    Summary

    Proper management of autologous tissue can prevent surgical site infections in patients undergoing tissue replantation or autotransplantation. This guideline offers protocols for handling, storing, and transferring tissue within a facility.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Nursing
    • Tissue Management
    • Infection Prevention

    Background:

    • Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a risk for patients undergoing tissue replantation or autotransplantation.
    • Effective management of autologous tissue is crucial for preventing SSIs.
    • The Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN) has updated its guideline for autologous tissue management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide perioperative personnel with key points from the updated AORN guideline for autologous tissue management.
    • To assist in developing protocols for handling, packaging, labeling, transporting, and storing autologous tissue.
    • To address specific tissue types commonly managed for replantation or autotransplantation.

    Main Methods:

    • Focuses on key recommendations from the AORN "Guideline for autologous tissue management."

  • Highlights best practices for tissue transfer from the sterile field.
  • Details procedures for packaging, labeling, transport, and storage of autologous tissue.

    • Main Results:

    • Provides a framework for developing institutional protocols for autologous tissue management.
    • Addresses management of specific tissues including avulsed teeth, cranial bone flaps, and autologous skin.
    • Emphasizes the importance of standardized procedures to minimize infection risk.

    Conclusions:

    • Adherence to updated AORN guidelines for autologous tissue management can reduce the incidence of SSIs.
    • Perioperative nurses play a vital role in implementing and updating policies and procedures for tissue handling.
    • Standardized autologous tissue management is essential for successful replantation and autotransplantation outcomes.
