  1. A proposal for a comprehensive approach to infections across the

    Despite evidence supporting the effectiveness of best practices in infection prevention and management, many healthcare workers fail to implement them and evidence-based practices tend to be underused in routine practice. Prevention and management of infections across the surgical pathway should always focus on collaboration among all healthcare workers sharing knowledge of best practices.

    1. Introduction. Surgical site infections (SSIs) are responsible for about 20% of all healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and at least 5% of patients undergoing a surgical procedure develop a surgical site infection [1,2,3].The incidence of SSIs is 2-5% in patients undergoing inpatient surgery; however, the number of SSIs is likely to be underestimated given that approximately 50% of ...
