Surgical Site Infection (SSI)
Patient Skin is a major source of pathogens that cause Surgical Site Infection, optimization of preoperative skin antisepsis may decrease post operative infections. Surgical site infection occurs in 300,000 to 500,000 patients who undergo surgery in United States each year, since the patient’s skin is a major source of pathogens; it is conceivable that improving skin antisepsis would decrease surgical site infection.
