Risk factors for surgical site infections in potentially contaminated surgeries

Conclusiones: se recomienda que las instituciones implantes un servicio de vigilancia y seguimiento post-alta, a fin de que se mejore la confiabilidad de las tasas de incidencia de las infecciones del sitio quirú rgico; mejorar la calidad del cuidado de los pacientes; la comprensión epidemiológica y la identificación de los factores de riesgo. Además, se propone facilitar el proceso de referencia y contra referencia a través de capacitaciones de la Estrategia de Salud de la Familia para identificar esto s factores de riesgo, actuando en red.ABSTRACT Objective: to associate the risk factors of the postoperative period of potentially contaminated surgeries, with the occurrence of surgical site infections in the postoperative period in the hospital and home setting. Method: the data collection period was from February to June 2015, 84 patients were followed up on the first three post-operative days and seven days after hospital discharge, the collection was performed through questionnaires designed to evaluate the surgical site, the clinical conditions of the patient and chart analysis. In order to verify the influencing risk factors and classifications of surgical site infections, a questionnaire was used with variables that were analyzed in a descriptive manner through simple frequency, percentage, and position and dispersion measurements. Statistical tests were performed for the association and significance level of the risk factors. Results: none of the patients int...
