Surgical Site Infections (SSIs) remain a major cause of prolonged hospital stay, readmissions, re-operations, and increased antimicrobial use. The postoperative phase is especially critical because wound healing is actively ongoing and the surgical site is vulnerable to contamination, dressing-related lapses, improper drain care, and delayed recognition of early infection signs.

Surgical Site Infections (SSIs) remain one of the most preventable yet impactful healthcare-associated infections, affecting patient outcomes, length of stay, antimicrobial use, and overall surgical quality indicators.

Surgical Site Infections (SSIs) remain one of the most preventable healthcare-associated infections when evidence-based preoperative practices are followed consistently. The preoperative phase is especially critical because it is the window where patient risk factors can be identified and optimized, microbial burden can be reduced, and standardized preparation steps can be ensured before the first incision.

Patients receiving hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis are at high risk of infection due to repeated vascular access, frequent healthcare contact, comorbidities, and potential breaches in aseptic technique during treatment.

Ventilator-Associated Events (VAE) in children—including infants and neonates—reflect clinically significant deterioration during mechanical ventilation and may be associated with infection, atelectasis, pulmonary edema, ventilator-related lung injury, or complications of sedation and fluid management.

Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) and Ventilator-Associated Events (VAE) represent major patient safety challenges in mechanically ventilated patients, particularly in critical care settings.

Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTIs) are among the most common healthcare-associated infections and are largely preventable with appropriate clinical practices. Indwelling urinary catheters, when used without clear indication or maintained improperly, significantly increase the risk of infection, patient discomfort, prolonged hospitalization, and antimicrobial overuse.

Central Line–Associated Bloodstream Infections (CLABSIs) are among the most serious and preventable healthcare-associated infections. 

Effective Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) is not complete without proper documentation and continuous auditing. Infection control records serve as legal evidence, support quality improvement, and ensure hospitals maintain high standards of patient safety.
