Surgical site infection is a relatively common and devastating complication following pediatric orthopedic surgery.
Many infections have been determined to be the result of settled airborne particles on surgical equipment and the sterile field.
Fiberglass casts are commonly used orthopedic fixation devices before and after surgery; however, fiberglass casting material is expelled during the removal process and represents an uninvestigated area for the possibility of cast saw dust as a source of airborne bacterial contamination in an operating room setting.
This study evaluates the prevalence and distribution of microbiota on 90 pediatric casts by collecting and culturing fiberglass cast material from 90 pediatric casts.
Bacterial identification was performed using a Bruker Biotyper Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry device.
81 out of 90 casts (90%) showed evidence of microbial contamination.
Isolated species were very diverse and ranged from normal skin flora to opportunistic pathogens.
The 5 most commonly isolated organisms were Acinetobacter pittii, Enterobacter cloacae, Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Staphylococcus hominis.
Further investigation is required to determine if casting material is truly a cause of surgical site infection.
