The skin and mucous membranes are the body's first complete line of defense against microbial invasion.During a surgical operation, this line of defense is broken and the wound formed is susceptible to bacterial contamination, which may cause a surgical site infection (SSI) after the operation.Deep infection after joint replacement surgery is one of the most harmful comorbidities.As a result, patients will need to undergo multiple surgeries and receive more antibiotic treatments, thereby extending the life of the patient.

 The quality and prognosis of physical exercise are reduced, and the length of the patient's hospital stay will also increase the consumption of medical expenses.At the same time, this will damage team morale and increase the risk of medical disputes.In 2018, use team resources to establish information-based comprehensive nursing measures in the operating room, anesthesiology department, orthopedic ward, infection department and information department, and conduct preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative monitoring of various operations to promote comprehensive nursing measures and prevention.Measures Infection of the joint replacement surgery site in the orthopedic ward.In 2017, the average infection rate of the surgical site was 0.53%, and by 2019 it dropped to 0.42%.
