Surgical site infection (SSI) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing surgery. Similarly, periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), is a major cause of failure after total joint arthroplasty (TJA). As the annual volume of TJA procedures is projected to rise, so will the rate of subsequent SSI and PJI. Currently, prevention has been identified as the single most important strategy for combating SSI/PJI. Hence, the present article will serve as a summary of an evidence-based ten-step approach for SSI/PJI prevention that may help orthopedic surgeons with their infection prevention strategies.
手术部位感染(SSI)是接受手术患者发病和死亡的常见原因。同样,假体周围关节感染(PJI)是全关节置换术(TJA)后失败的主要原因。随着TJA手术量预计每年增加,随后的SSI和PJI发生率也会上升。目前,预防已被确定为对抗SSI/PJI的最重要单一策略。因此,本文将总结一种基于证据的预防SSI/PJI的十步法,这可能有助于骨科医生制定感染预防策略。
