Surgical site infections (SSI) are a major postoperative concern for all members of the surgical team. The incidence of postoperative SSIs varies from facility to facility, from surgeon to surgeon, and more importantly, from patient to patient. The perioperative nurse plays a critical role by implementing effective infection prevention strategies throughout the patient’s surgical journey. An equally important nursing activity is assessing individual patient factors that may increase the patient’s risk of a surgical site infection and planning appropriate interventions to reduce the risk. In this educational program, patient risk factors for SSI and risk reduction strategies will be addressed.
