I choose Health-Associated Infections (HAI) because I work in Home Care and when I see post
op patients this is one of the issues that they experience ,specifically older adults.
It helps to remember the way that the PICO question is formulated .
Question: Does the use of pre-op antiseptic solutions to shower or bathing decrease hospital
acquired infections on surgical site within 30 days of procedure ?
Population: Postoperative patients
Intervention: Shower or bathing with antiseptic solution pre- op to for preventing hospital‐
acquired surgical site infections.
Comparison: Shower or bathing with non‐antiseptic solutions pre-op for preventing HAI on
surgical site.
Outcome: Reduction in surgical site infections
Time: within 30 days Post Op
This is important because according with The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
the infections reported post op are on the rise .
Hospital acquired infections (HAI) cause complications and sometimes patient’s death.
An estimation in 2009 states that with these infections ,hospital stay extends approx by 9.7
days and increased costs by $20,842 per admission ($900 millions ),not counting hospital costs
of more than $700 million for hospital readmission in health care spending.
