  27. Late Onset VAP Pathogens

  28. Which of the following has been demonstrated to reduce surgical site infections and is currently part of SCIP recommendations? • Peri-operative prophylactic antibiotics should be given within 60 minutes after incision • Peri-operative prophylactic antibiotics should be given within 60 minutes before incision and discontinued within 24 hours • Peri-operative antibiotics should be continued until the drains are out • Nasal carriage of S. aureus should be eradicated prior to surgery • Pre-surgical bath with chlorhexidine

  29. Surgical Care Improvement Project • Implemented by CDC and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in 2002 • Nationally included procedures • Cardiothoracic, vascular, colon, hip or knee arthroplasty, vaginal or abdominal hysterectomy • Performance measures (Baseline of 34,133 medicare patients in 2001) • Antimicrobial prophylaxis within 1 hr of incision (55.7%) • Antimicrobial agent c/w current guidelines (92.6%) • Discontinuation within 24 hours after surgery (40.7%) • Also, clipping rather than shaving, normothermia, glucose control, morning beta-blocker, DVT prophylaxis • Role of MRSA screening?

  31. Society of Thoracic Surgeons Rationale Unique patient risks Cardiopulmonary bypass, systemic hypothermia Devastating sequelae of mediastinitis (7-20% mortality) No randomized studies < 48 hrs in CT surgery Major Recommendations Postoperative prophylactic antibiotics are given for 48 hours or less Duration not dependent on chest tube removal If risk for MRSA, then vancomycin AND cefazolin Routine mupirocin administration for all patients in the absence of documented negative testing for staphylococcal colonization Ann Thorac Surg 2006;81:397-404 Ann Thorac Surg 2006;83:1569-76

  32. Is Vancomycin Alone Adequate? Pathogens causing deep SSI following CABG, Hip and Knee Arthroplasty • Acceptable for cardiac, vascular, or orthopedic surgery: • Beta-lactam allergy • Documented rationale NNIS 1994-2003

Intranasal Mupirocin and Surgical Site Infections Nasal carriage of S. aureus and risk of surgical site infection Orthopedic surgery with prosthetic implants in 272 patients, RR 8.9(Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2000;21:319-323) Cardiothoracic surgery in 1980 patients, OR 9.6 (J Infect Dis 1995;171:216-9) 10/10 pre- and post-surgical pairs identical by phage typing Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of pre-surgical mupirocin in 3864 patients (N Eng J Med 2002;346:1871-7) No difference in nosocomial infections, nosocomial S. aureus infections, or S. aureus surgical site infections S. aureus carriers (N=891) 4.5 fold increase in S. aureus SSI Significant reduction in S. aureus nosocomial infections (4.0 vs. 7.7) Trend towards decreased S. aureus SSI (3.7 vs. 5.9, 37%, P=0.15) Same strain in nares and site of infection in 85%

Review

  38. It’s a small world… 26 y o medical student returns April 20, 2009 from an international elective in Mexico. On April 27 she presents to ED with 4 day h/o fever 39 C, cough, HA, myalgias, and diarrhea. That same day you hear reports of a novel Influenza A virus H1N1 associated with increased mortality in Mexico.

  39. Which of the following is MOST correct regarding influenza? • No special precautions are necessary for patients with suspected influenza since it is not very transmissible. • Influenza is primarily transmitted by large droplets (> 5 microns), therefore healthcare workers should use Droplet Precautions with a surgical mask with eye protection for routine care to prevent contamination of mouth, nose, and conjunctiva. • Patients with 2009 H1N1 should be placed in airborne isolation with use of N-95 respirators while patients with H1N1 seasonal influenza should be placed in droplet precautions. • A negative rapid antigen test rules out influenza • Influenza vaccination of healthcare workers does not have an impact on patients.

  40. Modes of Transmission Droplets Thought to be primary mode of transmission Coughing, sneezing, and talking Heavy; settle within 6 feet of the source Airborne Related to procedures → aerosolized particles Contact Direct: skin-to-skin contact Indirect: contact with virus in the environment

  41. Respiratory Protection Debate • *Recommending organizations: • World Health Organization (WHO) • Infectious Disease Society of America • Healthcare Infection Control Practices • Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America • Advisory Committee (HICPAC) • Association of Professionals in Infection Control • CDC (during 2009-2010 influenza season) • Fit-tested N95 respirators for care of patients with 2009 H1N1 • Prioritized usage if limited resources • Yet, Standard and Droplet Precautions for seasonal influenza? • Infection Control and Infectious Diseases Societies* • No evidence that 2009 H1N1 transmitted differently than seasonal influenza • Standard and Droplet Precautions for routine care

  42. Surgical Mask vs. N95 RespiratorRandomized Study *RT-PCR or serology JAMA 2009;302:1865-71

  43. UW Medicine Standard, Droplet, and Contact Precautions for routine care Place mask on coughing patients Separate sick from non-sick patients Surgical mask, eye protection, gown, and gloves N95 respirators for higher-risk aerosol-generating procedures Intubation and extubation Bronchoscopy Open suctioning of airway Cardiopulmonary resuscitation Suspected or Confirmed Cases of Influenza

  44. 43 y o woman from Eritrea with 3 week h/o non-productive cough, fever, and night sweats

  45. Now What? AFB smear neg x 5 (3 sputum, 2 BAL) Sputum AMTD neg

  46. Which of the following is the BEST approach? Remove from airborne isolation as a negative AMTD test rules out infectious TB Begin 4 drug therapy and remove patient from airborne isolation due to multiple negative AFB smears Begin 4 drug therapy and keep in airborne isolation Obtain interferon-gamma releasing assay (IGRA) as a negative result would rule out TB

  47. 44 y o Vietnamese man with 6 month h/o pain and swelling of left medial thigh associated with fevers and night sweats
