Objective To discuss the relationship between antibiotic prophylaxis and surgical site infection (SSI) in colorectal cancer. Methods A survey of 880 patients with colorectal cancer from Jan. 1998 to Dec. 2008 were studied. Patients were divided into two groups by antibiotic duration: ≥24 h group (n=401) and lt;24 h group (n=479). To compare the differences of surgical site infection between two groups. Results For SSI patients, operation time obviously prolonged (P=0.04), or with more blood loss (P=0.03) and longer time use of antibiotics (P=0.04). In colon cancer patients with SSI operation time was significantly different from the cases of colon cancer without SSI （P=0.01）, while there was no difference between SSI and operation time, blood loss and duration of antibiotics （Pgt;0.05）. Conclusion Longer operation time, more blood loss and longer bleeding time are the risk factors of surgical site infection. Moreover prolonged antibiotic prophylaxis can not decrease the incidence of SSI.
ObjectiveTo explore the risk factors for and preventive measures of orthopedic perioperative surgical site infection. MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 2 752 cases of orthopedic surgery performed from January 2010 to December 2012. The risk factors for such infection were analyzed and certain preventive measures were put forward. ResultsA total of 97 patients were infected with a surgical site infection rate of 3.52%. The surgical site infection was closely related to ages, basic diseases, surgical site, types of incision, preoperative hospital stay, operative time, urgent elective surgery, the use of antibiotics, medical staff hand hygiene and other factors, of which the rate of infection after amputation was the highest, reaching 23.81% (20/84). ConclusionMaking full preparations before operation, strengthening medical staff's hand disinfection, prophylactic antibiotics, good precautions and regulations in operation, and nursing meticulously after operation can be taken to prevent and reduce surgical site infection in orthopedic operation patients effectively.
ObjectiveTo analyze the relevant factors for surgical site infection. MethodsA total of 677 cases of surgery in one hospital from July 1 to December 31 in 2012 were surveyed (not including implant and cardiac intervention surgeries), which were divided into different groups according to the preoperative incision contamination level, and the postoperative healing of incisions were observed closely. After the patients were discharged, we investigated the situation of incisions by phone or periodic review, and forms were filled in on schedule. ResultsBy follow-up evaluation of the 677 cases, the incisions in 12 cases were infected and the infection rate was 1.77%. Polluted and infected (14.28%, 30.76%) incisions caused more infection than the clean and clean-polluted incisions (0.00%, 0.59%). The patients who stayed in hospital for 4 or more than 4 days before surgeries (infection rate was 4.55%) took more risk of infection than the patients whose preoperative time in hospital were 2-3 days (infection rate was 0.60%) and 1 or shorter than 1 day (0.68%). Perioperative use of antibiotics for longer than 72 hours will increase the risk of incision infection than those within 48 hours (7.69%, 0.00%; P=0.002). ConclusionSurgical site infection is related to the incision type. Shortening the preoperative in-hospital time will reduce the risk of infection. Long time use of antibiotics in perioperative period cannot prevent the postoperative infection effectively, but may increase the risk of infection.
ObjectiveTo probe into the risk factors for postoperative surgical site infections in the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, and put forward correspondent preventive and treatment measures. MethodA total of 360 patients who underwent operations between February 2011 and March 2013 were the study subjects. The age, sex, basic diseases, surgical time, hospitalization time, surgical implants, and incision category were recorded carefully, and were analyzed for their correlation with surgical site infections. ResultsThere were 27 cases of surgical site infections with an infection rate of 7.50%. Age, hospitalization time, surgical time, basic diseases, surgical implants and incision category were risk factors for surgical site infections (P<0.05). ConclusionsBased on the analysis of risk factors for surgical site infections, we can help patients recover as early as possible by taking preventive measures beforehand.
ObjectiveTo study the effects of PDCA cycle in the control of surgical site infection (SSI). MethodsA total of 1 761 surgeries between January 2012 and December 2013 were chosen to be monitored. PDCA cycle was used as a tool of total quality management evaluation to enhance the control of SSI. ResultsAfter 2 to 4 cycles of PDCA, the preventive medication rate of ClassⅠ operation incision was decreased significantly (χ2=309.513，P<0.001) and the postoperative incision infection rate did not change significantly (χ2=1.474，P=0.669). ConclusionUsing PDCA cycle can increase SSI management level and quality significantly and total quality management can be operated effectively.
ObjectiveTo study the present situation of hospital orthopedic surgery incision infection, in order to provide the basis for further intervention. MethodsProspective investigation combined with retrospective investigation method was adopted in our study to perform a statistical analysis on orthopedic surgery incision infections among 545 patients in our hospital between January and December 2012. ResultsDuring the one year of follow-up, there were 10 cases of surgical incision infection among all the 545 patients, with an infection rate of 1.83%. The infection rate of class-Ⅰ incision was 0.46%, of class-Ⅱ was 5.13%, and of class-Ⅲ/Ⅳ was 12.12%, and the Cochrane-Armitage trend chi-square test showed significant trend among them (χ2=28.273, P<0.001). Based on different operation risk index, patients with index 1, 2, 3 had a surgical site infection rate of 0.82%, 2.60%, and 18.75%, respectively. The higher the index, the higher the surgery incision infection rate, and the trend was statistically significant (χ2=12.916, P<0.001). The infection rate was 1.43% for elective surgical procedures, and was 3.15% for emergency surgery, but there was no significant difference (P>0.05). ConclusionOrthopedic surgery has a high-risk surgical site infection rate, and incision classification and surgical risk index have statistical correlation with the incidence of hospital infection. In order to ensure the security of patients and reduce medical disputes, we should pay close attention to orthopedic surgery infection.
ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors for surgical site infection (SSI) in patients after colorectal surgery, in order to provide a basis for regulation and implementation of preventive measures against SSI. MethodsFrom February to December 2012, a targeted surveillance on surgical site infection of "colon resection" and "rectum resection" surgery patients in the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery was carried out. We analyzed the monitoring data, and explored the occurrence of postoperative SSI. At the same time, by case-control study, both single and multiple regression logistic analyses were performed on the 12 variables such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus duration during operation, America Society of Anesthesiologists score, grade of incision and so on to analyze the risk factors for SSI. ResultsAmong the 535 patients who underwent colorectal resections, 44 had SSI with an infection rate of 8.22%. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the length of hospital stay[OR=1.070,95%CI(1.033,1.109), P<0.001]and emergency surgery[OR=6.320,95%CI(1.932,20.669),P=0.002] were independent risk factors for SSI after colorectal resections. ConclusionThere are many risk factors for SSI after colorectal surgery. Through the implementation of targeted surveillance, we can find the main risk factors, which provides a basis for the regulation and implementation of intervention measures against SSI.
Objective To study the influence factors of surgical site infection (SSI) after hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery. Methods Fifty patients suffered from SSI after hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery who treated in Feng,nan District Hospital of Tangshan City from April 2010 and April 2015 were retrospectively collected as observation group, and 102 patients who didn’t suffered from SSI after hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery at the same time period were retrospectively collected as control group. Then logistic regression was performed to explore the influence factors of SSI. Results Results of univariate analysis showed that, the ratios of patients older than 60 years, combined with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, had abdominal surgery history, had smoking history, suffered from the increased level of preoperative blood glucose , suffered from preoperative infection, operative time was longer than 180 minutes, American Societyof Anesthesiologists (ASA) score were 3-5, indwelled drainage tube, without dressing changes within 48 hours after surgery, and new injury severity score (NISS) were 2-3 were higher in observation group (P＜0.05). Results of logistic regression analysis showed that, patients had history of abdominal surgery (OR=1.92), without dressing changes within 48 hours after surgery (OR=2.07), and NISS were 2-3 (OR=2.27) had higher incidence of SSI (P＜0.05). Conclusion We should pay more attention on the patient with abdominal surgery history and with NISS of 2-3, and give dressing changes within 48 hours after surgery, to reduce the incidence of SSI.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the effect of perioperative supplemental oxygen administration on surgical site infection (SSI) in patients underwent abdominal surgery with general anesthesia. MethodsDatabases including PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library (Issue 2,2015), CBM, VIP, WanFang Data and CNKI were searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about perioperative supplemental oxygen administration versus normal FiO2 in patients underwent abdominal surgery with general anesthesia from inception to March, 2015. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.3 software. ResultsA total of 13 RCTs involving 3 532 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis indicated that: the incidence of SSI in the perioperative supplemental oxygen administration group was lower than that in the control group (OR=0.68, 95%CI 0.47 to 0.99, P=0.04). There were no significiant differences between both groups in incidence of atelectasis, incidence of infection requiring reoperation and 30-day mortality after surgery (all P values >0.05). ConclusionPerioperative supplemental oxygen administration could further decrease the risk of SSI in patients underwent abdominal surgery with general anesthesia, and does not increase the risk of other adverse events. Due to the limitations of quality of included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusions.
Objective To systematically review the efficacy of chlorhexidine versus povidone iodine in the prevention of wound infections after surgeries by meta-analysis. Methods All randomized controlled trials comparing these two disinfectants were searched from databases of PubMed, The Cochrane Library (Issue 3, 2016), EMbase, WanFang Data, VIP and CNKI from inception to August 2016. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.2 software. Results A total of 14 randomized controlled trials were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the chlorhexidine group had significantly lower rates in any surgical site infection (RR=0.71, 95% CI 0.58 to 0.88,P=0.001) and superficial incisional infection (RR=0.66, 95% CI 0.48 to 0.91,P=0.01) when compared with povidone iodine group. However, there were no significant differences in deep incisional infection (RR=0.51, 95% CI 0.23 to 1.11,P=0.09) and organ-space infection (RR=0.97, 95% CI 0.53 to 1.76,P=0.92) between the two groups. Furthermore, subgroup analysis revealed differences in any surgical site infection and superficial incisional infection could only be found in surgeries possibly contaminated. Conclusion Chlorhexidine may be superior in decreasing the incidence of infection in probably contaminated surgery.
