The implementation of an infection control bundle within a Total Care Burns Unit

AimTo evaluate the impact of the implementation of a best practice infection prevention and control bundle on healthcare associated burn wound infections in a paediatric burns unit.BackgroundBurn patients are vulnerable to infection. For this patient population, infection is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, thereby representing a significant challenge for burns clinicians who care for them.MethodsAn interrupted time series was used to compare healthcare associated burn wound infections in paediatric burn patients before and after implementation of an infection prevention and control bundle. Prospective surveillance of healthcare associated burn wound infections was conducted from 2012 to 2014. Other potential healthcare associated infection rates were also reviewed over the study period, including urinary tract infections, pneumonia, upper respiratory tract infections and sepsis. An infection prevention and control bundle developed in collaboration between the paediatric burn unit and infection control clinicians was implemented in 2013 in addition to previous standard practice.ResultsDuring the study period a total of 626 patients were admitted to the paediatric burns unit. Healthcare associated burn wound infections reduced from 34 in 2012 to 0 in 2014 following the implementation of the infection prevention and control bundle. Pneumonia and sepsis also reduced to 0 in 2013 and 2014, however one upper respiratory tract infection occurred in 2013 and urinary tract infections persisted in 2013.ConclusionThe implementation of an infection prevention and control bundle was effective in reducing healthcare associated burn wound infections, pneumonia and sepsis within our paediatric burns unit. Urinary tract infections remain a challenge for future improvement.     

Risk factors for Epstein–Barr virus reactivation after renal transplantation: Results of a large,multi-centre study

Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) reactivation is a very common and potentially lethal complication of renal transplantation. However, its risk factors and effects on transplant outcome are not well known. Here, we have analysed a large, multi-centre cohort (N = 512) in which 18.4% of the patients experienced EBV reactivation during the first post-transplant year. The patients were characterized pre-transplant and two weeks post-transplant by a multi-level biomarker panel. EBV reactivation was episodic for most patients, only 12 patients showed prolonged viraemia for over four months. Pre-transplant EBV shedding and male sex were associated with significantly increased incidence of post-transplant EBV reactivation. Importantly, we also identified a significant association of post-transplant EBV with acute rejection and with decreased haemoglobin levels. No further severe complications associated with EBV, either episodic or chronic, could be detected. Our data suggest that despite relatively frequent EBV reactivation, it had no association with serious complications during the first post-transplantation year. EBV shedding prior to transplantation could be employed as biomarkers for personalized immunosuppressive therapy. In summary, our results support the employed immunosuppressive regimes as relatively safe with regard to EBV. However, long-term studies are paramount to support these conclusions.     

Resumen ejecutivo del Documento de Consenso de la Sociedad Española de Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiología Clínica (SEIMC) y de la Asociación Española de Cirujanos (AEC) en profilaxis antibiótica en cirugía

Antibiotic prophylaxis in surgery is one of the most effective measures for preventing surgical site infection, although its use is frequently inadequate and may even increase the risk of infection, toxicities and antimicrobial resistance. As a result of advances in surgical techniques and the emergence of multidrug-resistant organisms, the current guidelines for prophylaxis need to be revised.The Sociedad Española de Enfermedades Infecciosas (Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology) (SEIMC) together with the Asociación Española de Cirujanos (Spanish Association of Surgeons) (AEC) have revised and updated the recommendations for antibiotic prophylaxis in surgery to adapt them to any type of surgical intervention and to current epidemiology. This document gathers together the recommendations on antimicrobial prophylaxis in the various procedures, with doses, duration, prophylaxis in special patient groups, and in epidemiological settings of multidrug resistance to facilitate standardized management and the safe, effective and rational use of antibiotics in elective surgery.     

Does Early Debridement,Antibiotic Therapy and Implant Retention (DAIR) have a Role in Managing Periprosthetic Joint Infection of the Knee in Indian Scenario: A Retrospective Analysis of Outcomes

PurposeTo report outcomes of Debridement, Antibiotic therapy and Implant Retention (DAIR) for periprosthetic knee joint infections (PJI) in the Indian population and to study factors influencing outcomes.MethodsThis was a Retrospective study of 80 cases of acute PJI after total knee arthroplasty who were treated by DAIR, within 2 weeks of onset of infection. A standardised institutional management protocol was applied to all cases. Patients were followed up for a minimum 1 year. Outcomes of DAIR were classified as successful or unsuccessful based on resolution or persistence of infection, and subsequent requirement of revision surgery. Influence of factors, like comorbidities, culture status and microbiological characteristics of causative organism, on outcomes was assessed.ResultsOverall 55 patients (68.75%) had successful eradication of infection after DAIR. 27 (33.7%) patients were culture negative and 53 (66.2%) patients grew organisms on culture. There was no statistically significant difference in outcomes (p = 0.082) between culture-positive cases (69.8% success rate) and (66.7% success rate) in culture negative cases. Furthermore, no difference in outcomes was observed in culture-positive patients between those who grew Gram-positive organisms versus Gram-negative organisms (p = 0.398) Similarly, patient comorbidities did not significantly alter the outcomes after DAIR (p = 0.732).ConclusionOur study demonstrates that early DAIR within 2 weeks of onset of infection using a standard protocol during surgery and postoperatively can result in good outcomes. Patient comorbidities, culture status (positive versus negative), Gram staining characteristics of organisms and the identity of pathogenic bacteria did not influence outcomes of DAIR for acute PJI.     

Surgical site infection following surgery for spinal deformity: About 102 patients

IntroductionComplex spinal surgery is known to be at risk of complications. Surgical site infection is a serious complication in spine surgery and its frequency is significantly increased in adult spinal deformity correction. The aim of this study is to identify patients’ characteristics and risk factors of surgical site infection (SSI) following an osteotomy.MethodsThis is a single-center retrospective study of patients who underwent an osteotomy between January 2015 and December 2017. Surgical site infection diagnosis was based upon patient's clinical evidence of infection, biologic parameters, microbiological criteria and/or image findings.ResultsIn total, 102 patients were eligible and 70 were women (68.6%). Mean age was 65 years old (27–83 years) and mean body mass index (BMI) was 26.14 kg.m⁻² (18.4–44.1). Eleven patients were in the SSI group and 91 in the No-SSI group. The mean Schwab grade was 1.5 (1–4) in the SSI group vs. 1.4 (1–5) in the No-SSI group (P = 0.435). The mean operative time was on 201.9 minutes (67–377). Mean length of stay was 20.6 days (10–73) in the SSI group vs. 15 days (5–44) in the No-SSI group (P = 0.041). Favorable outcome was found in 10 patients (90.9%) in the SSI group.ConclusionCorrection surgery for adult spinal deformity with osteotomies carries a high risk of complications specially SSI. Identification of risk factors, prevention and medical management of SSI should be well assessed.
