Risk factors for SSI after Knee Replacement Arthroplasty: scoping review
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.37914/riis.v8i1.404Keywords:
knee replacement arthroplasty, risk factors, surgical wound infectionAbstract
Background: the risk factors for surgical site infection (SSI) after Knee Replacement Arthroplasty have an impact on the safety and quality of life of the person in the perioperative situation and on increased costs for healthcare units. It appears that this topic is mostly studied in conjunction with the risk factors for SSI after hip arthroplasty. It is essential to approach it in isolation, to create risk identification tools that allow identifying the people most vulnerable to surgical site infections in this surgery. Objectives: to map the evidence on the risk factors for SSI in people undergoing Knee Replacement Arthroplasty. Methodology: scoping review guided by the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. Time limit applied from 2018 to 2024, based on a review identified on this topic. Results: 27 articles were included in the review, and modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors in the perioperative period were identified. The advanced skills of the specialist nurse to minimize/eliminate the risk of SSI are fundamental, especially in modifiable risk factors. Conclusion: risk factors are present in the perioperative period, some being intrinsic to the person themselves and others resulting from the practices of health professionals themselves, putting surgical safety at risk.
