Abstract

Surgical site infections (SSIs) are infections of the incision site or organ space following a surgical procedure. The ramifications of an SSI extend beyond individual patient morbidity; SSIs lead to a substantial strain on healthcare systems, irrespective of the economic standing of the country. The utilization of a “care bundle” is a recommended approach for reducing the incidence of SSIs. These bundles typically involve the integration of evidence-based interventions, spanning preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases of care, which aim to standardize healthcare delivery and infection prevention practices. While there is evidence supporting the efficacy of various care bundles, comparisons between specific bundles implemented in high-income countries (HICs) and low- to middle-income countries (LMICs) remain largely unreported. Understanding variations in implemented care bundles in these settings is central to optimize approaches for SSI risk reduction on a global scale.

高收入国家和中低收入国家预防手术部位感染的手术护理捆绑方案：比较综述

手术部位感染（SSI）是指外科手术后切口部位或器官间隙的感染。SSI 的影响不仅限于个别病人的发病率，无论国家的经济状况如何，SSI 都会给医疗系统带来巨大的压力。采用 "护理捆绑 "是降低 SSI 发生率的一种推荐方法。这些护理包通常涉及以证据为基础的干预措施的整合，横跨术前、术中和术后护理阶段，旨在实现医疗服务和感染预防实践的标准化。虽然有证据支持各种护理捆绑包的有效性，但对高收入国家（HICs）和中低收入国家（LMICs）实施的特定捆绑包之间的比较在很大程度上仍未见报道。要在全球范围内优化降低 SSI 风险的方法，了解在这些环境中实施的护理捆绑方案的差异至关重要。

期刊介绍： The objective of this new online journal is to serve as a multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed source of information related to the administrative, economic, operational, safety, and quality aspects of the ambulatory and in-patient operating room and interventional procedural processes. The journal will provide high-quality information and research findings on operational and system-based approaches to ensure safe, coordinated, and high-value periprocedural care. With the current focus on value in health care it is essential that there is a venue for researchers to publish articles on quality improvement process initiatives, process flow modeling, information management, efficient design, cost improvement, use of novel technologies, and management.
