Positive microscopy findings should be confirmed with a culture for antimicrobial sensitivities in the perioperative setting where the risk of an SSI is high and targeted antimicrobial treatment may be required. Microscopy positive for pyuria and/or bacteriuria on a catheterized urine sample for microscopy or positive cultures >10 3 CFU/mL of common or expected uropathogens are highly predictive of infection but do not discriminate from colonization.

Therapeutic Guidelines 56 As groin, and presumably perineal incisions, may confer an increased risk of SSI, single-dose AP may be considered for these cases. Clin Microbiol Infect 2016; 22: 732.e1. 152 First, it is not common urologic practice to provide any antifungal coverage for routine stent exchange in the setting of asymptomatic funguria due to the understanding that these microscopy and culture findings are most consistent with colonization of a foreign body. A randomized multicentre controlled trial. 1,12,43. While most bacteria possess the capacity to cause disease, the ability to do so (pathogenicity) varies by organism and its speciation. Surgical Infection Society Guidelines for Antibiotic Use in Eur Urol 2014; 65: 839. J Urol 2012; 188: 1801. Currently, no widely accessible registry base exists for these SSI that occur in the outpatient setting, unless secondarily reported with major complications such as requiring a return to the operating room. Pop-Vicas A, Musuuza JS, Schmitz M, et al: Incidence and risk factors for surgical site infection post-hysterectomy in a tertiary care center. J Trauma Acute Care Surg 2012; 73: 452. Prostate biopsy and periprocedural management of stones were likewise excluded; however, relevant guideline recommendations and white paper statements current at the time of this publication are included and referenced. Smaill FM and Grivell RM: Antibiotic prophylaxis versus no prophylaxis for preventing infection after cesarean section. Within urologic practice, transrectal prostate biopsy may still require consideration of fluoroquinolone AP in some centers and in some clinical conditions. Am J Health Syst Pharm 2013;70:195. 9 Such concerns are magnified by the urgent need for enhanced antimicrobial stewardship worldwide wherein antimicrobials are rapidly diminishing in their coverage for common pathogens, and where adverse event risk reduction is paramount. For cutaneous incisions where a prosthetic device is planned, coverage for skin flora including streptococci is warranted. Furthermore, there is moderate-quality evidence from multiple RCTs that do not show a benefit of prolonging AP beyond the case completion, 41 and, according to a World Health Organization (WHO) systematic review, the benefit of intraoperative coverage is undetermined at this time. Hepatobiliary Surg Nutr. 24 AP in these higher-risk settings would be trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Particularly in the setting of implanted prosthetic devices, it is important to limit traffic in the operating room. Immunosuppression is a well-known risk for developing infectious complications. Clean-contaminated areas, those involving GI, respiratory, genital, or urinary tracts under controlled conditions and without unusual contamination, pose a more significant risk. Adult Outpatient Treatment Recommendations 95 With major urologic oncologic surgery, 24% of radical cystectomy patients are reported to have developed either a SSI, sepsis, or UTI with operative times greater than or equal to 480 minutes, the strongest independent risk factor. Standardized definitions for SSI, sepsis, and post-procedural UTI (see Table III) should be used for reporting by the surgeon, who is the most accurate observer of the wound class and of any subsequent infectious complications. Lancet Infect Dis 2016; 16: e288. Krasnow RE, Mossanen M, Koo S, et al: Prophylactic antibiotics and postoperative complications for radical cystectomy: a population based analysis in the united states. For example, while compliance with AP measures enumerated in The Surgical Infection Prevention and Surgical Care Improvement Projects: National Initiatives to Improve Outcomes for Patients Having Surgery12,13 reduced the SSI risk by 18%, 14 increasing compliance with this measure alone did not closely correlate with the resulting decreases in infectious complications rates. Cai T, Verze P, Palmieri A, et al: Is preoperative assessment and treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria necessary for reducing the risk of postoperative symptomatic urinary tract infections after urologic surgical procedures? The Surgical Infection Prevention Project (SIPP) or Surgical Care Improvement Programme (SCIP) was initiated in 2002 as a joint venture between the centers for Surg Infect 2015; 16: 595. Anesth Pain Med 2013; 2: 174. For higher-risk procedures entering the GI tract, coverage of common gram-negative urogenital flora should be administered. Therapeutic position statements are concise responses to specific therapeutic issues, and therapeutic guidelines are thorough, evidence-based recommendations on drug use. J Bone Joint Surg Am 2015; 97: 979. The reported risks of a periprocedural infectious complication for Class II/clean-contaminated GU procedures range considerably even with appropriate AP covering the most likely pathogens, and underscore the variability of procedural-specific risk of SSI. Can Urol Assoc J 2013; 7: E530. Despite the availability of a comprehensive guideline outlining AP for general surgical procedures (revised in 2017) 1 and the American Urological Association (AUA) Best Practice Statement (BPS) Urologic Surgery Antimicrobial Prophylaxis (published in 2008 and reviewed in 2011), 2 tremendous variability in clinical practice persists, with known variation from hospital to hospital and provider to provider. The latest guidelines for prophylactic antibiotics from the ASHP provide important updates such as initiation of antibiotics within 60 minutes of incision instead of Core Elements The recommended dose of fluconazole is 400 mg (6 mg/kg) orally daily, and amphotericin B deoxycholate is 0.30.6 mg/kg intravenously daily. 15 It is known that the achievement of therapeutic levels of cefazolin and cefepime are significantly delayed in the morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery. As the patient's skin flora, gram-positive organisms and staphylococcal species in particular, is a major source of SSI procedures involving skin incision, patients should shower or bathe (full body) with soap (antimicrobial or non-antimicrobial) or an antiseptic agent on at least the night before the operative day. 2017. 49 While no surgical study has evaluated the resultant MDR patterns emerging from single-dose AP compared with no antimicrobials, the use of prolonged antibiotic prophylaxis (>48 hours post-incision) has been significantly associated with an increased risk of acquiring antibiotic-resistance, while conferring no decrease in SSI. Rich BS, Keel R, Ho VP, et al: Cefepime dosing in the morbidly obese patient population. J Urol 2016; 195: 931. SURGICAL ANTIMICROBIAL PROPHYLAXIS J Infect Chemother 2014; 20:186.

Facilities Guidelines Institutes (FGI) or American Institute of Architects (AIA) criteria for an operating room when it was constructed or renovated 10. For clean and clean-contaminated procedures, additional prophylactic antimicrobial agent doses should not be administered after the surgical incision is closed in the operating room, even in the presence of a drain. Radical prostatectomy confers an intermediate risk, whereas the literature supports that transurethral prostate procedures confer a high risk of SSI without appropriate AP. Cam et al. Mayne AIW, Davies PSE, and Simpson JM: Antibiotic treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria prior to hip and knee arthroplasty; a systematic review of the literature. WebPerformance measures are essential to the credibility of any health care organization and are required of an accredited or certified organization. Selective use of AP for higher-risk individuals is encouraged. J Surg Res 2017; 215:132. 105. This is accomplished by scrubbing and/or painting with antiseptic solutions. There are modifiable perioperative factors affecting SSI risk, which include the avoidance of hypothermia, blood glucose control, preoperative bathing and skin preparation, and sterile technique. Kijima T, Masuda H, Yoshida S, et al: Antimicrobial prophylaxis is not necessary in clean category minimally invasive surgery for renal and adrenal tumors: a prospective study of 373 consecutive patients. 55 Recent modifications to the NNIS risk index include a history of preoperative chemotherapy (OR=1.94), or groin incisions (OR=4.65). We recommend a maximum of four days of antibiotic agents, and perhaps a shorter duration in patients undergoing cholecystectomy for severe (Tokyo Guidelines grade III) cholecystitis. As examples, if purulence is discovered at the time of a routine stent exchange, then cultures should be obtained and the antimicrobial agent(s) continued until the culture results are known. Harbarth S, Samore MH, Lichtenberg D, et al: Prolonged antibiotic prophylaxis after cardiovascular surgery and its effect on surgical site infections and antimicrobial resistance. In patients with nephrostomy tubes or stents, if clearance of candiduria is the goal, relief of the obstruction to allow removal of the nephrostomy tube or stent is preferred whenever possible to reduce the biofilm and recolonization of the urine.

For this reason, nitrofurantoin is a poor agent for AP due to low tissue concentrations, although it is highly concentrated in the urine. The first step is to create as clean an environment as possible. The duration and dosing of therapy is mandated by that changed indication for treatment, and not simpler prophylaxis. Neutropenic patients are at risk for bacterial sepsis from both gram-positive and gram-negative organisms, especially Pseudomonas species. Prevention of clostridium difficile infection: a systematic survey of clinical practice guidelines. Clin Exp Allergy 2015; 45: 300. As nephrotoxicity is common in patients receiving amphotericin beyond a single dose of prophylaxis, creatinine, potassium, and magnesium need to be closely monitored for those requiring repeated dosing. Microorganisms 2017; 5: E19. Class II/clean-contaminated urologic procedures are not categorized by SSI risk but by broad wound class definitions. Nicolle LE: Asymptomatic bacteriuria. Risk classification herein is dependent on the likelihood of SSI, not the associated consequences of an SSI. Mirakian R, Leech SC, Krishna MT, et al: Management of allergy to penicillins and other beta-lactams. Am J Surg 2014; 208: 835. Based on the AUA Guideline on the Surgical Management of Stones, 62,63 AP should be administered prior to stone intervention for ureteroscopic stone removal, PCNL, open and laparoscopic/robotic stone surgery, using a single dose. Applies to all ADULT patients (18 years or over). Since 2006, the Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) has promoted 3 perioperative antibiotic recommendations designed to reduce the incidence of surgical site infections. The IDSA updated their Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Candidiasis in 2016, and strongly recommended that patients with candiduria undergoing any urologic procedure be treated with either oral fluconazole or intravenous amphotericin B deoxycholate for several days before and after the procedure. Gross MS, Phillips EA, Carrasquillo RJ, et al: Multicenter investigation of the micro-organisms involved in penile prosthesis infection: an analysis of the efficacy of the AUA and EAU guidelines for penile prosthesis prophylaxis.

Wolters HH, Palmes D, Lordugin E, et al: Antibiotic prophylaxis at urinary catheter removal prevents urinary tract infection after kidney transplantation. Consequently, their use as first-line treatment of uncomplicated cystitis is discouraged; use of such agents should be reserved for serious bacterial infections where the benefits outweigh the risks. Implicit in risk reduction is the understanding of the baseline risk. Liu LH, Wang NY, Wu AY, et al: Citrobacter freundii bacteremia: risk factors of mortality and prevalence of resistance genes. While wound closure techniques, 40 timing of showers, and dressing removal do not appear to impact the risk of SSI, the urgency and complexity of the surgical procedure and any associated breaks in infection-control protocols 15 do change the risk. WebSince 2006, the Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) has promoted 3 perioperative antibiotic recommendations designed to reduce the incidence of surgical site infections. The systematic review found no high-level evidence with which to answer the question. 34, The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued multiple Boxed Warnings regarding serious musculoskeletal, peripheral neuropathy, mental health, and most recently, hypoglycemic coma treatment-emergent adverse effects (TEAE) due to fluoroquinolones. 71 For surgical procedures including unobstructed small bowel, patients should receive a first-generation cephalosporin (cefazolin) as the upper GI tract flora is relatively sparse and intense colonization unusual in the healthy individual. 74, Preoperative mechanical bowel preparation and oral antibiotics for colorectal procedures is recommended (based on moderate-quality evidence from 1990 through 2015) by the WHO, 75 consistent with most urologic practices using colorectal segments22 and associated with reduced complication rates. Performance Measurement | The Joint Commission The WHO considers a conditional (moderate) recommendation for mechanical bowel preparation and oral antimicrobials prior to colorectal procedures, 75 consistent with most urologic practices using colorectal segments. Unauthorized use of these marks is strictly prohibited. Of the -lactams antibiotics, extended-spectrum penicillins and amoxicillin are widely used for AP for gram-negative rod (GNR) coverage. While this reclassification from Class I/clean to Class II/clean-contaminated would not change the duration of AP and may not necessitate the addition of another antimicrobial agent, the change in the surgical wound classification will improve accurate reporting and monitoring of SSI. SCIP Lamagni T, Elgohari S, and Harrington P: Trends in surgical site infections following orthopaedic surgery. However, single-dose treatment of ASB is recommended in pregnant females since they are a high-risk population. Clin Infect Dis 1993; 17: 662. Instrumentation of the GU tract in the setting of an active infection should be delayed, if possible and clinically appropriate, until the results of cultures and sensitivities are available. Clin Infect Dis 1994; 15: 182. 23 The use of small bowel segments for diversion does not necessitate a bowel prep. Accordingly, this BPS included patient risk factors (who); diagnostic and treatment-associated urologic procedures, GU surgery, and prosthetics (what and where); as well as AP timing, re-dosing, and duration (when) in the search criteria. J Am Coll Surg 2016; 222: 431. Colonization, as well as accompanying pyuria, is expected for those with long-term indwelling urinary catheters, or those who have had diversions or augmentative procedures involving bowel segments. still inhibited by penicillins; however, aminoglycosides and cephalosporins are also appropriate for most GU cases requiring AP.

This patient population is at high risk of fungemia, with a higher likelihood of morbidity and mortality if targeted antifungals are not used at the time of relief of obstruction. Additional anaerobic coverage provided by metronidazole and an antifungal such as fluconazole may also be considered for vaginal cases, particularly for high-risk patients.
