  1. Surgical site infection (SSI) Dr. Mohamed Selima

  2. SSI Sources • Endogenous • Patient’s own flora at site • Flora at contiguous to site • Exogenous • Hospital environment • Medical personnel

  3. Endogenous SSI • Majority of SSI • Staph au and Staph Coag • Present on skin, directly introduced in SS by incision or manipulations • Cleansing & skin degermingare useful BUT difficult for • Heavily colonized sites • Unclean sites • Distant colonization may play role

  4. Exogenous SSI • From hands of surgeon by direct inoculation. • Glove perforations no role. • Studies showed some migration • From hair & scalp • From inside surgical mask unless hood present • From face and nostrils, increased by talking

  5. Clean /Contaminated • Clean site: • No inflammation • No penetration of • Closed or with closed drainage • Clean Contaminated site: • Respiratory, GI, genital or urinary tracts entered under controlled conditions with no unusual contamination • Specific site: biliary tract, appendix, vaginal, oropharynx • Contaminated site: • Accidental wound with major breach in asepsis • Wound with massive GI spill • Sites entered with urinary, biliary infection, acute non-purulent infection • Dirty & Infected: • Old wound with devitalized tissue, foreign bodies, fecal contamination • Perforated viscus • Pus

  6. Superficial SSI • PURULENT DRAINAGE from superficial incision (Culture not indispensable) or • Positive culture from a closed surgical site obtained aseptically or • One of : Pain or tenderness, localized swelling, redness, heat, wound dehiscence, abscess • and of infection and wound reopening or • Medical diagnosis of SSI • “Not Superficial SSI : Stitch abscess, Episiotomy, circumcision infection, (not operative figures) Infected burn wound

  7. Deep Incisional SSI • Infection involves deep soft tissues (e.g., fascial and muscle layers) and at least one of the following: • Purulent drainage from deep incision but not from organ/space • Deep incision dehiscence or opened by surgeon when patient has at least one of: fever (>38ºC), localized pain, or tenderness, unless site is culture-negative • Abscess or other evidence of infection of deep incision on direct examination, reoperation, histopathologic or radiologic exam • Diagnosis of a deep incisional SSI by physician

  8. Organ /Space SSI • Infection involves organs or spaces (other than incision) opened or manipulated during an operation and at least one of the following: • Purulent drainage from a drain that is placed through a stab wound‡ into the organ/space • Organisms isolated from an aseptically obtained culture of fluid or tissue in the organ/space • An abscess or other evidence of infection organ/space on direct examination, reoperation, histopathologic or radiologic examination • Diagnosis of an organ/space SSI by physician.

  9. Risk Factors • Dose of bacterial contamination • Virulence of microorganism • Resistance of host • Condition of surgical site
