    They are defined as infections that occur 30 days after surgery with no implant, or within 1 year if an implant is placed and infection appears to be related to surgery.
    Most SSIs are caused by endogenous microorganisms present on the patient's skin when the surgical incision is made.
    Gram positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus are the most common causative skin-dwelling microorganisms.
    Exogenous sources of microorganisms include surgical instruments, operating room surfaces, the air, and personnel.

    --- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

    Hair removal was once theorized to reduce the risk of post-operative infection is actually associated with increased incidence of SSI.
    Prevention strategies-
    Preoperative:
    L. Tobacco cessation at least 30 days prior to elective surgery
    2. Antimicrobial prophylaxis

    --- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

    Antimicrobial prophylaxis should be adrninistered only for Class I (clean wound) and II wounds (clean/contaminated wound). Patients with Class III (contaminated wound) or IV wounds (Dirty wound) are presumed to be taking antimicrobial therapy already.
    c) Preoperative showering with chlorhexidine gluconate 4% solution the night before surgery.
    Appropriate timing of administration:
    30 to 60 minutes prior to incision
    1-2 hours for antibiotics with longer periods of infusion, such as vancomycin.
