Prevenção de Infecção de Sítio Cirúrgico: boas práticas que fazem a diferença

Discover how to reduce surgical site infections through integrated processes, water and air control, and the strategic role of the Infection Control Committee in care. 🚨 SuperAction | CCIH+ TV 🚨 📅 Tuesday | 03/24 ⏰ 8 PM | Live on YouTube 👩‍🏫 Guest Professor: Ariadne Schimidt 🎙️ Moderation: Professor Tadeu Fernandes and Nurse Karine Oliveira 📌 Topic: Prevention of Surgical Site Infection: good practices that make a difference 🔎 We will discuss: ✔️ Main risk factors for surgical site infection (SSI) ✔️ Essential good practices in the pre-, intra- and post-operative periods ✔️ Role of the surgical center in reducing infectious events ✔️ Indicators and monitoring of SSI in routine services ✔️ Frequent errors that still compromise results ✔️ Integration between the Surgical Center, Central Sterile Supply Department, Infection Control Committee and Patient Safety Center 🎓 With certificate of participation ✨ A sample of the technical-scientific methodology of the Instituto CCIH+ courses 👉 Update Essential for those working in surgical centers, Central Sterile Supply Departments (CSSDs), Infection Control Committees (ICSIs), and patient safety. Content Summary The video addresses Surgical Site Infection (SSI) Prevention, going far beyond the traditional "bundle" of measures. The discussion focuses on the role of the infection control specialist as an agent present in direct care, and not just in spreadsheets. Essential behind-the-scenes aspects for patient safety are detailed, such as rigorous control of water and air quality in the operating room, as well as the management of technologies like robotics. The presentation emphasizes the importance of the interface between the Infection Control Committee and the Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD), highlighting that failures in instrument processing are critical causes of adverse events. The content concludes by reinforcing that artificial intelligence should be an ally in data collection and post-discharge search, but that decision-making and safety culture remain dependent on the human factor and medical leadership.
