Surgical site infections occur when a patient experiences infection following surgery, often as a direct result of the care received in a hospital or other medical facility. While these infections can often be easily treated while the patient is still at the hospital, the incidences of these infections can have significant and lasting impacts on patients and the hospital itself, even resulting in a patient’s death if the infection is not detected and treated appropriately. Since these infections
Surgical site infections are estimated to occur in 3% of surgical patients and cost the healthcare system billions of dollars every year. Surgical site infection contributes to an increased risk of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing a surgical procedure. This paper will present preventative evidence-based practice undertaken by healthcare personnel to prevent the occurrence of surgical site infection. These practices include but are not limited to the appropriate administration
(Chassin, 2008). Infections occurring in surgical sites of patients account for 15% of all infections that transpire in a hospital setting, and the risk of death doubles in patients who develop infections. The dangers of surgical site infections include superficial, deep, and organ or space infections. The different infections include cellulitis, gangrene, MRSA, and wound sinus, which can lead to amputation, organ
NURSING RESEARCH PROJECT SURGICAL SITE INFECTION (SSI) NURSING RESEARCH PROJECT SURGICAL SITE INFECTION (SSI)11 Running Head: NURSING RESEARCH PROJECT SURGICAL SITE INFECTION (SSI) INTRODUCTION Surgical site infections (SSIs) are the leading type of infections among hospitalized patients. There are so many reasons why people go for surgery; it can be an emergency reasons or elective. According to Beaver, (2008) a primary concern in healthcare today is the prevention of infections. Careful handling of

I will like to identify patients conditions and other factors contribute to the development of Surgical Wound infections. * Determine the aims or purposes of analysis The purpose is to understand the effect of environment in surgical wound infections. Prevention of infection requires the application of the principles of microbiology and accept practice. Measure of this
Surgical site shaving Clinical implications Prepping of patients for surgery, as has been the practice, has involved removal of hair on and around the site of surgical incision. Research has shown that infections at surgical sites can be prevented through shaving the incision sites with several researchers revealing that the removal of hair from the surgical site also eliminates bacteria and other pathogens that thrive on the hair. Other researchers, however, revealed that shaving of the patient's
Surgical site infections are considered preventable. Because such infections are considered preventable, there are legal consequences directly connected to such a condition. In this paper, I will discuss what an SSI is and the reasons on why it is considered to be preventable. I will also discuss the role of disclosure and legal implications that are related to SSIs, accreditation expectations, and continuous quality monitoring as it relates to SSIs. A surgical site infection, or SSI, is an infection
