Study examined the Incidence of Hypothermia in abdominal surgeries under Perioperative Standard Thermal Management and its effect on SSI. A definitive baseline assessment is necessary to gauge progress. Having nurses aware of indications led to greater advocacy for catheter removal.

Presentation Number 4-040 Incidence of Hypothermia under Perioperative Standard Thermal Management in Patients With Abdominal Surgery and Its Effect on Surgical Site Infections Toshie Tsuchida RN, PhD, Associate Professor, Hyogo University of Health Sciences; Ms. Kaoru Ichiki, Infection Control Professional, Head Nurse, Hyogo college of Medicine Hospital; Yoshio Takesue, Chief Professor, Hyogo College of Medicine; Ms. Yoko Fujimoto, Head Nurse, Hyogo college of Medicine Hospital Background/Objectives: Perioperative thermal management has been routinely performed to prevent hypothermia induced adverse events including surgical site infections (SSIs). This study aimed to examine the incidence of hypothermia in abdominal surgeries under perioperative standard thermal management and its effect on SSI. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving patients who underwent liver (BILI-H), pancreatic (BILI-P), esoph- ageal (ESOP), gastric (GAST), colon (COLN) and rectal (REC) surgery within the period from January to December 2010. Perioperative thermal management was performed using a forced-air warming system in all cases. The following data were collected: the lowest perioperative rectal temperature (pharyngeal temperature in patients undergoing colorectal surgery); 5 patient-related charac- teristics; 5 surgical procedure-related characteristics; and 5 SSI- related items. Analysis was performed by calculating: 1) the incidence of each stratied level of hypothermia (mild; 36.0-35.6 degrees C; moderate; 35.5-35.1; and severe; 35.0 or lower) and odds ratios (OR) for risk factors of hypothermia. 2) risk ratios (RR) for SSI risk factors, including hypothermia (36.0 degrees C or lower, 35.5 or lower). SSI was diagnosed based on the criteria dened by the National Healthcare Safety Network. Results: A total of 632 patients (BILI-H: 81; BILI-P: 46; ESOP: 24; GAST: 133; COLN: 134; and REC: 196) were studied. The incidence of each level of hypothermia was as follows: mild 151 patients (24%); moderate 54 patients (9%); and severe 9 patients (1%). The RR for each cause of hypothermia with a body temperature of 36.0 degrees C or lower was as follows: thoracolaparotomy 1.84 (95% Condence Intervals: 1.22-2.76); lithotomy position: 1.28 (1.14- 1.44); males: 1.55(1.20-1.99); a Body Mass Index (BMI) lower than 18.5: 1.42(1.19-1.70); stoma:1.20 (1.03-1.39, P0.01) and anemia: 1.13 (1.01-1.26, p0.038). In multivariate analysis, thoracolapar- otomy (OR 4.27, 95%CI 2.01-9.07), lithotomy position (1.97, 1.37- 2.83). BMI lower than 18.5 (2.52, 1.67-3.84), males (1.98, 1.35-2.91) were selected as risk factors for hypothermia with a body temperature of 36.0 or lower. The perioperative body temperature was not correlated with the bleeding volume, duration of surgery, and transfusion volume. The incidence of SSIs was 21% (BILI-H: 16%; BILI-P: 37%; ESOP: 37%; GAST: 14%: COLN: 15%; and REC: 25%). Signicant risk factors for SSIs were as follows: contaminated wounds (1.60, 1.05-2.43); emergency surgery (1.27, 0.98-1.64); and stoma construction (1.16, 1.05-1.29). Hypothermia (36.0 or lower, 35.5 or lower) was not selected as a signicant risk factor for SSIs [1.02 (0.94-1.12), and 0.99 (0.87-1.13), respectively]. Conclusions: The incidence of hypothermia in abdominal surgeries was 34%, and was inuenced by combined thoracotomy, the sex, surgical position, and body weight; however, the occurrence of severe hypothermia was rare, and most of patients were included mild to moderate hypothermia. Hypothermia in such a condition did not appear to be a risk factor for SSI. Presentation Number 4-041 Vascular Access Associated Blood Stream Infections in Patients Undergoing Plasmapheresis Compared With Those in Patients With Hemodialysis Kaoru Ichiki, Certied Nurse in Infeion Control - Head Nurse, Division of Infection Conrol and Prevention Hyogo College of Medicine; Dr. Toshie Tsuchida, Associate Professor, Hyogo University of Health Sciences; Yoshio Takesue, Chief Professor, Hyogo College of Medicine; Dr. Nakajima Kazuhiko, Lecturer, Hyogo College of Medicine; Mr. Ueda Takashi, pharmacist, Division of infection control and prevention Hyogo Cllege of Medicine Background/Objectives: Vascular access associated blood stream infections (VABSI) underwent hemopurication have been mainly studied on hemodialysis (HD). Hemopurication therapy is, also applied to patients with plasmapheresis (PP). This study aimed to examine the incidence of VABSI on PPand investigated risk factors affecting it. Methods: Patients who underwent PP and HD with vascular access catheters between January 2007 and September 2011 were eligible for the study. Blood stream infections were diagnosed based on the criteria dened by the National Nosocomial Infec- tions Surveillance (including clinical sepsis) and National Health- care Safety Network. Analysis was performed by calculating the incidence of VABSI on HD and PP. The risk factors affecting VABSI on PP were specied using univariate and multivariate analysis among 20 factors including nine host factors, six catheter related factors and 5 other factors (activity on daily living, incontinence, sanitary conditions, capacity to understand, skin lesion at the insertion site). Results: Two hundred seventeen patients with HD and 62 patients with PP were observed. Mean number of hemopurication therapy were 5.64.2 on HD and 4.82.4 on PP. Primary diseases under- went PP were as follows: Multiple sclerosis 32 patients, Myasthenia gravis 9 patients, Chronic inammatory demyelinating poly- radiculoneuropathy 8 patients, Lambert-Eaton myasthenic sym- drome and bullous pemphigoid 4 patients. The incidence of VABSI was 8.8% (6.29/1,000 device-day) on HD, 14.5% (9.2/1,000 device- day) on PP (P0.18 and P0.10). The Odds ratio of PP for cause of VABSI was 0.82 (95%CI; 0.58-1.15; P0.24). PP was not an inde- pendent risk factor of VABSI in patients with hemopurication. Variables that achieved statistical signicance in the univariate analysis for cause of VABSI in patients with PP were follows: emergent insertion of vascular access, steroid pulse therapy and patients with poor hygiene. In multivariate analysis, emergency insertion was identied as the only independent risk factor of VABSI on PP. Conclusions: There was no signicant difference in the incidence of VABSI in patients with HD and PP. Further study is required to conclude the difference among the patients with hemopurication therapy. Emergency insertion was the risk factor affecting VABSI on PP.
