Developing the Surgical Conscience
• Is this the best practice?
• Do I have everything necessary for the

procedure?
• Have I done all I can do to provide a safe,therapeutic environment for the patient?

What is the first line of defense against infection?
• According to the CDC Guidelines for Prevention of Surgical Site Infections (SSI), for most SSIs, the source of pathogens is the endogenous flora of

pat oge s s t e e doge ous o a othe patient’s skin, mucous membranes or hollow viscera
• When mucous membranes or skin is incised,the exposed tissues are at risk for contamination with endogenous flora

2012 AORN Recommendation #III
• The patient’s skin condition should be assessed for the presence of lesions or other tissue conditions at the surgical site before skin preparation begins. Unintentional removal of lesions (eg, nevi) traumatizes the skin on the
© 3M 2011. All Rights Reserved.15
surgical site and provides and opportunity for wound colonization by microorganisms.
• The presence of excessive hair that may interfere with the surgical procedure should be identified.

PreOp Hair Removal
© 3M 2011. All Rights Reserved.16
Hair should be removed in a locationoutside of the operating orprocedure room
Hair removal should be performedthe day of surgery.
2012 AORN Recommendation #IV
• Hair at the surgical site should be left in place (i.e., not removed) whenever possible• Patients should be instructed not to shave at home• Hair should not be removed by a razor• Head and Neck surgery alternatives include braiding or the use
of nonflammable gels to keep hair away from incision• If the presence of hair will interfere with the surgical
© 3M 2011. All Rights Reserved.17
• If the presence of hair will interfere with the surgical procedure• Remove the day of surgery, outside the OR• Only remove hair that interferes with the procedure should be
clipped • Only the use of a single-use electric or battery operated clipper,
or one with reusable head that can be disinfected between patients, is recommended
• Depilatories can be used if skin testing has been done
AORN and Clipping
• 1-2mm of stubble remaining recommended

Stubble Length
• Razors cause microscopic cuts and nicks, some of which are not visible to the naked eye. “ In fact the stubble should be reassuring,” commented William C. Beck,MD,FACS, 1986 Surgery, Gynecology & Obstetrics. “ it gives
© 3M 2011. All Rights Reserved.19
assurance that the superficial skin squames have not been disturbed.
Supporting Organizations
• American College of Surgeons (ACS) follows the CDC Guidelines
• The Association of Practitioners in Infection Control (APIC) also recommends clipping

S i l Ski A ti iSurgical Skin Antisepsis
2012 AORN Recommended Practices for Skin Preparation of Patients
The goal of pre-op skin prep is to reduce the risk of postoperative surgical site infection by:
Remove soil and transient organisms

Remove soil and transient organisms Reduce resident microbial count to sub pathogenic levels
with the least amount of tissue irritation Inhibit rapid rebound growth of microorganisms

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Patient Skin Prep
• Immediate and persistent activity
• Drape adhesion
• Affect of blood and/or saline
© 3M 2011. All Rights Reserved.46
• Application instructions for both clean dry skin and moist areas (groin)
• Product warnings
Choosing the Right Antimicrobial
• Challenges that face surgical preps • very different from those for surgical hand antisepsis and even
intravascular catheter site preps.
• Choosing the right antimicrobial for the right indication is

critical in helping reduce the risk of surgical site infection for your patients

Sterile Surface
• Incise drapes provide a sterile surface to the wound edge
• Lock bacteria under the drape
• Antimicrobial incise drapes kill bacteria

Bacteria can be a resourceful traveler.
• Organisms that remain on the skin can potentially migrate into the surgical wound
© 3M 2011. All Rights Reserved.61
wound.
• Bacteria can be transferred to the wound through contact with instruments, gloves or sponges.
Drape Adhesion
• The adhesion of the incise drape is critical in maintain the adhesion of the drape to the would edge.
• One study showed that drape lift at the wound edge was associated with a 6-fold increase in SSI
© 3M 2011. All Rights Reserved.62
6-fold increase in SSI
• The choice of prep can play a significant role in drape adhesion.• Water insoluble preps will provide better drape adhesion than
water soluble preps.
Summary
• SSIs - second most common healthcare associated infection (HAI) among hospitalized patients
• These infections number approximately 500,000 per year, among an estimated 27 million surgical procedures, and account for approximately one quarter
© 3M 2011. All Rights Reserved.63
of the HAIs in the United States each year • Infections result in longer hospitalization and higher
costs • Bacteria from the patient’s own skin are often the cause
of surgical site infections
22
Summary
• Best practices for clipping, prepping and draping can help reduce skin bacteria and help reduce the risk of SSI
• Following manufacturers directions for use help ensure that products are applied and removed is a safe and
© 3M 2011. All Rights Reserved.64
effective manner• Patient safety should always be at the forefront of all we
do in caring for the surgical patient
