Patients with medical devices or who undergo surgical procedures are at risk for healthcare-associated infections. Surgical site infection (SSI) is the most common healthcare-associated infection and continues to be a major clinical problem in terms of morbidity and mortality, length of hospital stay and financial cost. Guidelines for the prevention of SSIs support healthcare workers in averting infections, by focusing also on control programs regarding both surgical safety and antimicrobial resistance. However, despite the clear evidence and the guidelines, their application in infection, prevention and control is uniformly poor. We therefore suggest the adoption of evidence-based recommendations in clinical practice to improve infection control, by considering its multidimensional aspect.

摘要

Patients with medical devices or who undergo surgical procedures are at risk for healthcare-associated infections. Surgical site infection (SSI) is the most common healthcare-associated infection and continues to be a major clinical problem in terms of morbidity and mortality, length of hospital stay and financial cost. Guidelines for the prevention of SSIs support healthcare workers in averting infections, by focusing also on control programs regarding both surgical safety and antimicrobial resistance. However, despite the clear evidence and the guidelines, their application in infection, prevention and control is uniformly poor. We therefore suggest the adoption of evidence-based recommendations in clinical practice to improve infection control, by considering its multidimensional aspect.
