The Case for Improvement
• 327,000 total hip (THA) and
676,000 total knee (TKA)
arthroplasties are performed
annually in the US
• Projected increase of 572,000
THA ( 174%) and 3.48 million
TKA ( 673%) through 2030
• Infection rates currently at
1.5% for THA and 1.2% for TKA

What is Project JOINTS?
An initiative funded by the federal government to give
participants support from IHI in the form of in-person and
virtual coaching on how to test, implement and spread
the enhanced SSI prevention Bundle comprised of three
new Evidence-based Practices as well as the two
applicable Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP)
practices.
Two cohorts of 5 states with a 6 month intervention period. (May 2011-October 2012)
Support & Contributions
American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS/Academy)
– "The JOINTS project is a remarkable endeavor and the
Academy looks forward to working with you to accomplish the goal of eliminating preventable SSIs."
AORN Hospitals already engaged in the "new" interventions.
Offer implementation support to participants on the recommended interventions to reduce prevent hip and knee SSIs

SSI Prevention For Hip and Knee Arthroplasty
New Practices:
– Use of an alcohol-containing antiseptic agent for pre-op
– Pre-op bathing or showering with chlorhexidine gluconate
(CHG) soap for at least 3 days prior to surgery
– Staph aureus screening and use of intranasal mupirocin
and CHG bathing or showering to decolonize staph aureus carriers
Applicable SCIP practices:
– Appropriate use of prophylactic antibiotics – Appropriate hair removal
#1: Use an alcohol-containing antiseptic agent for preoperative skin preparation
Use an alcohol-containing antiseptic
agent for preoperative skin preparation
Adequate preoperative skin preparation to prevent entry of skin flora into the surgical incision is an important basic infection prevention practice. Preoperative skin preparation of the operative site involves use of an antiseptic agent with long-acting antimicrobial activity, such as chlorhexidine and iodophors. Two types of preoperative skin preparations that combine alcohol (which has an immediate and dramatic killing effect on skin bacteria) with long-acting antimicrobial agents appear to be more effective at preventing SSI than povidone-iodine (an iodophor) alone:
–CHG plus alcohol – Iodophor plus alcohol
Cochrane Systematic Review 2009: Does Pre-Operative Skin Antisepsis Prevent SSI?
CHG vs. PI (Berry 1982): Higher SSI rate with PI PI vs. iodophor-alcohol (2 studies): No significant difference Single vs. multiple-step application (4 studies): No significant difference Iodophor-impregnated drapes vs. regular drapes (4 studies): No significant difference Conclusion: Insufficient evidence to support recommending the use of one antiseptic agent over another
Use an alcohol-containing antiseptic agent
for preoperative skin preparation
Behavioral Objective: Change the operating room skin prep for hip and
knee arthroplasty to a long-acting antiseptic agent in combination with alcohol.
Assess your current process and potential barriers:
Identify surgeons currently using an alcohol-based skin prep to champion the change in practice with their peers.
Determine the high-volume surgeons and focus your efforts on working with them.
Conduct brief interviews with representative surgeons to identify any misconceptions or key barriers to using an alcohol-based skin prep.
Provide a brief summary of the scientific evidence supporting change to an alcohol-containing skin prep to influence change of habit/tradition.
#2 Pre-op bathing or showering with
chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) soap
for at least 3 days prior to surgery
Why consider preoperative CHG bathing or showering to prevent SSIs?
Topical chlorhexidine significantly reduces bacterial counts on skin and has a residual antimicrobial effect
– Impacts a broad range of potential pathogens – Low risk of skin reactions
There is progressive reduction in counts when used serially up to 3 times preoperatively
– Hayek J Hosp Infect 1987 – Kaiser Ann Thor Surg 1988 – Garibaldi J Hosp Infect 1988, – Paulson AJIC 1993
•Effectiveness of CHG washes depends mainly on the residual antimicrobial effect, which is increasingly effective the more consecutive days it is used
•At least 3 consecutive washes are needed to keep skin flora lower than baseline through a 24-hour period
Paulson DS. Efficacy evaluation of a 4% chlorhexidine gluconate as a full-body wash. Am J Infect Control
1993;21:205-209.
Why is this recommendation controversial?
Cochrane Systematic Review 2011: no clear evidence based on RCTs that preop bathing with CHG reduces the incidence of SSI
Studies had many limitations:
– Variable SSI definitions and follow-up – No monitoring of compliance with CHG use – Most used only 1 or 2 applications of CHG soap
May need repeated applications (i.e., showering
with CHG at least 3 times prior to surgery)
Ask patients to bathe or shower with chlorehexidine
gluconate (CHG) for at least 3 days prior to surgery
Behavioral Objective: Provide patients with chlorhexidine soap, and
have them use the soap in bathing or showering for at least three days before surgery.
Assess your current process and potential barriers:
Assess where most preoperative assessments take place
Assess current preoperative communication between the hospital OR department and the offices of orthropaedic surgeons inside and outside the hospital.
Tailor the implementation process to your setting
Develop a process flow diagram to define all components of the process
#3:Screen patients for Staphylococcus aureus (SA) carriage and decolonize SA carriers with 5 days of intranasal mupirocin and at least 3 days of CHG soap prior to surgery
Why Worry About Staph Aureus Nasal Carriage?
Staphylococcus aureus nasal colonization predisposes patients to invasive S. aureus infections
– Nasal carriage of S. aureus is associated with a
relative risk of 7.1 for developing SSI (Kluytmans J Infect Dis 1995)
– Most cases of invasive S. aureus infection are
due to endogenous strains (Von Eiff NEJM 2001, Huang CID 2008)
Does Using Mupirocin Eradicate S. Aureus Nasal Carriage?
Systematic review (Ammerlaan HS, et al. CID 2009): 8 studies comparing mupirocin to placebo
– Short-term nasal mupirocin (4-7 days) was an
effective method for S. aureus eradication
– 90% success at one week, 60% at longer (14-365
– 1% develop mupirocin resistance
Does Using Mupirocin Prevent SSIs?
Meta-analysis (Kallen ICHE 2005):
– 3 randomized and 4 before-after trials – Conclusion: Mupirocin use was associated with a
small reduction in SSI rates for non-general surgery (cardiothoracic, orthopedic, neurosurgery: 6.0% vs. 7.6%) but not for general surgery
Does Using Mupirocin Prevent SSIs?
Systematic review (van Rijen JAC 2008): Included 4 randomized controlled studies
– Conclusion: Mupirocin use was associated with a
significant reduction in S. aureus postoperative infection rates among S. aureus carriers (RR 0.55, 95% CI 0.34-0.89)
Randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled multicenter study of 6,771 patients in the Netherlands (Bode NEJM 2010) Rapid screening for MSSA/MRSA on admission Carriers randomized to mupirocin/CHG soap vs. placebo/bland soap x 5 days
(Continued) Bode NEJM 2010
Results: CHG bathing + mupirocin group had significantly lower SSI rates than the placebo group
Conclusion: Preoperative identification of S. aureus carriers followed by 5 days of intranasal mupirocin plus CHG bathing reduced S. aureus SSIs by 60%

Screen patients and Decolonize SA carriers w/5
days intranasal mupirocin & 3 days CHG
Behavioral Objective: Screen all patients for Staphylococcus aureus
prior to surgery, allowing enough time for those who screen positive to be decolonized with five days of intranasal mupirocin.
Assess your current process and potential barriers:
Assess where most preoperative assessments take place
Tailor the intervention to the setting in which preoperative assessment is done
Work with Lab to assure screening includes both MRSA and MSSA
Develop a process to assure info on screening and decolonization is available at the time of surgery
Develop a process flow diagram to define components of the process
