Slide 5
Prevention of InfectionElements of a Checklist
• Control diabetes

• Clippers – no razors
• S. aureus awareness*
• Normothermia*
• Antibiotic prophylaxis*
• Vaginal preparation
• Skin preparation

Slide 6
ReadinessPreoperative Standards
• Assigning responsibilities
• Preoperative care and education (nursing)
– Chlorhexidine showers/postop wound care
• Evidence based standards
– Normothermia (Anesthesiology)

Slide 7
Preoperative Showers
• Chlorhexidine showers
• Cruse 1980 = 10,000 patients prospective
• Recent meta-analysis less clear (Cochrane)
• OR 0.2 (0.06-0.7)
– 80% reduction*

Slide 8
RecognitionAmeliorate Risk Factors
• Anticipate and plan
• Risk Factors
– Blood glucose level
– BMI
– Bacterial vaginosis screening
– MRSA awareness
– Nutritional status
– Smoking
Slide 9
Diabetes Control
• Real issue is postoperative control
• Good preoperative control makes postoperative easier
• Risk increases for postoperative glucose
– Mean 150-250 = 22% increase
– Mean >250 = 44% increase
• Preoperative guideline = A1c < 8%
– Mean glucose 200 mg/dl

Slide 11
Hysterectomy SSIBacterial Vaginosis
• Increases risk of SSI
– RR = 3.2 (1.5 to 6.7)
• McElligott cost comparison study
– Screen for BV vs treat all vs neither
– Optimal strategy = treat all patients for BV
• If screen positive – 7 days of therapy

Slide 12
MRSA
• Universal, rapid MRSA admission screening did NOT reduce nosocomial infection
• 266 identified as MRSA positive preop
– 115 given preop MRSA prophylaxis
• 0/115 given preop ab prophylaxis active against MRSA developed MRSA infection

surgical patients. JAMA 2008;299(10):1149-1157
Slide 13
MRSAMUSC Approach
• History of MRSA colonization or infection
• Current culture evidence of MRSA colonization
• Undergoing surgical procedure that warrants antibiotic prophylaxis
• Add vancomycin to antibiotic prophylaxis regimen
Slide 14
Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) Measures
• SCIP-Inf-1a: Prophylactic antibiotics within 1 hour of surgical incision – overall rate
• SCIP-Inf-2a: Proportion of patients who received prophylactic antibiotics consistent with current guidelines – overall rate
• SCIP-Inf-3a: Prophylactic antibiotics were discontinued within 24 hours of surgery end time –overall rate
• SCIP-Inf-6: Proportion of patients with appropriate hair removal
Slide 15
Team-Approach to Antibiotic Administration
• Pharmacy-generated antibiotic order sets
• Pharmacy to prepare antibiotics
• Nursing or anesthesia staff verifying antibiotic, patient allergies, correct dose
• Administration of antibiotics within one hour of incision
• Use of the team time out to verify antibiotic administration prior to incision

Slide 52
Risk Adjustment
Risk Factors
Patient-level risk factors • Obesity• Diabetes mellitus• Smoking status• Steroid use• Nutritional status• American Society of Anesthesiologists
Physical Status (ASA PS)
Surgical-level risk factors
• Type of surgery• Duration of surgery• Insertion of foreign material
Slide 53
National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) index
• Three variables contribute one point each:
– American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical status score >3
– Contaminated or dirty wound classification
– Procedure duration > 175th percentile
• Scores range from zero to three
– Zero represents the lowest risk
– Three represents the greatest risk

1991; 91: 152S-157S
Slide 54
Standardized Infection Ratio (SIR)
• Accounts for patient- and procedure-related risk factors within each type of surgery (e.g. patient age, wound class, duration of surgery)
• Compares the number of infections that were observed at the hospital-, state-, or national-level, with the number of predicted infections. – Ratio <1: Fewer infections were observed than
expected
– Ratio>1: More infections were observed that were expected
