• Infection ≈ 1 % – 2-7% infection rate for replacement/upgrades1

– ≤ 0.5% infection rate for new implants1

• Malfunction ≈ 2.5 % – 1.65-20% annual ICD lead failure based on age2,3

Rising Rates of Cardiac Rhythm Management Device Infections in the United States: 1996 through 2006

A Voigt et al, PACE 2010; 33:414–419

…possible causes for this on-going epidemic include sicker patients and more complex procedures…

CIED implanted

Infections


Why?

•  Patients with more co-morbidities • �Sicker Patients�

•  Larger Devices • More ICDs

•  Longer implant time • Less experienced implanters • More complex devices

•  �Cathlab sterile technique� Division of Cardiovascular Diseases - University Hospital of Pisa (Italy)

CIED infection is a serious complication

associated with sustantial morbidity, mortality and costs.

CIED infection increases the risk of in-hospital death by more than 2

fold

• Before the implant

• During the implant

• After the implant



• Before the implant

• Avoid temporary pacing • Wait if fever or BS abnormal • Avoid Bridging • Scrub the patient • AB prophylaxis • Choose the right hardware • Operators, staff and OR asepsys

CIEDs Infections RISK FACTORS


Klug Circ 2007; 116 Division of Cardiovascular Diseases - University Hospital of Pisa (Italy)


Haeparin Bridging

Darouiche et al NEJM 2010

Which Antiseptic?

chlorhexidine–alcohol surgical prevent an estimated 40% of all

surgical-site infections


PACE 2012;00:1–13

For patients undergoing a CIED implant, perioperative systemic antibiotic (PSA) plus antiseptics delivered 1 hour

before the procedure significantly reduced the incidence of postoperative infection

META-ANALYSIS 15 studies (3.970 partecipants)


AHA/HRS 2010 Recommendations for Antimicrobial Prophylaxis at the time of CIED placement

Class I Prophylaxis with an antibiotic that has in vitro activity against staphylococci should be administered. - If cefazolin is selected for use, then it should be administered intravenously within 1 hour before incision; - if vancomycin is given, then it should be adminstered intravenously within 2 hours before incision. (Level of Evidence: A)

PREVENTION OF INFECTION



• During the implant

• Check time • Replacements • Prevent bleeding • Operators, staff and OR asepsys

• After the implant

• Avoid reintervention • Reduce replacements • AB prophylaxis
