Berríos-Torres SI, Umscheid CA, Bratzler DW, Leas B, Stone EC, Kelz RR, Reinke CE, Morgan S, Solomkin JS, Mazuski JE, Dellinger EP. Centers for disease control and prevention guideline for the prevention of surgical site infection, 2017. JA sur. 2017;152(8):784-91.
The cost of treating surgical site infections and the number of surgical procedures is increasing. These are associated with complex comorbidities. This paper provides not only a new but also updated evidence-based recommendations for preventing surgical site infections. It used the grading of recommendations, Assessment, development, and evaluation (GRADE) technique to assess the strength of recommendation and the quality of evidence and to provide the relationship between the two. The guideline is intended to provide an updated and a shred of new evidence based recommendations for preventing surgical site infections and incorporate it into quality improvement programs with the view to improve patient safety. The paper explains the proper ways to carry out various surgical operations such as cesarean procedures, skin preparation, surgical incision, and other surgical operations.
