This document provides an introduction and history of surgical site infections (SSIs). It discusses how concepts of infection and prevention date back to ancient Egyptians and Hippocrates using wine/vinegar to irrigate wounds. Later studies showed hand washing between cases decreased infection rates. SSIs are common, preventable infections that can prolong hospital stays and increase costs. They are associated with considerable morbidity as over 1/3 of postoperative deaths are due to SSIs. The document outlines criteria for defining SSIs and discusses wound healing processes and microorganisms involved in SSIs. Prophylactic antibiotics should cover the decisive initial period of acute inflammation response after a breach in the epithelial surface.

Surgical site infections - Diagnosis, treatment and Prevention guidelines
Surgical site infections (SSIs) are among the most common and preventable hospital-acquired infections. SSIs prolong hospital stays, increase costs, and can lead to poor wound healing, pain, and even death in some cases. SSIs are defined based on the depth of infection - superficial, deep, or organ space. Risk factors include patient factors like age, diabetes, and obesity as well as operative factors like wound classification, antibiotic prophylaxis, and maintenance of sterility during surgery. Prevention focuses on preoperative patient preparation, proper intraoperative techniques, and postoperative wound management.

Surgical site infection (ssi)
Surgical site infections (SSIs) are infections that occur after an invasive surgical procedure. A study conducted in Bangladesh found that 20.16% of 496 surgical patients developed wound infections. SSIs can be caused by exogenous sources like contaminated air or instruments, or endogenous sources such as the patient's own skin flora. Risk factors include patient characteristics like age, diabetes, and local factors like wound contamination. SSIs are classified as superficial incisional, deep incisional, or organ/space infections. Prevention strategies include proper patient preparation, sterile technique in the operating room, timely administration of prophylactic antibiotics, and postoperative wound management. SSIs significantly increase hospital costs and negatively impact patient outcomes.
Surgical site infection
This document defines and classifies surgical site infections that can occur after a surgical procedure.

1. Surgical infections can occur through invasion of microorganisms following breakdown of host defenses. Common types include surgical site infections, cellulitis, and abscesses which are usually caused by bacteria on the skin and treated with antibiotics and drainage.
2. Specific infections like gas gangrene, tetanus, and necrotizing fasciitis occur when certain bacteria invade wounds. Gas gangrene caused by Clostridium perfringens produces tissue gangrene and gas, while tetanus toxin causes painful muscle spasms. Necrotizing fasciitis is a severe soft tissue infection treated aggressively with debridement and antibiotics.
3. Preventing and properly treating wounds can reduce risk of
Discuss the prevention of post operative infection
Post-operative infections remain a major problem and increase costs and morbidity. Prevention methods aim to remove infection sources and increase patient resistance. Key prevention strategies include proper skin/wound preparation, tight glucose control, appropriate antibiotic prophylaxis timing and selection, normothermia, clean air systems in operating rooms, impermeable drapes, wound drainage, isolation of infectious patients, and surveillance to monitor infection rates.
Surgical site infections: Latest Approach on management.
Surgical site infections (SSIs) are among the most common and preventable hospital-acquired infections. SSIs can prolong hospital stays by a week on average, increase costs, and in some cases lead to poor patient outcomes or even death. Proper prevention techniques include preoperative showering or cleansing with antiseptics, careful handling of surgical attire and equipment, strict hand hygiene protocols for surgical staff, judicious use of antibiotic prophylaxis timed appropriately before incision, and maintaining sterile technique in the operating room. A multidisciplinary approach is important to reduce risks and prevent SSIs.
Surgical Wound Classification
Dr. Dene W. Daugherty aims to decrease postoperative complications by accurately identifying risk factors for infection through wound classification. Wound classification predicts infection risk based on bacterial load at surgery, assisting surgeons in postoperative care. It categorizes wounds as clean (class I), clean-contaminated (class II), contaminated (class III), or dirty (class IV) based on degree of contamination, with infection risks of 2%, 5-15%, >15%, and >30% respectively. The classification should be documented after surgery to account for any events influencing wound status.

This document discusses wound healing and chronic wound management. It begins by defining a wound and describing the initial insults that can cause wounds, such as trauma, surgery, and pressure. It then outlines the normal phases of acute wound healing: inflammatory, proliferative, and maturation phases. Chronic wounds are defined as those that fail to progress through the normal healing stages within 30 days. Factors that can cause wounds to become chronic include infection, ischemia, edema, pressure, and underlying diseases. The document emphasizes the importance of assessing and treating wounds by addressing barriers to healing like necrosis, infection, and moisture imbalance. The key steps in wound bed preparation - tissue management, infection control, moisture balance, and epithelial edge advancement - are summarized.

Infection Control & Prevention.pptx
Infection control and prevention is the practice of implementing measures to prevent or reduce the transmission of infectious diseases in healthcare settings and the general community. It involves a wide range of strategies, including hand hygiene, personal protective equipment (PPE), environmental cleaning, and the appropriate use of antibiotics.
Infection control and prevention is crucial to ensuring the safety of patients, healthcare workers, and the general public. It helps to minimize the risk of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and the spread of infectious diseases in the community.
Effective infection control and prevention requires a multi-faceted approach, involving education, training, and adherence to guidelines and best practices. This includes proper hand hygiene techniques, appropriate use of PPE, and the implementation of environmental cleaning and disinfection protocols.
In addition, infection control and prevention also involves the appropriate use of antibiotics to minimize the development of antibiotic resistance. This includes the judicious use of antibiotics, as well as the development of alternative treatment options.
Overall, infection control and prevention is an essential component of public health, and plays a critical role in reducing the spread of infectious diseases and protecting the health and well-being of individuals and communities.
Acute and sub-acute Osteomyelitis
This document discusses and classifies acute and subacute osteomyelitis. It begins by defining osteomyelitis as a bone or bone marrow infection. It then classifies osteomyelitis based on timing of onset (acute <2 weeks, subacute 2-6 weeks, chronic >6 weeks) and method of spread (exogenous or hematogenous). Key points include: acute osteomyelitis most commonly spreads hematogenously while staphylococcus aureus is the most common cause; subacute osteomyelitis has an indolent course and is often an incidental finding on imaging. Treatment involves antibiotics, surgery if abscess or lack of response, and immobilization.
inflammaton.pptx
This document discusses inflammation. It defines inflammation as the body's local response to injury or infection aimed at eliminating the cause of injury and initiating repair. The cardinal signs of inflammation are redness, swelling, heat, pain, and loss of function. The early response involves vasodilation and increased permeability, causing swelling. The late response involves neutrophils in acute inflammation and macrophages in chronic cases, which work to destroy pathogens and initiate healing. Understanding inflammation is important for diagnosing conditions like appendicitis and treating diseases.
VI.1. Procedures Basic to Nursing Care, Aespsis and Infection control.pptx
This document discusses procedures basic to nursing care related to asepsis and infection control. It covers topics like the definitions of asepsis, sepsis, nosocomial infections, emerging infectious diseases, types of microorganisms that cause infections, stages of infection, and the human body's lines of defense against infectious diseases. It also addresses nursing management of infection which involves assessment, diagnosis, planning, interventions and implementation of care focused on maintaining defenses, avoiding spread of organisms, and reducing problems associated with infection.
Inflammation in skin
1. Inflammation is the body's protective response to injury or infection that involves blood vessels, immune cells, and chemical mediators.
2. Chemical mediators of inflammation include vasoactive amines, peptides, lipid mediators, cytokines, and enzymes that are released from immune cells and damaged tissues. These mediators cause changes like increased blood flow and vascular permeability.
3. The inflammatory response aims to destroy and isolate the injurious agent while facilitating tissue repair. Prolonged inflammation can lead to chronic disease if the trigger persists.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. Pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes
This presentation gives information on the pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes i.e. Eicosanoids. Eicosanoids are signaling molecules derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids like arachidonic acid. They are involved in complex control over inflammation, immunity, and the central nervous system. Eicosanoids are synthesized through the enzymatic oxidation of fatty acids by cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes. They have short half-lives and act locally through autocrine and paracrine signaling.

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

Gene Expression System-viral gene delivery Mpharm(Pharamaceutics)
Gene therapy can be broadly defined as the transfer of genetic material to cure a disease or at least to improve the clinical status of a patient.
One of the basic concepts of gene therapy is to transform viruses into genetic shuttles, which will deliver the gene of interest into the target cells.
Safe methods have been devised to do this, using several viral and non-viral vectors.
In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient's cells instead of using drugs or surgery.
The biggest hurdle faced by medical research in gene therapy is the availability of effective gene-carrying vectors that meet all of the following criteria:
Protection of transgene or genetic cargo from degradative action of systemic and endonucleases,
Delivery of genetic material to the target site, i.e., either cell cytoplasm or nucleus,
Low potential of triggering unwanted immune responses or genotoxicity,
Economical and feasible availability for patients .
Viruses are naturally evolved vehicles that efficiently transfer their genes into host cells.
Choice of viral vector is dependent on gene transfer efficiency, capacity to carry foreign genes, toxicity, stability, immune responses towards viral antigens and potential viral recombination.
There are a wide variety of vectors used to deliver DNA or oligo nucleotides into mammalian cells, either in vitro or in vivo.
The most common vector system based on retroviruses, adenoviruses, herpes simplex viruses, adeno associated viruses.
biomechanics of running. Dr.dhwani.pptx
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.

introduction of surgical site infections
- 1. Introduction to Surgical Site Infections Dr.Sujith Mathew Jose PG in General Surgery Coimbatore Medical College Coimbatore
- 2. History First concept of infection and methods to prevent it can be traced back to Egyptians by there mummification skills HIPPOCRATES, The Father of Medicine used Wine and vinegar to irrigate open infected wound
- 3. Galen recognised locatisation of infection (=suppuration ) in gladiatorial wound Ambroise Pare observed clean wounds closed primarily heal without infection
- 4. Austrian obstetrician Ignac Semmelweis showed that SIMPLE ACT OF HAND WASHING between cases decreased puerperal sepsis Sir Joseph Lister, applied Louis Pasteur’s idea of microbiology to promote the idea of antiseptic surgery
- 5. Koch’s Postulates An infective Organism • Must be found in considerable number in septic focus • Must be cultured in pure form from septic focus • Must be able to produce similar lesions when injected into another host
- 6. Wound infection depends on • Host Response • Virulence of the agent • Vascularity and health of tissue involved • Presence of dead or foreign tissue • Use of antibiotics
- 7. Intact epithelial surface prevents the entry of microorganisms SKIN IS THE BEST BARRIER TO ENTRY OF PATHOGEN These are broken down in Trauma Surgery Other protective mechanisms are Chemical- low gastric pH Humoral - antibodies, compliments Cellular - phagocytes and macrophages
- 8. What is SSI? Infections that occur in the wound created by an invasive surgical procedure are generally referred to as surgical site infections
- 9. Criteria for defining SSIs
- 10. SSI is MOST COMMON hospital acquired infection in surgical patients. 3rd most common hospital acquired infection. Preventable Prolong the hospital stay (7.3 days) Expenditure Over one-third of postoperative deaths Poor scar, persistent pain and itching, restriction of movement and a significant impact on emotional wellbeing
- 11. • SSIs are associated with considerable morbidity and it has been reported that over one-third of postoperative deaths are related to SSI
- 13. During perioperative period, When the enteral feeding is suspended Bacterial (mainly gram negative bacteria) colonise normal sterile upper GIT Then they translocate to mesentric lymphnodes and release endotoxins
- 14. These endotoxins are lipopolysaccharides in bacterial cell wall They activate macrophages to release proinflammatory cytokines Cytokines finally leads to MODS and SIRS
- 15. The wound healing process • The ‘normal’ wound healing process has been identified as involving three overlapping major phases: – Inflammation, early (first 24 hours) and late phases (normally up to 72 hours) – Regeneration – Maturation.
- 16. • The key cells that are involved in this process have been identified as: – inflammation – platelets, neutrophils, lymphocytes and macrophages – regeneration and maturation – macrophages and fibroblasts, the latter of which are linked with the deposition and regulation of collagen as well as wound contraction (myofibroblasts).
- 17. Microbiology of SSI • Nature of the Procedure • Location of the incision • Whether hollow viscus entered GRAM POSITIVES Staph Epidermidis Staph Aureus Enterococcus Species GRAM NEGATIVES E Coli Klebsella PHARYNX LOWER GIT FEMALE GENITAL TRACT ANAEROBES
- 18. After a breach in the epithelial surface, Acute inflammatory response take up to 4 HOURS to get mobilised DECISIVE PERIOD Prophylactic antibiotics should cover this period
- 19. thankyou
