129 Alcohol rubs with additional antiseptic ingredients as well as chlorhexidine gluconate scrubs may reduce colony forming units compared with aqueous scrubs or povidone iodine hand scrubbing; however, this does not translate into a decrease in SSIs. 56 As groin, and presumably perineal incisions, may confer an increased risk of SSI, single-dose AP may be considered for these cases. A known risk of AP failure is inadequate tissue levels due to inappropriate antimicrobial choice, dosing or redosing if a procedure is prolonged. WebIntroduction.

More recent guidelines recommend that only a single dose of preoperative AP be used and that there be no postoperative continuation without exceptions for surgical procedure type. Data Element Name: Antibiotic Administration Date. Drain placement itself may not be directly causative, as the increased risk of an SSI is likely associated with those cases necessitating a drain. For example, while compliance with AP measures enumerated in The Surgical Infection Prevention and Surgical Care Improvement Projects: National Initiatives to Improve Outcomes for Patients Having Surgery12,13 reduced the SSI risk by 18%, 14 increasing compliance with this measure alone did not closely correlate with the resulting decreases in infectious complications rates. The development of bacteriuria after GU instrumentation is not an appropriate clinical endpoint for SSI as it is not a relevant clinical outcome correlating with a defined complication. Mohee AR, Gascoyne-Binzi D, West R, et al: Bacteraemia during transurethral resection of the prostate: what are the risk factors and is it more common than we think? 146,147 Placement of a drain is associated with an increased risk of SSI, 99 but should be utilized when surgically appropriate. Mossanen M, Calvert JK, Holt SK, et al: Overuse of antimicrobial prophylaxis in community practice urology. Clin Infect Dis 1993; 17: 662. Culture results and sensitivities should dictate the antimicrobial agent in these settings. Recent literature suggests that GU procedures do not represent a significant risk factor for subsequent prosthetic joint infections 138 even in the setting of ASB. As examples, a placebo-controlled RCT of 120 patients undergoing TURP with sterile urine were randomized to a first-generation cephalosporin or a third-generation cephalosporin, but the outcome of the study was bacteriuria and not an infectious complication. 121,122 The specific solution chosen should be based upon availability, costs, and potential TEAE. High-level evidence assessing SSI risks in the presence of a drain versus no drain with single dose AP is sorely needed. This is the 3rd Edition of National Antimicrobial Guideline (NAG). However, operative delay is often unsafe and places these patients at higher risk for periprocedural infectious complications. 2012. https://www.rcpi.ie/news/publication/preventing-surgical-site-infections-key-recommendations-for-practice/.

We recommend a maximum of four days of antibiotic agents, and perhaps a shorter duration in patients undergoing cholecystectomy for severe (Tokyo Guidelines grade III) cholecystitis. The patients biome plays a role in the proper selection of AP: patients with colonization with MRSA may need an additional agent for reduction of invasive MRSA skin/soft tissue infections. 126-128 If hair removal is performed, clipping hair 128 may be associated with lower infection compared with using razors.

For cystoscopy performed in patients without a concomitant urologic infection, no significant differences in post-cystoscopy UTIs were seen with or without AP 65,66 with moderate evidence allowing the establishment of a baseline rate of UTI of 3% in placebo-controlled cystoscopic trials. J Surg Res 2017; 215:132. However, AP in high-risk patient populations should be considered, as shown in a small study of renal transplant recipients. In the absence of neutropenia or other high-risk patient characteristics, nephrostomy exchanges and ureteral stenting procedures alone do not require antifungal prophylaxis for asymptomatic funguria.

Speciation of fungal cultures is often not performed, in part, as funguria is very common in stented patients; however, there are cases where amphotericin B deoxycholate should be chosen. Obstet Gynecol 2014; 123: 96. UpToDate 92 Similarly, the dirty case, whether involving debridement, older traumatic wounds with retained devitalized tissue or perforated viscera, requires antimicrobial treatment.
