Surgical Site Infection (SSI) is common after abdominal surgery. A care bundle was introduced to sustainably reduce SSI after elective colorectal surgery. This study aimed to implement an expanded care bundle after emergency laparotomy. |
Quality improvement methodology was used. SSI was measured by direct assessment of the wound in patients in hospital at 30 days. For discharged patients, the PHE SSI surveillance questionnaire was used to measure patient-reported SSI 30 days post-operatively. The care bundle included: 2% chlorhexidine skin preparation... |
Baseline SSI was 13.5% (178 patients) which reduced to 8.5% (118 patients) following bundle introduction. Response rate was 60%. Compliance with antibacterial sutures was measured for patients whose wounds were closed; 10% received negative pressure dressings. Mortality within 30 days was 9%. Length of stay reduced fr... |
The care bundle reduced SSI after emergency laparotomy. Measuring SSI is more difficult after emergency surgery due to higher death rate, longer length of stay and use of laparostomy. Other challenges include difficulty using wound protectors for some procedures e.g. adhesiolysis and changing practice from use of skin... |
