Barriers and facilitators for surgical site infection surveillance for adult cardiac surgery in a high-income setting: an in-depth exploration (2023)
Journal Article
Tanner, J., Brierley Jones, L., Rochon, M., Westwood, N., Wloch, C., Vaja, R., …Harrington, P. (2023). Barriers and facilitators for surgical site infection surveillance for adult cardiac surgery in a high-income setting: an in-depth exploration. Journal of Hospital Infection, 141, 112-118. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhin.2023.08.023

Background Surgical site infection (SSI) surveillance aims to facilitate a reduction in SSIs through identifying infection rates, benchmarking, triggering clinical review and instituting infection control measures. Participation in surveillance is,... Read More about Barriers and facilitators for surgical site infection surveillance for adult cardiac surgery in a high-income setting: an in-depth exploration.

Image-based digital post-discharge surveillance in England: measuring patient enrolment, engagement, clinician response times, surgical site infection, and carbon footprint (2023)
Journal Article
Rochon, M., Jawarchan, A., Fagan, F., Otter, J., & Tanner, J. (2023). Image-based digital post-discharge surveillance in England: measuring patient enrolment, engagement, clinician response times, surgical site infection, and carbon footprint. Journal of Hospital Infection, 133, 15-22. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhin.2023.01.001

Background: Surgical site infections (SSIs) can have a significant impact on patients, their families and healthcare providers. With shortening inpatient periods, the post-discharge element of surveillance is becoming increasingly important. Proactiv...

Effects of Intensive Blood Glucose Control on Surgical Site Infection for Liver Transplant Recipients: A Randomized Controlled Trial (2022)
Journal Article
Oliveira, R. A., Tanner, J., Mancero, J. M. P., & de Brito Poveda, V. (2023). Effects of Intensive Blood Glucose Control on Surgical Site Infection for Liver Transplant Recipients: A Randomized Controlled Trial. Transplantation Proceedings, 55(1), 170-177. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.transproceed.2022.10.062

Background: The evidence supporting intensive blood glucose control to prevent surgical site infections (SSIs) among liver transplant recipients is insufficient. We aimed to assess the effects of postoperative intensive blood glucose control (IBGC) a...

Pre-operative hair removal to reduce surgical site infection (2021)
Journal Article
Tanner, J., & Moncaster, K. (2021). Pre-operative hair removal to reduce surgical site infection. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2021(8), Article CD004122. https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.cd004122

Background Hair has traditionally been removed from the surgical site before surgery; however, some studies claim that this increases surgical site infections (SSIs) and should be avoided. This is the second update of a review published in 2006 and... Read More about Pre-operative hair removal to reduce surgical site infection.

Using a comprehensive audit to identify local context prior to care bundle design and implementation for inadvertent perioperative hypothermia in colorectal surgery (2021)
Journal Article
Tanner, J., Timmons, S., Bayston, R., Adams, K., & Baxendale, B. (2021). Using a comprehensive audit to identify local context prior to care bundle design and implementation for inadvertent perioperative hypothermia in colorectal surgery. BMJ Open Quality, 10(1), Article e001132. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjoq-2020-001132

© Background The first step in bundle design or implementation is to identify the problem being addressed. Several validated approaches are recommended to facilitate this. These include using systematic reviews, adverse event triggers and risk asses...
