Surgical Site Infection

Brief summary

Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the most common postoperative complications in surgery, with high morbidity. In the tertiary-center that the investigators evaluated they had a significant rate of surgical site infection. Because of that the investigators created a care bundle of measures in order to improve the outcomes.

Detailed description

Prospectively the investigators implemented a care bundle of measures with retrospective analysis, to decrease SSI . The superficial, deep and organ/space infections were evaluated and compared before and after care bundle implementation. Between january 1, 2016 and December 31, 2020, 1139 patient records relating to surgical incisions were submitted for analysis.
