Description
Introduction Surgical site infections (SSIs) are one of the most important causes of healthcare associated infections (HCAIs), accounting for up to 20% of all HCAIs, and affecting at least 5% of patients undergoing a surgical procedure (NICE 2008). Surgical site infections are associated with considerable morbidity and it has been reported that over one-third of postoperative deaths are related, at least in part, to SSIs. The consequences of such infections can be catastrophic: extended recovery times, more time in hospital, patient discomfort and disability (Plowman et al 2001). Treatment for SSIs is both time consuming and a significant burden on the healthcare system (NICE 2008).
