Not only antibiotics • Increase patient resistance to infections • Good pre-operative measures, treat all infective foci, good nutritional status, short pre-operative hospitalization, … • Good wound care • Surgical technique, dressings • Keep wound aseptic
Surgical site infectionRisk factors • Long pre-operative hospitalization • Long operative procedures • Co-morbidities • Prosthetic device • Any prosthetic device increase wound and surgical site infections rate; low bacterial load can be cause of infection.
Antibiotic prophylaxisIndications ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY • Antibiotic prophylaxis is strongly recommended in: Hip and knee replacement
Antibiotic selection • Surgical site • Pharmacokinetics • Allergies • Drug toxicity and drug interactions • Demonstrated efficacy in randomized studies • Ecosystem • Costs • Possible etiologic agents
AntibioticHow to choose • Spectrum • Proven efficacy on probable contaminant bacteria • Monitoring • Epidemiology in any Orthopedic Unit • Any surgical unit MUST perform cultures with drug sensitivity.
Timing -1- • Prophylaxis • Usually started immediately before anesthesia • Antibiotic administration more then 2 hours before surgery has lower prophylactic power
Timing -2- • Additional dose during surgery Most antibiotics used in prophylaxis have short half-life (1-2 hours). Additional dose of antibiotics if surgery > 2-4 hours • Prophylaxis limited to surgical time Extended prophylaxis (24 hours) may be justified in clinical settings with high risk of infection
Prosthetic infections Prophylaxis • Coagulase-negative Staphylococci (30-43%) • Staphylococcus aureus (12-23%) • Mixed flora (10-11%) • Streptococci (9-10%) • Enterococci (3-7%) • Gram negative Bacilli (3-6%) • Anaerobes (2-4%)
Prosthetic infections • Treatment: • Expensive • Hard for the patient • Hard for the surgeon • Hard for the infectivologist
Microbiological diagnosis MANDATORY!!! • Synovial fluid culture • Peri-prosthetic culture • Wound-swab or fistula-swab: colonization! Only Staphylococcus aureus should be considered • Blood cultures?
Prosthetic infections Involved Bacteria • Coagulase-negative Staphylococci (30-43%) • Staphylococcus aureus (12-23%) • Mixed flora (10-11%) • Streptococci (9-10%) • Enterococci (3-7%) • Gram negative bacilli (3-6%) • Anaerobes (2-4%) • Negative cultures (11%) • Polimicrobic (12-19%) • Rare: Brucella, Candida, mycobacteria
Prosthetic infections Antibiotic treatment alone Success rate ~ 5%!!!!
Prosthetic infections Conservative surgery + Antibiotic therapy Success rate ~ 20%!!!!
