Introduction
Surgery, trauma, non-trauma local invasion can lead to bacterial insult.
Once present, bacteria, initiate the host defense processes.
Inflammatory mediators (kinins, histamine, etc.) are released, compliment and plasma proteins are released, PMN’s arrive, etc.

Introduction
Surgical infections may arise in the surgical wound itself or in other systems in the patient.
They can be initiated not only by “damage” to the host but also by changes in the host’s physiologic state.
![Page 4: Surgical Infections€¦ · Surgical infections may arise in the surgical wound itself or in other systems in the patient. They can be initiated not only by “damage” to the host](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050415/5f8bc2c5bd42b4125535777c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Risk
Many established factors have a role in infection.
These can be either surgical factors or patient-specific factors.
Patient-specific factors can be further defined as either local or systemic.

Sepsis Defined
Sepsis: Commonly called a "blood stream infection." The presence of bacteria (bacteremia) or other infectious organisms or their toxins in the blood (septicemia) or in other tissue of the body. Sepsis may be associated with clinical symptoms of systemic (bodywide) illness, such as fever, chills, malaise (generally feeling "rotten"), low blood pressure, and mental status changes. Sepsis can be a serious situation, a life threatening disease calling for urgent and comprehensive care.
