Staphylococcus aureus nasal decolonization before cardiac and orthopaedic surgeries: first descriptive survey in France - 25/09/20

Summary |
The objective was to describe French hospital nasal screening and decolonization procedures before clean surgery procedures. Information for participants was sent to the French Society for Infection Control members in June 2018. Seventy hospitals participated in the survey; 40% (N = 28) declared having institutional decolonization procedures: 64% (N = 18) in orthopaedic and 56% (N = 15) in cardiac surgeries. All hospitals used mupirocin for nasal decolonization and body decolonization with chlorhexidine (N = 16) or povidone iodine (N = 10). This study is the first to be performed in France giving information in this field. Screening/decolonization procedures are heterogeneous and the evaluation of their clinical impact remains complex.
