Incidence of surgical site infections in clean and clean contaminated surgeries
Keywords:
Comorbidities, Surgical antibiotic prophylaxis, SurveillanceAbstract
Background: Health care-associated infections (HAI) continue to be a significant global community health issue and a concern to patient safety despite significant progress in infection control strategies. Among the most often reported illnesses acquired in hospitals are surgical site infections (SSI) (HAI). Methods: This prospective observational study was held in the various Surgical departments of Bakhtawar Amin Trust Teaching Hospital Multan and Fauji foundation hospital Peshawar cantt.April, 2022 to September, 2022. The study comprised a total of 400 individuals who underwent clean and clean contaminated procedures. Data on comorbidities, post-operative stay, kind of surgery, length of operation, use of prosthesis, day of SSI event, demographics, and re-suturing were gathered and evaluated. Pus aspirate/swab from patients suspected of having SSI was sent for culture and sensitivity testing. Results: The study covered 400 clean contaminated and clean surgeries. 5 percent of cases developed SSI. There was a correlation between SSI and age group, gender and also depends on the procedure type as emergency or elective. The stay in hospital was prolonged post-operatively (>7 days) in 14 (70%) patients who acquired SSI. 13 (65%) of the patients with SSI had co-morbidities. E.
