3 Surgical Antibiotic Prophylaxis: What Happens When SCIP Skips the Evidence Base? Dr. Harte's professional experience spans 31 years. He is currently the Assistant Professor of Clinical Anesthesiology at Bassett Medical Center and Columbia University and a recipient of a Master's of Science Degree in Quality and Safety in Healthcare from the Thomas Jefferson School of Population Health. Dr. Francis Harte Attending Anesthesiologist Bassett Medical Center Learning Outcomes At the end of this webinar, the participant will be able to Discuss institution s compliance with the CDC guidelines for surgical antibiotic re dosing in surgeries extending beyond four hours Describe the critical organizational behavioral change elements when undertaking a quality performance improvement initiative Atul Gawande, M.D. 3

4 When would you like the Ancef re-dosed? Is one gram enough? Surgical Site Infections Recent increase in hospital surgical site infection rate Impact of value-based payment on reimbursement Hospital reputation at risk Lack of widespread utilization of current evidence-based clinical pathways Clinical suspicion that surgical antibiotic prophylaxis practice was not evidence-based Awareness that surgical site infections lead to increased patient morbidity, mortality and hospital costs Ted Kaufman, MD.

5 Surgical Site Infection CDC defines an SSI as an infection occurring within 30 days of an operative procedure, or 90 days if prosthetic material is implanted Most common and costliest healthcare-associated infection Estimated to occur in 2-5% of the 48 million surgeries per year in the United States 8,205 deaths associated with SSI s/year 3.2 billion dollars in cost attributable to SSI s occurring in acute care hospitals CDC/NHSN Protocol Corrections, clarifications And Additions. April, Zimlichman, E., Henderson, D., Tamir, O., etal. (2013). Healthcare-Associated Infections: a meta-analysis of costs and financial impact on the US health care system. JAMA Intern Med 173:2039. Do We Have A Problem? CDC Guidelines for Surgical Antibiotic Prophylaxis, published in 2013, selected institutionally as best practice. The CDC guidelines were consensus driven and evidence-based clinical recommendations for the selection and dosing of initial and maintenance antibiotics utilized in surgical procedures. The CDC clinical practice guidelines for antimicrobial prophylaxis in surgery were consensus driven employing four healthcare sub-specialty disciplines: The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists The Infectious Disease Society of America The Surgical Infection Society The Society of Healthcare Epidemiology of America Bratzler, DW., Dellinger, EP.,Olsen, KM., et.al. (2013). Clinical practice guidelines for antimicrobial prophylaxis in surgery. American Journal Health-Systems Pharmacology. 70: CDC Guideline Recommendations For SAP: Key Points To ensure a minimum inhibitory concentration of the antibiotic is realized in the serum and tissue: > The optimal time for the administration of pre-a antibiotics is within 60 minutes of incision. > Maintenance antibiotic re-dosing should occur at time intervals equal to 2x the halflife of the antibiotic. > Antibiotics should be re-dosed when the intra-operative blood loss reaches 1500 ml. > Antibiotic dosing should be weight-based. > Maintenance antibiotic dosing should reflect patient s renal function.

6 Medication Adult Dose Pediatric Dose Re-dosing Renal CDC Surgical Antibiotic Prophylaxis Guidelines Appropriate Antibiotic Prophylaxis and Surgical Site Infections 1. Select the narrowest spectrum antibiotic with equivalent efficacy and a good safety profile 2. Administer the antibiotic with equivalent efficacy for the shortest duration (24 hours) 3. Administer an antibiotic dose designed to achieve minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) in the serum and affected tissues 4. Achieve proper timing before incision 5. Maintain therapeutic levels (MIC) of the antibiotic throughout the operation Zanetti, G., et. al.(2001). Intraoperative redosing of cefazolin and risk for surgical site infection in cardiac surgery. Emerging Infectious Disease. Vol. 7 (5): National Healthcare Safety Network Surgical Site Infections for GAP Analysis: Defining Our Current State A GAP analysis was performed on a sample of 40 surgical cases all exceeding 4 hours in duration performed between 6/1/15 to 7/8/15. The sample involved 9 different surgical disciplines. Data was collected on 9 different variables including: surgical procedure, surgeon, anesthesia team, initial antibiotic selection and dose, maintenance antibiotic re-dosing interval, estimated blood loss, and patient weight, renal function and allergy history. Our operative team performance was compared against the 2013 CDC Surgical Antibiotic Prophylaxis Guidelines. The success metric for maintenance antibiotic re-dosing includes the 60- minute time period comprised of the 30-minute window before and after the evidence-based recommended time. 6

Important variables: multiple surgical teams, extreme patient weight, renal function and surgical blood loss. Bratzler, DW., Dellinger, EP., Olsen, KM., et. al. (2013).

8 Is Process Improvement Enough? If our project entails improving surgical antibiotic prophylaxis administration what will be it s impact on the incidence of SSI s? Donabedian s Conceptual Quality Framework Quality is assessed on the setting in which it is delivered (structure), the actual care delivered (process), or its end points (outcomes). Early approaches to surgical quality measurement and improvement focused primarily on structure and process. (Cms derived surgical care improvement project). How strong is the link between structure, process and outcomes, when it considers the role of surgical antibiotic prophylaxis and it s impact on the incidence of surgical site infections? It is possible our structural and process measures do not clearly improve outcomes due to: Measures are not related Measures are competing and multifactorial Relationships of quality measures too complex to measure Merkow, RP., et. al. (2013). Surgical quality measurement: An evolving science. JAMA Surgery. Vol. 148 (70; Process and Outcome: Our Evolving Science Regarding Antibiotic Prophylaxis and SSI s I.
