Remote-Site Infection and Shaving
The presence of a remote-site infection,whether it is a pustule, an upper respiratoryinfection, or urinary tract infection, needs to beidentified and treated prior to any surgicalintervention
A patient whose surgical site has been shavedhas an infection rate two to three times higher than patients who are not shaved
The need for shaving a surgical site should beconsidered not for sanitary reasons but only forthe convenience of the patients wound care .

Core Body Temperature
The presence of the cold environment in theoperating room reduces the patients core bodytemperature
This reduction in the patients core temperaturesignificantly increases the risk of postoperativeinfection
This requires meticulous attention to keeping thepatient warm

Closed wound
Healing by primary intention Closed wounds should be kept sterile for 24-48 h until
epithelialization is complete Tensile strength is only 200/0 of normal skin at 3 weeks
when collagen cross-linking is becoming significant. At 6weeks, wounds are at 70% of the tensile strength of normalskin, which is nearly the maximal tensile strength achievedby scar (75%-80% of normal).

Open Wound Necrotic material should be removed Open wounds heal optimally in a moist, sterile environment The wound is open, and the edges are not approximated The suture closed as delayed primary closure after 2 5 days These wounds heal by contraction and epithelialization.

Secondary closure of wound
The wound is open, and the edges are not approximated. A
potentially contaminated wound is best left open lightly packedwith damp saline soaked gauze and the suture closed as delayedprimary closure after 2 5 days

MICROBIAL FACTORS OF IMPORTANCE IN
THE DEVELOPMENT OF INFECTION
Two major reservoirs :(1) host endogenous microflora
(2) microbes within the external milieu, whichoften represents the nosocomialenvironment for hospitalized individuals

Prophylactic antibiotics Empirical cover against expected pathogens with local
hospital guidelines Single-shot intravenous administration at induction of
anaesthesia
Repeat only in prosthetic surgery, long operations or ifthere is excessive blood loss Continue as therapy if there is unexpected
contamination Patients with heart valve disease or a prosthesis should
be protected from bacteraemia caused by dental work,urethral instrumentation or visceral surgery

Prophylactic antibiotics
Medical considerations that compromise thehealing capacity or increase the infection risk :
Diabetes Peripheral vascular disease Possibility of gangrene or tetanus Immunocompromise
8/13/2019 1.Prevention and Treatment of Surgical Infection

Prophylactic antibiotics
High-risk wounds or situations: Penetrating wounds Abdominal trauma Compound fractures Wounds with devitalized tissue Lacerations greater than 5 cm or stellate lacerations
Contaminated wounds High risk anatomical sites such as hand or foot Biliary and bowel surgery.

Antibiotic Therapy
A narrow-spectrum antibiotic may be used totreat a known sensitive infection
Combinations of broad-spectrum antibioticscan be used when the organism is not known

24/27
Principles for the use of antibiotictherapy
Antibiotics do not replace surgical drainage ofinfection
Only spreading infection or signs of systemic
infection justifies the use of antibiotics Whenever possible, the organism and sensitivity
should be Determined

HIV, AIDS AND THE SURGEON
Involvement of surgeons with HIV patients(universal precautions):
use of a full face mask ideally, or protective spectacles; use of fully waterproof, disposable gowns and drapes,particularly during seroconversion; boots to be worn, not clogs, to avoid injury from dropped
sharps; double gloving needed allow only essential personnel in theatre; avoid unnecessary movement in theatre; respect is required for sharps, with passage in a kidney dish; a slow meticulous operative technique is needed with
minimised bleeding .
