Efficacy of targeted monitoring and bundle intervention measures on surgi-cal site infection following total abdominal hysterectomy / 中国感染控制杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the incidence of surgical site infection(SSI)and compliance to bundle inter-vention measures on SSI following total abdominal hysterectomy in patients in department of gynaecology of a tertia-ry first-lass hospital,and evaluate the efficacy of bundle intervention measures in prevention and control of SSI. Methods From March 2014 to October 2015,all gynecology patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy were as targeted monitored subjects,March-September 2014 was baseline investigation stage,October 2014 to Oc-tober 2015 was intervention stage(new bundle intervention measures were performed),compliance to bundle inter-vention measures and incidence of SSI before and after intervention were compared.Results A total of 222 episodes of total abdominal hysterectomy were monitored,the incidence of SSI was 5 .86% ,the operation P75 time were 2 hours. Compared with the baseline stage,the compliance to most traditional intervention measures improved after intervention,the largest increase in the compliance to interventions was follow-up after surgery (increased by 64.16% ),followed by preoperative perineal disinfection(increased by 39.07% )and hand hygiene(increased by 21 .34% ). Compliance to new intervention measures was 100.00% . Incidence of SSI following total abdominal hys-terectomy after intervention was significantly lower than before intervention(2.27% [3/132]vs 11.11% [10/90]), difference was significant (χ2= 7.583,P<0.05).Conclusion Targeted monitoring on SSI following total abdomi-nal hysterectomy can improve compliance to bundle intervention measures and decrease incidence of SSI.
