JAMA Research Summary: Intrawound Tobramycin Plus Vancomycin to Prevent Surgical Site Infection in Tibial Fractures. The study showed deep surgical site infections occurred in 7.4% of combined treatment(753 patients) and 6.6% of single treatment(775 patients).

📊 Research Summary: In a randomized clinical trial, intrawound tobramycin plus vancomycin offered no added benefit over vancomycin alone for preventing deep #SurgicalSiteInfection after definitive tibial fracture fixation.

JAMA presents research on surgical site infections: Population: 925 male, 603 female, adults 18-80. Intervention: 753 combined treatment(intrawound tobramycin plus vancomycin), 775 single treatment(vancomycin). Findings: Combined treatment 51 of 753, Single treatment 47 of 775.

Among patients undergoing surgery for high-risk periarticular #TibialFracture, adding intrawound tobramycin to vancomycin did not reduce deep #SurgicalSiteInfection compared with vancomycin alone.

Multipronged interventions to reduce surgical site infections: A multicenter implementation research protocol Various interventions have been explored in research for the prevention of SSIs. However, these measures have not been standardized and multipronged combined interventions are seldom used, especially ...

Improving Preoperative Bathing Compliance Through Standardized Protocols and Team Collaboration A multidisciplinary team tackled low compliance in preoperative bathing, showing that standardization—not product choice—drives surgical site infection prevention and patient safety outcomes.

As a critical component of the Surgical Site Infection (SSI) prevention bundle, Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) bathing compliance is a report that PraediAlert tracks.

Increased Use of Ambulatory Surgery Centers Demands SSI Prevention As surgical procedures shift increasingly to ambulatory care settings, preventing surgical site infections is more critical than ever to protect patients and reduce avoidable costs.

The shift towards ambulatory surgery centers necessitates robust surgical site infection prevention strategies. PraediAlert offers a targeted solution for infection preventionists to proactively monitor SSIs. #PraediAlert #SSI #surgicalsiteinfection

Identifying potential predictors of surgical site infection risk following cardiac surgery: a scoping review This scoping review was undertaken to identify risk predictions models and preoperative predictors of surgical site infection (SSI) in adult cardiac surgery. A particular focus was on the identification of novel predictors that could underpin the future development of a risk prediction model to identify individuals at high-risk of SSI, and therefore guide a national SSI prevention strategy.
