SSI Case Study 1 – Answer
Deep Incisional SSI - Criterion b
Infection occurs within 30 or 90 days after the NHSN operative
(4/12-4/29) procedure according to the list in Table 3 and
involves deep soft tissues of the incision (e.g., fascial and muscle
layers) and
patient has at least one of the following:
a. purulent drainage from the deep incision
b. a deep incision that spontaneously dehisces or is deliberately opened
by a surgeon and is culture-positive or not cultured
and
patient has at least one of the following signs or symptoms: fever
(>38°C); localized pain or tenderness. A culture-negative finding does
not meet this criterion.
c. an abscess or other evidence of infection involving the deep incision is
found on direct examination, during invasive procedure, or by
histopathologic examination or imaging test.
d. diagnosis of a deep incisional SSI by a surgeon or attending physician

SSI Case Study 2 – Answer
Infection occurs within 30 or 90 days after the NHSN operative procedure
(9/10-9/14)according to the list in Table 3 and
involves any part of the body, excluding the skin incision, fascia, or muscle
layers, that is opened or manipulated during the operative procedure and
patient has at least one of the following:
•a. purulent drainage from a drain that is placed into the organ/space
•b. organisms isolated from an aseptically-obtained culture of fluid or
tissue in the organ/space
•c. an abscess or other evidence of infection involving the organ/space
that is found on direct examination, during invasive procedure, or
by histopathologic examination or imaging test
•d. diagnosis of an organ/space SSI by a surgeon or attending
physician
•and
meets at least one criterion of a specific organ/space infection site listed in
Table 4
15
SSI Case 2 Answer (continued)
IAB Criterion 2:
Patient has abscess or other evidence of intraabdominal
infection seen during an invasive procedure
histopathologic exam
Rationale:
• 2 different criteria need to be met for Organ/Space SSI
– SSI organ/space criteria AND
– Those of the specific site of the organ/space operated on
16
SSI Case Study 2 – Answer (continued)
• Why not GIT as the specific site of SSI?
– The abscess is in the abdominal wall
– GIT focuses on organs of the GI tract
Esophagus
Stomach
Small, Large bowel and Rectum
Excludes gastroenteritis and appendicitis
– Therefore, IAB is the appropriate choice site of SSI in
this case

SSI Case Study 2 (Continued)
Let’s change the scenario and say that at the time of the
I & D, it was discovered that the patient had suffered an
anastomotic leak from which the abscess developed.

SSI Case Study 2- Answer
Let’s change the scenario and say that at the time of the
I & D, it was discovered that the patient had suffered an
anastomotic leak from which the abscess developed.
Does this change your determination of an SSI -IAB?
1. No
Although an anastomotic leak can be a
complication of surgery, the fact remains that this
patient meets the criterion for an SSI. If the
surgery had not been performed there would not
have been an anastomotic leak.

SSI Case Study 3
On 5/15 a 45-year-old female undergoes an abdominal hysterectomy
(HYST) and colectomy (COLO) performed through the same incision.
If both of these procedures are in your Monthly Reporting Plan in May
The colectomy is performed as the result of a ruptured diverticulum. The
operative note states “ cloudy peritoneal fluid aspirated from the abdomen
and sent for culture”. The ASA score is 2 and the operative wound class is
recorded as clean contaminated (2). The surgical time (incision to incision
close) is 3.10 hrs .

Rationale for procedure SSI attribution
• HYST

• Both HYST and COLO
If a procedure from more than one NHSN operative
procedure category was done through a single
incision, attempt to determine the procedure that is
thought to be associated with the infection. If it is
not clear (as is often the case when the infection is a
superficial incisional SSI),or if the infection site
being reported Is not an SSI, use the NHSN
Principal Operative Procedure Selection Lists (Table
5) to select which operative procedure to report.

SSI Case Study 4
• 1/22: Patient had a total laparoscopic abdominal
hysterectomy. Discharged 1/24
• 2/1: Abdominal pain with purulent drainage in 2 of 3
trocar sites; Temp 38.4°C
• 2/3: Surgeon opened wounds in the ER and noted
purulent material in the fascial layer; specimens to lab for
culture; Urine culture sent; antibiotics begun
• 2/5: Wound cultures positive for Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Urine culture >105 P. aerugensa, E. coli and CNS

SSI Case Study 4 -Answer
How many SSIs should be reported?
Rationale
1. One
Following laparoscopic surgeries, if more than
one of the incisions should become infected,
only report as a single SSI.
If one is superficial incisional and one is deep
incisional, report only as a deep incisional SSI.
What about the urine culture. UTI?
‒ NO (>3 pathogens)

Endocarditis Rationale: (chapter 17 pg. 17)
Criteria: 2 or more signs or symptoms (fever) and changing murmur,
embolic phenomena, skin manifestations, CHF or cardiac conduction
abnormality AND
2a: Organisms isolated from 2 or more BC’s
2e: evidence of new vegetation seen on echocardiogram
AND MD initiates appropriated antimicrobial therapy
CLABSI Module Appendix 1: pp. 4-15
3. No site-specific specimen cultured only a positive blood culture:
 if the site-specific culture is an element used to meet the infection site
criterion (in this case it is, endocarditis cr 2a and e) and
the blood isolate is also an element used to meet another criterion at
the same infection site (in this case endocarditis cr 2a and e),then
the BSI is considered secondary to that site-specific infection. This is
an endocarditis with Candida tropicalis. Element (BC) time frame not >1
day gap.
56
Ms. G. CLABSI Case Study 4-Discussion
NO CAUTI Rationale (4/13)
-criteria 2a
 FC in place >2 days (Inserted 3/24) AND
 Fever (101.2)
 UA positive LE, WBC >10 (26-50) AND
 UC >103 and <105 (no colony count)
-Report to NHSN as ICU CAUTI - Candida ?
No, since there was no UC colony count it may not meet
the final criteria and therefore not meet CAUTI criteria.
Fever is a non-specific symptom of infection and must
be applied to multiple HAI criterion. There is no SUTI
criterion utilizing a blood culture as one of the elements

• 4/11 Foley catheter inserted = device day 1
• 4/12 = Day 1 (first calendar day of hospital admission)
• 4/13 = Day 2 (second calendar day of hospital admission)
-First day of SUTI criteria
- Temp: 39.6
- U/A: negative Nitrate/Leukoesterase, wbc>25/mm3
- UC: E. coli > 103 (cfu 103 to ≤105 for criterion 2a)
• Hospital admission <3 calendar days, therefore not HAI
• Foley catheter in 3 days, which = SUTI criterion but not HAI
HAI: All elements of the infection criterion were first present together on or after
the 3rd calendar day of hospital admission. An element of the infection criterion may
be present during the first 2 calendar days of admission to the facility as long as it
is present on or after calendar day 3. AND all elements must occur within a time
frame that does not exceed a gap of 1 calendar day between two adjacent
elements.

CDI Event Reporting Reminders
• Don’t over think, individual cases not reviewed for
signs or symptoms
• Positive test = date specimen collected
•Accurate recording of dates. location, positive test
and date of last positive test for each patient location
•> 14 days since Last positive test in same location
across calendar months
• Need access to Laboratory inpatient CDI test results.
Ensure tests performed on non-formed stool specimen
83
CDI LabID Event Case Study 1
• 2/1: 56 year old male admitted to ICU bed with pneumonia. Central IV
inserted for antibiotics.
• 2/2: Patient voiding without difficulty. Cough with moderate sputum
production. Patient complains of lower abdominal cramps, relieved
with medication.
• 2/3: Patient transfers to 2E. Later that day, patient has fever of 38.2
and complains of worsening lower abdominal pain. BM with loose
unformed stool.
• 2/4: While on 2E, the patient continues to complain of lower
abdominal pain and loose stools. Over the course of 24hours, the
patient had three loose stools. Unformed stool specimen collected and
sent for testing.
• 2/5: Lab results identified toxin positive C. difficile toxin stool samples.

Does this meet NHSN criteria for a CDI LabID
Event
1.
No, His symptoms started

3/1: Patient presents to the emergency department (ED)
with complaints of diarrhea and lower abdominal pain for
the past three days. Patient states that he has been on
antibiotics for 10 days for tooth abscess. A stool
specimen is collected while the patient is in the
emergency department and toxin assay is positive for
C. difficile.
