Historical background
• Until the ends of the 19th cent., infection was the greatest risk associated with any surgical procedure.
• Increasing knowledge regarding relationship between bacteria and infection, led to series of discoveries and the development of techniques that ultimately paved the way for modern surgery.
Historical background...........
• Pasteur studied the relationship between bacteria and putrefaction.
• Lister recognized the role of bacterial in surgical wound infections and in 1867 introduced
of 46 4
• In 20th cent., the standarization of aseptic practices in the operating room greatly improved the safety of clean operative procedures, but operating involving anatomic structures with dense a endogenous that cannot eliminate before surgery , such as colon and rectum, continued to carry a very high risk of infection.
Historical background...........
of 46 5
CDC (1999) :• US : approx. 27 million surgical procedures / yearare performed each
year.• National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance (NNIS) system reported :
• SSIs : 3rd most frequently reported nosocomial infection, accounting for 14% - 16% of all nosocomial infections among hospitalized patients.
• During 1986 to 1996, SSI surveillance reported 15,523 SSIs following 593,344 operations (CDC, unpublished data).
• Among surgical patients, SSIs were the most common nosocomial infection, accounting for 38% of all such infections, 2/3 were confined to the incision , 1/3 involved organs or spaces accessed during the operation.
• 77% of the death of surgical patients with nosocomial were reported to be related to the infection, and the majority (93%) were serious infections involving organs or spaces accessed during the operation.
Public Health Importance of Surgical Site Infections

of 46 6
• In U.S., >40 million inpatient surgical procedures each year; 2-5% complicated by surgical site infection
• SSIs second most common nosocomial infection (24% of all nosocomial infections)
• Prolong hospital stay by 7.4 days• Cost $400-$2,600 per infection (TOTAL:
$130-$845 million/year)

Emerging Challenges
Challenges in detecting SSIs• Lack of standardized methods for
post-discharge/outpatient surveillance • Increased number of outpatient surgeries• Shorter postoperative inpatient stays
Antimicrobial Prophylaxis• Increasing trend toward resistant organisms may
undermine the effectiveness of existing recommendations for antimicrobial prophylaxis

Surgical Wound Classification
• Class 1 – Clean• Uninfected operative wound, no inflammation
• Class II – Clean-Contaminated• Alimentary tract (and others), under controlled conditions
without unusual contamination
• Class III – Contaminated• Major breaks in sterile technique, eg, gross spillage from the
gastrointestinal tract• Incisions encountering acute inflammation
• Class IV – Dirty-Infected • Old traumatic wounds with dead tissue, infection, perforated
viscera

Pathogenesis
Pathogen Sources
Endogenous• Patient flora
• skin • mucous membranes• GI tract
• Seeding from a distant focus of infection
of 46 16
Pathogen Sources
Exogenous• Surgical Personnel (surgeon and team)
• Soiled attire• Breaks in aseptic technique• Inadequate hand hygiene
• OR physical environment and ventilation • Tools, equipment, materials brought to the operative field

Pathogenesis
VirulenceBacterial dose
Impairedhost resistance
of 46 18
If a surgical site is contaminated with >105
microorganisms per gram of tissue, the risk of SSI is markedly increased. However, the dose of contaminating microorganisms required to produce infection may be much lower when foreign material is present at the site (i.e., 100 staphylococci per gram of tissue introduced on silk sutures)
Pathogenesis.....
of 46 19
Microorganisms may contain or produce toxins and other substances that increase their ability to invade a host, produce damage within the host, or survive on or in host tissue. For example, many gram-negative bacteria produce endotoxin, which stimulates cytokine production. In turn, cytokines can trigger the systemic inflammatory response syndrome that sometimes leads to multiple system organ failure.
One of the most common causes of multiple system organ failure in modern surgical care is intraabdominal infection.
Pathogenesis.....
of 46 20
Some bacterial surface components, notably polysaccharide capsules, inhibit phagocytosis, a critical and early host defense response to microbial contamination.
Certain strains of clostridia and streptococci produce potent exotoxins that disrupt cell membranes or alter cellular metabolism. A variety of icroorganisms,including gram-positive bacteria such as coagulasenegative staphylococci, produce glycocalyx and an associated component called “slime,”which physically shields bacteria from phagocytes or inhibits the binding or penetration of antimicrobial agents.
Although these and other virulence factors are well defined, their mechanistic relationship to SSI development has not been fully determined.

needed for passage of equipment, personnel, and the patient
of 46 36
Prevention Strategies: CorePostoperative Measures
• Surgical Wound Dressing• Protect primary closure incisions with sterile dressing for
24-48 hrs post-op
• Control blood glucose level during the immediate post-operative period (cardiac)*• Measure blood glucose level at 6AM on POD#1 and #2

Prolonged use of prophylactic antimicrobials is associated with emergence of resistant bacterial strains. Published evidence demonstrates that antimicrobial prophylaxis after wound closure is unnecessary, and recommend prophylaxis end within 24 hours after the operation.
