Superficial Surgical Site Infection: An Analysis of Compliance with Good Infection Control Practices in a Tertiary Care Institute
Aim: To determine the incidence of SSI and evaluate the role of presurgical infection control practices in preventing superficial surgical site infection. Methodology: This study was conducted for a period of 3 months from January 2023 to March 2023. A total of 200 surgical cases were included in the study. Active surveillance for superficial surgical site infections was done along with the analysis of presurgical infection control practices. Results: The incidence of SSI in our study was 6.5 per 100 surgical cases. Surgeries done by the Obstetrics and gynecology department and Emergency surgeries were found to be significantly associated with the occurrence of SSI. Escherichia coli were the commonest pathogen, followed by coagulase-negative staphylococcus.
