Prevention of perioperative infection

Prevention of perioperative infection is a clinical prophylactic indication aimed at averting healthcare-associated infections—predominantly surgical site infections (SSIs)—in patients undergoing operative procedures

These infections affect the integumentary, musculoskeletal, or specific visceral organ systems involved in surgical intervention, manifesting pathologically when endogenous skin flora or exogenous pathogens contaminate the surgical wound, surrounding fascia, deep soft tissues, or operative cavities Clinically, failure to prevent these infections leads to localized erythema, purulence, tissue breakdown, systemic inflammatory responses, and potential sepsis, which significantly increase postoperat...
