 Significant relationship between increasing
levels of HgA1c and SSI rates
 Increased glucose levels (>200 mg/dL) in the
immediate postoperative period (<48 hours)
were associated with increased SSI risk
 Delay elective procedures until after sugar
levels have been controlled
Presented during the 21st PHICS Convention, 28-29 May 2015
 Cigarette smoking was an independent risk
factor for SSI
 Nicotine use delays primary wound healing
 Cessation of smoking is recommended
Presented during the 21st PHICS Convention, 28-29 May 2015
 Patients who are receiving steroids or other
immunosuppressive drugs may be
predisposed to developing SSI but the data
supporting this relationship are

ASSOCIATEDWITH NUMEROUS
POTENTIALCOMPLICATIONS LIKE FASCIAL
DEHISENCE,ANASTOMOTIC LEAKS, ETC.
Presented during the 21st PHICS Convention, 28-29 May 2015
 Theoretically, severe malnutrition is
associated with postoperative nosocomial
infections, impaired wound healing dynamics
or death.
 Preoperative and/or postoperative
“nutritional therapy” has not been
demonstrated to reduce incisional SSI risk.
Presented during the 21st PHICS Convention, 28-29 May 2015
 Blood transfusion apparently doubles the risk
for SSI.
However, several confounding variables may
have influenced the reported association.
 There is currently no scientific basis for
withholding necessary blood products from
surgical patients as a means of SSI risk
reduction.
Presented during the 21st PHICS Convention, 28-29 May 2015
Presented during the 21st PHICS Convention, 28-29 May 2015
 Preoperative antiseptic shower or bath
decreases skin microbial colony counts.
 Chlorhexidine reduced bacterial colony
counts ninefold.
 They have not definitively been shown to
reduce SSI rates
Presented during the 21st PHICS Convention, 28-29 May 2015
 Preoperative hair removal by any means was
associated with increased SSI rates.
 No hair should be removed unless necessary.
Presented during the 21st PHICS Convention, 28-29 May 2015
 Increased SSI risk associated with shaving has
been attributed to microscopic cuts in the
skin that later serve as foci for bacterial
multiplication.
 Clipping hair has been associated with a
lower SSI risk than shaving
Presented during the 21st PHICS Convention, 28-29 May 2015
 Most commonly used agents:
 Iodophors (e.g., povidone-iodine)
 Acohol-containing products
 Biguanides (chlorhexidine gluconate)
Presented during the 21st PHICS Convention, 28-29 May 2015
 Alcohol is readily available, inexpensive, and
remains the most effective and rapid-acting
skin antiseptic.
 Aqueous 70% to 92% alcohol solutions have
germicidal activity against bacteria, fungi,
and viruses, but spores can be resistant.
 One potential disadvantage is its
flammability.

 Traditionally, aqueous antimicrobial soaps
require a surgical scrub with the use of brushes.
 Recently, almost all studies discourage the use
of brushes. It can cause skin abrasions and
changes in microbial flora that can lead to an
increased risk of infection.
 Use brushes when the hands are visibly soiled.

 Inadequate sterilization of surgical

 Surgical instruments can be sterilized by
steam under pressure, dry heat, ethylene
oxide, or other approved methods
Presented during the 21st PHICS Convention, 28-29 May 2015
 Surgical attire refers to scrub suits,
caps/hoods, shoe covers, masks, gloves, and
gowns.
 These barriers minimize a patient’s exposure
to the skin, mucous membranes, or hair of

surgical team members from exposure to
blood and bloodborne pathogens from the

 Better intraoperative and postoperative
temperature control of the patient may
reduce the risk of SSI.
 Patients maintained at higher core
temperature (> 36.5oC) had an SSI rate lower
than those maintained at lower core
temperature.
Presented during the 21st PHICS Convention, 28-29 May 2015
 Experimental evidence has favored the
concept that increased oxygen delivery has a
favorable influence in the prevention of
infection.
 It is presumed that increased oxygen
availability is a positive host factor, perhaps
via enhanced production of oxidant products
that facilitate phagocytic eradication of
microbes.

Presented during the 21st PHICS Convention, 28-29 May 2015
 Class I and II wounds may be closed primarily.
 Class III and IV wounds are associated with
higher rates of incisional SSIs and these can be
managed by delayed primary closure or healing
by secondary intention.
 SSI risk stratification may lead to identification
of specific subgroups of patients who will benefit
from specific wound management techniques.
Presented during the 21st PHICS Convention, 28-29 May 2015
