Skin disinfection and preparation play an important role in the prevention of surgical site infections (SSIs), as the first source of infection is microorganisms on the patient&#8217;s skin. The commensal skin flora includes many microorganisms with low pathogenicity, such as coagulase-negative Staphylococci and Corinebacteria, but also potentially pathogenic strains such as Staphylococcus aureus. The purpose of skin disinfection is to minimize the microbial load on the patient&#8217;s skin before incising the skin barrier to help limit the risk of SSIs. Evidence shows that to reduce SSIs, the use of alcohol-based antiseptic solutions for surgical site skin preparation is more effective than aqueous solutions. There is no evidence to perform intraoperative skin disinfection before suturing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5776,"template":"","meta":{"_wpv_contains_gutenberg_views":[""],"_layouts_template":["modello-per-raccomandazioni-professionista"],"_wp_page_template":["default"],"_wpml_word_count":["{\"total\":279,\"to_translate\":{\"it\":279}}"],"_edit_lock":["1673605858:2"],"_edit_last":["2"],"_thumbnail_id":["5776"],"_yoast_wpseo_primary_eta":["95"],"_yoast_wpseo_primary_disciplina":["126"],"_yoast_wpseo_primary_tipologia":["131"],"wpcf-pacchetto":["SIP #2"],"wpcf-bibliografia":["1.\tAgenzia Sanitaria e Sociale Regionale dell\u2019Emilia-Romagna.
