Surgical-site infections and the NNIS SSI Risk Index: room for improvement.
Surveillance of surgical-site infections (SSI), with feedback of appropriate data to surgeons, has been shown to be an important component of strategies to reduce SSI risk. For SSIs, the traditional wound classification system, which stratifies each wound into one of four categories (clean, clean-contaminated, contaminated, and dirty-infected), has been available since 1964. Limitations of this...
متن کاملSurgical site infection (SSI) rates in the United States, 1992-1998: the National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance System basic SSI risk index.
By use of the National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance (NNIS) System's surgical patient surveillance component protocol, the NNIS basic risk index was examined to predict the risk of a surgical site infection (SSI).

متن کاملInstitution of The Steiros Algorithm(®) Outpatient Surgical Protocol reduced orthopedic surgical site infections (SSI) rates.
BACKGROUND Control of surgical site infections (SSI) is imperative for the safety of our patients. As orthopedic surgeons we strive to have the lowest infection rate possible for all our surgical procedures. this study evaluates the effects of a simple outpatient peri-operative patient cleaning protocol (The Steiros Algorithm(®) Outpatient Surgery Protocol) on SSI rates. METHODS We retrospect...
متن کاملSurgical site infection in patients submitted to orthopedic surgery: the NNIS risk index and risk prediction.
UNLABELLED The applicability of the risk index for surgical site infection of the National Nosocomial Infection Surveillance (NNIS) has been evaluated for its performance in different surgeries. In some procedures, it is necessary to include other variables to predict. OBJECTIVE to evaluate the applicability of the NNIS index for prediction of surgical site infection in orthopedic surgeries a...
