SCCM Resource Library-Variation in Compliance With Colorectal Surgical Site Infection Prevention Bundle

Variation in Compliance With Colorectal Surgical Site Infection Prevention Bundle

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Rachel Smith, a fourth-year medical student, discusses a project focused on preventing surgical site infections (SSIs) in pediatric colorectal surgeries. The project examined compliance rates to four prevention bundle factors, including a preoperative chlorhexidine bath, antibiotic selection and dose timing, bowel preparation, and a surgical closing protocol. The study found an overall SSI rate of 5.8%, with the highest compliance seen in the preoperative chlorhexidine bathing (90%) and the lowest compliance in the surgical closing protocol (2%). The project aims to use the data to identify barriers to compliance and develop interventions to improve outcomes.
