Background: This study analysed the incidence of surgical site infections in gastrointestinal surgeries and its risk factors. so this study helped us in reducing surgical site infection by avoiding or minimizing that risk factors.Methods: The present study was conducted at general surgery department, SMIMER, Surat. An observational study of 400 cases that have undergone abdominal surgery in SMIMER hospital and were followed up from the day of operation to 30 days after discharge was done.Results: The overall infection rate for a total of the 400 cases was 17.25%. The incidence rate in this study was well within the infection rates of 2.8% to 17% seen in other studies. Different studies from India at different places have shown the SSI (surgical site infection) rate to vary from 6.09% to 38.7%.Conclusions: Our study reveals that though SSIs have been widely studied since a long time, they still remain as one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality in surgically treated patients.

Background: Understanding SSI and providing feedback to the surgical team has been shown to reduce the incidence of surgical site infection and the cost incurred due to it. Objective: To assess the risk factors of surgical site infection (SSI) in elective gastrointestinal surgery. Methods: prospective data were collected on 1122 surgical patients admitted in the surgery department in BSMMU from January 201 0 to July 201 2. All preoperative risk factors were evaluated .Patients operated were followed in the post operative period and if any wound infection noted, swab from the site of infection was sent for culture and sensitivity and antibiotics were given accordingly. Results: The incidence of SSI was 1 83(1 6.31 %).Out of this 1 83 cases 65.6% had BMI <25. Anaemia was present in 45.90% cases, bronchopulomnary disease was present in 1 1 .5% cases and DM & jaundice was present in 8.1 9% and 28.9% cases accordingly. 69(37.7%) cases were habitual smoker.SSI rate progressively increased with rate of contamination and maximum infection occurred in lower GIT surgery which was 144(1 7.84%). SSI developed more, in 1 02 (55.74 %) cases when duration of peration was more th ;1 1 1;1.2 hours. In 73.8% cases of SSI drain tube was used. Statistically significant risk factors for SS were found to be smoking habit, BMI <25, preoperative anaemia and duration of operation more than two hours. Conclusion: Specific optimization of the patients' preoperative condition is essential to reduce the risk of SSI following elective gastrointestinal surgery. Surveillance should be conducted and maintained in all hospitals to promote better surgical outcomes. Cessation of smoking, optimization of nutritional status, correction of anaemia and reduction of operation time should be associated with a lower incidence of SSI.

Objective: Surgical site infections [SSI] are the leading cause of hospital-acquired infections. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether surgical site infections can be reduced with two or more antibiotics regimen versus one or no antibiotic regimen in post-operative surgery.Methods: The patients were grouped into 2 groups. Group A (two or more antibiotics regimen) and Group B (one or no antibiotic regimen). Then the patients were followed on 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th week respectively after surgery to check for any surgical site infection by direct interviewing the patients. Results: The overall surgical site infection rate was 48.3 % (58 out of 120 patients). However, this study was more dominated by female patients–there were 63% female patients compared to 37 % male patients enrolled in this study. Also, the post-operative surgical site infection was comparatively observed more in female patients than in male. General surgery department too had many gynaecology related patients followed by Orthopaedic and Endocrinology surgeries. Results revealed that the patients in Group A (Two or more antibiotics) had significantly lower number of surgical site infections when compared with Group B (One or no antibiotics) with p<0.001.Conclusion: Our study concludes that patients receiving two or more antibiotics had significantly less number of post-operative surgical site infections when compared to patients receiving one or no antibiotics and following two or more antibiotics can reduce the excess hospital cost.

Road Map

Among strategies to reduce surgical site infection (SSI) risk, we concentrate on the optimization of the air quality through the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Current ventilation standards applied by some European countries have been compared and show uncertainty in the criteria for dimensioning the HVAC system. The development of a comprehensive regulation needs further discussion.

Introduction: The aim of this study is to investigate, the etiologies, the results of management of acute generalized peritonitis of appendicular origin. Acute generalized peritonitis of appendicular origin is defined as acute inflammation of the peritoneum resulting from either perforation of the appendix or spread of a peri-appendicular abscess. Methodology: The visceral surgery department of the Sino-Guinean Friendship Hospital served as the framework for this work. All patients admitted and operated on for acute generalized peritonitis of appendicular origin whose records were complete were included in this study. Results: During our study we recorded 23 cases of appendicular peritonitis, the sex ratio of nearly 3.6 reflected a clear male predominance of the condition. We noted 15 cases of appendicular perforation, 8 cases of appendicular gangrene, 2 cases of surgical site infection, 2 cases of evisceration and 2 cases of death. Conclusion: Appendicular peritonitis is a frequent disease, the management is medico-surgical.
