11. | Effects Of Antimicrobial Medical Textile Products In Reducing Surgical Area Infections Semra Eyi doi: 10.5222/HEAD.2019.330 Pages 330 - 337 Aim: It was aimed to discuss the effect of antimicrobial medical textile products in reducing surgical site infections. Results: Within the scope of surgical textile products used in hospitals; implanted surgical threads and artificial textile veins, impermeable bandages and wound care materials, artificial organs with extracorporeal textiles, bedding with sanitary and hygiene products, protective garments and covers, surgical drapes and surgical garments.Surgical site infections are one of the most important problems of the surgery. As a result of the attachment of microorganisms to large textile surfaces, textile products can be carriers. In literature Acinetobacter baumannii, MRSA,VRE,coagulasenegative, Staphylococci, Corynebacterium Micrococcus, Bacillus, Gram negative bacilli, Enterococcus, Saprophytic Gram negative bacilli and rotaviral RNA have been identified in these products. It has been reported that these viruses could survive for hours on the clothes and thus become a source for the possibility of infecting the clothes. Studies on prevention of infection spread of antimicrobial imparted textile products are available in the literature. It is stated in the literature antimicrobial impregnated textiles are effective against pathogens such as S.aureus, Candida albicans, Acinetobacter Clostridium difficile and Klebsiella pneumoniae. On the other hand, bacteria resistance to antimicrobial agents, the use of antimicrobial active substances increases and this can lead to weakening of the immune system, as well as various drawbacks. For this reason, it would be beneficial for nurses to follow the evidences that antimicrobial textile products and antimicrobial agents have on patients, new symptoms that may develop, individual comments on patient treatments, nurses to record their own observations, and evidence-based research findings that show differences between traditional products.Conclusion: More studies on the transfer of microorganisms from the disease to the clinical situation are needed. In the long term various regulations on the production and use of antimicrobial textiles may need to be made. |
