AI Article Synopsis
- - Surgical site infection (SSI) prevention relies on a combination of strategies known as "bundles," which need to be fully implemented for effective results.
- - Using a human-factors engineering approach helps identify challenges and support systems for successfully applying these bundle elements in clinical settings.
- - Recommendations for implementing these bundles can be developed by analyzing and addressing the barriers and facilitators in the healthcare work environment.
Article Abstract
Surgical site infection (SSI) prevention requires multiple interventions packaged into "bundles." The implementation of all bundle elements is key to the bundle's efficacy. A human-factors engineering approach can be used to identify key barriers and facilitators to implementing elements and develop recommendations for bundle implementation within the clinical work system.

Impact of discontinuation of cephazolin prophylaxis on the incidence of postoperative adverse events in cataract surgery.
J Pharm Health Care Sci
January 2025
Department of Pharmacy, Kumamoto University Hospital, 1-1-1, Honjo, Chuo-ku, Kumamoto city, Kumamoto, 860-8556, Japan.
Background: Cataract surgeries are increasing annually, making appropriate medical management essential. The routine use of systemic antimicrobial agents for preventing surgical site infections lacks strong evidence and may increase the risk of drug-resistant bacteria and adverse events. This study examined the impact of discontinuing cefazolin (CEZ) administration during the perioperative period of cataract surgery on the incidence of postoperative adverse events and medical costs.

Department of Orthopedics, Jingzhou Hospital Affiliated to Yangtze University, Jingzhou Hubei, 434020, China.
Background: Although non-surgical and surgical approaches have been developed to repair acute closed Achilles tendon ruptures, the medical community still lacks a definitive consensus on which approach is superior. This study describes a new minimally invasive internal splinting technique combined with knotless anchors for the treatment of 22 patients with acute closed Achilles tendon rupture.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted involving 22 patients with acute closed Achilles tendon rupture who were treated with a minimally invasive internal splinting technique at Jingzhou Hospital of Yangtze University between January 2022 to October 2023.
