  1. SSI Evidence–a Surgeon’s Perspective • E. Patchen Dellinger, MD • University of Washington

  2. Caring for theCritically Ill Patient • ABC = airway, breathing, circulation

  3. Preventing Surgical Site Infections (SSI) • ABC = airway, breathing, circulation • = temperature, oxygen, fluids • ABCD - Add drugs (antibiotics) • Add - glucose control • proper hair removal • surgical technique • teamwork • other ??

  4. Prophylactic AntibioticsQuestions • Which cases benefit? • Which drug should you use? • When should you start? • How much should you give? • How long should antibiotics be continued?

  6. Antibiotic ProphylaxisDemonstrated Benefit: All Procedures?? Review of prophylaxis meta-analyses suggests that there is a consistent relative risk of wound infection less than one associated with antibiotic prophylaxis. This is independent of the type of operation or the baseline (placebo) rate of infection. Bowater. Ann Surg 2009;249: 551–556

  7. Prophylactic AntibioticsQuestions • Which cases benefit? • Which drug should you use? • When should you start? • How much should you give? • How long should antibiotics be continued?

  8. Surgical Antibiotic ProphylaxisMy Choices • Bacteroides expected • Cefazolin 2 g + Metronidazole 1g, IV in OR • Repeat cefazolin q 3 h during procedure • Bacteroides not expected • Cefazolin 2 g, IV in OR • Repeat q 3 h during procedure

  9. Alternatives • Cefazolin • Other first generation cephalosporin • Cefuroxime, cefamandole, cefonicid • Oxacillin, etc • Cefazolin plus metronidazole • Ertapenem • Aminoglycoside or quinolone plus clindamycin or metronidazole

  33. When I started my residency in 1970 all patients having colectomy got a bowel prep as inpatients before their operation, and we had just seen the first widely believed paper that demonstrated a beneficial effect of parenteral prophylactic antibiotics for patients having GI operations. Oral antibiotics were not used.

  40. Sometime in the 1980’s most American and Canadian surgeons adopted oral antibiotic regimens while most European surgeons abandoned oral antibiotics.

  48. Conclusions - ? • If you are not going to give any oral antibiotics then the MBP is not necessary and there is a suggestion of harm along with more GI symptoms. • However, if you are going to take my colon out I will suffer through the bowel prep and take oral antibiotics in advance of the operation for the lowest SSI rate!
