Cranial Surgical Site Infection Interventions and Prevention Bundles: A Systematic Review of the Literature

Michael Mann et al.

Summary: This study aimed to identify and characterize interventions aimed at reducing the incidence of cranial surgical site infections. Single interventions like hand-washing protocols and bundled interventions involving cultural changes showed potential in decreasing cSSI rates. While evidence supporting specific interventions is limited, there is some support for the use of vancomycin powder and implementing cultural changes to reduce SSI rates.
