Abstract:Objective To study the factors which cause incisional wound infection after bone surgery, and take effective measures to prevent and control bone surgical infection.
Methods Bone surgical incision performed in clean operating room were monitored during two stages, the first stage was March 1, 2008-December 31, 2008 ( investigation stage), the occurrence of infection and related factors were investigated; the second stage was January 1,2009-May 31,2009 (intervention stage), related factors according to the investigated results were intervened. Infection rates in two stages were compared.
Results Incisional wound infecton rate in investigation and intervention stage was 5.07% (23/454) and 1.41% (3/213) respectively, infection rate in intervention stage decreased obviously (χ2=4.25, P<0.05).Conclusion Effective prevention and control of bone surgical incisional wound infection can achieve through management of clean operating room, qualified sterilization of operation instruments and relative material, rational use of perioperative antimicrobial agents, correct surgical hand disinfection, strict rules of dressing, and raising of health care workers’ awareness about infection control
