Background: In this study, the effect of perioperative blood transfusion on infectious complications in patients undergoing curative surgery for gastric adenocarcinoma was investigated.Methods: The clinicopathological results of 312 patients who underwent curative gastrectomy were retrospectively analyzed. The effect of blood transfusion on the development of postoperative infectious complications were statistically analyzed.Results: In the subgroup of patients with intraoperative transfusion, surgical site infection incidence was found to be significantly higher in patient with 2U above ES transfusions. (p=0.014). In the subgroup of patients with postoperative transfusion, hospital stay (p<0.001), postoperative CRP values (p<0.001), surgical site infection incidence (p=0.049) and anastomosis leakage incidence (p<0.001) were found to be significantly higher in patient with 2U above ES transfusions. In the subgroup of patients with both intraoperative and postoperative transfusion, SSI, anastomotic leakage and any infective complication incidences were found to be significantly higher in patients with 2U and above transfusions. In multivariate analysis, age (p=0.015), BMI (p=0.011), intraoperative transfusion (p=0.011) and both intraoperative and postoperative transfusion (p=0.045) were found to be independent risk factors for infective complications.Conclusions: It was found that performing peroperative ES transfusion is associated with increased rates of infectious complications in patients undergoing curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer by causing immunomodulation.

This study aimed to identify risk factors associated with surgical site infections in orthopedic surgical patients at a public hospital in Minas Gerais, Brazil, between 2005 and 2007. A historical cohort of 3,543 patients submitted to orthopedic surgical procedures. A descriptive analysis was conducted and surgical site infection incidence rates were estimated. To verify the association between infection and risk factors, the Chi-square Test was used. The strength of association of the event with the independent variables was estimated using Relative Risk, with a 95% confidence interval and p<0.05. The incidence of surgical site infection was 1.8%. Potential surgical wound contamination, clinical conditions, time and type of surgical procedure were statistically associated with infection. Identifying the association between surgical site infection and these risk factors is important and contributes to nurses’ clinical practice.

The Surgical Site Infection (SSI) has been pointed as one of the most important infection sites. This study aimed to determine the surgical site infection incidence during hospitalization and the impact of notification after discharge through two methods. This prospective study was carried out in the digestive system surgery service (DSS) of two general hospitals of São Paulo, in the period from August, 2001 to March, 2002. Incidence levels of 6.7% and 4.5% were notified in the institutions A and B respectively. The incidence of SSI after discharge in the institution A was 27% and 13.4% in the institution B. Surveillance after discharge evidenced global rates of 33.7% and 17.9% for institutions A and B respectively. The rates of infection increased 5.02 and 3.98 times respectively in institutions A and B.
