Lefebvre et al Journal of Hospital Infection 95 (2017) Recommended best practice based on clinical experience of guideline developers. This guideline has been registered with the trust. However, clinical guidelines are guidelines only. The interpretation and application of clinical guidelines will remain the responsibility of the individual clinician.

3 1.Introduction: Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the most common healthcare associated infections resulting in an average additional hospital stay of 6.5 days per case. In operations with a higher risk of infection (e.g. clean-contaminated surgery), perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis has been shown to lower the incidence of infection. High antibiotic levels at the site of incision for the duration of the operation are essential for effective prophylaxis. Studies have shown that the administration of prophylactic antibiotics after wound closure does not reduce infection rates further and can result in harm (see below). Administration of antibiotics also increases the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and predisposes the patient to infection with organisms such as Clostridium difficile, a cause of antibiotic-associated colitis. This risk increases with the duration that antibiotics are given for and is higher in the elderly, immunosuppressed, patients who have a prolonged hospital stay or who have received gastro-intestinal surgery. 2. Risk of infection: The risk of SSI depends on a number of factors; these can be related to the patient or the operation and some of them are modifiable (see Table 1): Patient Age Nutritional status Diabetes Smoking Obesity Coexistent infections at a remote body site Colonization with microorganisms (e.g. Staph. aureus) Immunosuppression (inc. taking glucocorticoid steroids or immunosuppressant drugs) Length of preoperative stay Coexistent severe disease that either limits activity or is incapacitating. Malignancy Operation Duration of surgical scrub / Skin antisepsis Preoperative shaving/ preoperative skin prep. Length of operation Appropriate antimicrobial prophylaxis Operating room ventilation Inadequate sterilization of instruments Foreign material in the surgical site Surgical drains Surgical technique inc. haemostasis, poor closure, tissue trauma Post-operative hypothermia Table 1 Risk factors that increase the rate of SSI The risk is also related to the amount of contamination with microorganisms the socalled class of the operation (see Table 2): Class Definition Clean Operations in which no inflammation is encountered and the respiratory, alimentary or genitourinary tracts are not entered. There is no break in aseptic operating theatre technique. Clean-contaminated Operations in which the respiratory, alimentary or genitourinary tracts are entered but without significant spillage. Contaminated Operations where acute inflammation (without pus) is encountered, or where there is visible contamination of the wound. Examples include gross spillage from a hollow viscus during the operation or compound/open injuries operated on within four hours Dirty Operations in the presence of pus, where there is a previously perforated hollow viscus, or compound/open injuries more than four hours old. Table 2 Definitions of operation class. Nottingham Antibiotic Guidelines Committee Page 3 of 6

4 Peri-operative antibiotics are generally recommended for clean-contaminated or contaminated operations. Dirty operations (e.g. perforated appendectomy) generally require treatment with antibiotics. 3 Antibiotic Prophylaxis 3.1 Timing for Administration Antibiotic prophylaxis administered too early or too late increases the risk of SSI. Studies suggest that antibiotics are most effective when given 30 minutes before skin is incised. The pragmatic approach is to administer prophylaxis towards the end of induction and ensure that surgery starts within 30 minutes of this time wherever possible. 3.2 Additional Intra-operative doses Antibiotic High antibiotic levels, at the site of incision, for the duration of the operation, Cefuroxime 4 hours, give 1.5g IV are essential for effective prophylaxis. Flucloxacillin 3 hours, give 1g IV Patients who experience major blood loss Gentamicin (greater than 1500ml) should have fluid Metronidazole resuscitation, followed by re-dosing with Teicoplanin the recommended prophylaxis regimen for that operation (see section 5). For operations lasting more than 4 hours re-dosing may be necessary (see table 3) Recommended re-dosing interval/adult dose to give re-dosing not recommended 8 hours, give 500mg IV re-dosing not recommended Table 3: Recommend re-dosing interval 3.3 Post-operative antibiotic prophylaxis Studies have shown that giving additional antibiotic prophylaxis after wound closure does not reduce infection rates further. Post-operative antibiotics should only be given to treat active/on-going infection unless specifically recommended against the surgical procedure (see section 5 special implants). 4. MRSA / MSSA decolonisation prior to: Special implants Elective surgery If pre-op screen positive: Mupirocin 2% (Bactroban) nasal ointment (topically to each nostril) TDS for 5 days prior to surgery PLUS Octenisan washes OD for 5 days and wash hair twice in the five days starting prior to surgery. Emergency surgery Send screen and start Mupirocin 2% (Bactroban) nasal ointment (topically to each nostril) TDS, stop if screen negative continue if positive for 5 days at the point of admission PLUS Octenisan washes OD for 5 days and wash hair twice in the five days at the point of admission.
