Infections of surgical sites have �? socio-professional and economic repercussions; they
prolong the length of hospital stay, delay the resumption of professional activity and
cause moral and financial damage, and even death. The objectives of this work were
to determine the prevalence of infections at surgical sites, to identify the antisepsis
and asepsis procedures used, to determine the associated factors, to list the types of
intervention carried out, to identify the mode of treatment.
Methods
We conducted a transversal at the Karina General Reference Hospital for a period of
three months, from May 10 to August 10, 2021. The observation technique supported by
a data collection grid, the structured interview technique supported by a questionnaire
and the documentary review were used for data collection. Results: Out of a total of 200
operated, the prevalence of surgical site infections was 51.00% versus 49.00% who were
free. 41.00% of infected wounds were superficial versus 10.00% which were deep. The
study noted that 66% of the operations carried out were scheduled. Compared to the
dressing, 59% of the wounds were soiled with the first dressing. Regarding the reason
for the operation, 29.00% of patients were operated on for appendicitis, 26.00% for pain
syndrome of the right iliac fossa. Quant at the interval between the operation and the
dressing, 42.00% of the dressings were made in the fourth. Sin 54 cases of appendectomy,
24 or 44.44% developed an infection of the surgical site against 55.56% (p = 0.3924).
50.00% of those operated on who developed SSI had at least one surgical history versus
51.72% who had developed at least one surgical site infection without having a preexisting
surgical history (P = 0.4367905875; OR: 0.9333; IC: [0.4062-2.1446].
Conclusion
Karina General Referral Hospital is among the DRC hospitals with the highest surgical
site infection rate. Surgical site infections are a real public health problem; the ministry
of health and hospital managers must take adequate preventive measures that can help
limit the disaster.
