Zusammenfassung

Die septische Chirurgie in Unfallchirurgie und Orthopädie gewinnt seit der Zunahme des Auftretens multiresistenter Erreger und der steigenden Anzahl von operativen Eingriffen in den letzten Jahren an Aufmerksamkeit. Da trotz z. T. jahrzehntelanger Erfahrungen weder das Krankheitsbild noch die Behandlungsstrategien evaluiert sind, wird zunehmend der Bedarf an einer wissenschaftlichen Bearbeitung dieses Themenkomplexes deutlich, um die Patientenversorgung unter ökonomisch sinnvollen Bedingungen zu optimieren.

Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, eine Momentaufnahme aus deutschen unfallchirurgisch-orthopädischen Gesundheitseinrichtungen zu einigen Fragen zu diesem Thema aus der Sektion „Knochen- und Weichteilinfektionen“ (SeKuWi) der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Orthopädie und Unfallchirurgie (DGOU) in Zusammenarbeit mit der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Krankenhaushygiene (DGKH) zu beantworten.

Abstract

Surgery of sepsis in trauma surgery and orthopedics is attracting increasingly more attention due to the rising presence of multidrug-resistant pathogens and the increasing number of operative interventions. Despite extensive experience over decades neither the symptoms nor the treatment strategies have been evaluated and it has become obvious that a scientific investigation of this complex topic is necessary for optimization of patient care under economically sound conditions. The aim of this article is to give a snapshot from German healthcare institutions for trauma surgery and orthopedics to answer some questions on this topic from the section for bone and soft tissue infections (SeKuWi) of the German Society for Orthopedics and Trauma (DGOU) in cooperation with the German Society for Hospital Hygiene (DGKH).
