national Greypower mAGAZINE » june 2016 19 Smoking increases infection likelihood in trauma patients A four year study of more than 300 Queensland trauma patients has shown that smokers and patients with comorbidities are at increased risk of developing an infection following surgery. Post-operative infection is particularly problematic in trauma patients requiring metal plates or prosthetics because it may require the whole operation to be done again. Dr Andrew Lewandowski from the Gold Coast University Hospital says that being a smoker increases your chances of getting bone infections if metalwork has been used to fix fractures. “We know that smoking even one cigarette constricts your small blood vessels, particularly at the site where a fracture is healing, reducing blood flow and the capacity of the body to heal,” Dr Lewandowski says. “Smoking has been shown to drastically increase the time for all surgical wounds to heal, and is often a reason surgery is cancelled in an elective setting. “Unfortunately when treating fractures in an emergency we can't completely stop people from smoking and so we see high rates of infections in these patients. “Our study focused on fractures of the upper and lower limbs where a tourniquet was used in the surgery, and we found that the timing of antibiotic administration was also a big factor in whether patients developed a post-operative infection. “Antibiotics need to be circulating in the blood before surgery begins, and in orthopaedic surgery where a tourniquet is used, there often isn’t time for the medicine to fully circulate in the limb before blood supply is cut off. “We found that rates of infection were reduced when antibiotics were administered between 11 and 30 minutes before tourniquet inflation. “It is hoped that these findings will allow us to alter clinical practice to reduce rates of infection following trauma surgery, but it is another reminder for people to quit smoking to avoid serious health complications.” Dr Lewandowski presented his findings at the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons Annual Scientific Congress in Brisbane recently.

The RACS Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Medal is part of the College’s efforts to celebrate advancements that are helping to close the gap in health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The RACS Maori Health Medal is awarded for significant contributions by Fellows to Maori health advocacy and outcomes in New Zealand. Professor Francis Lannigan is the 2016 recipient of the RACS Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Medal. A senior ear nose and throat surgeon at Princess Margaret Hospital for children, Professor Lannigan established a pro bono ear clinic two decades ago for Aboriginal children in the Kwinana Community Health Clinic in Western Australia. Prof Lannigan continues to work in the Eastern Goldfields and Gascoyne regions providing access to patients who may not otherwise receive services. He has contributed to significant research into middle ear disease in Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children. Microbiological, medical and environmental factors were monitored and correlated with middle ear status in the Eastern Goldfields Health region. Professor Andrew Hill is the 2016 recipient of the RACS Maori Health Medal. Prof Hill is a general surgeon from Auckland, and a central figure in academic and clinical surgery in the Counties Manukau District Health Board. Prof Hill’s nomination recognises his development of a robust mentoring programme for Maori and Pacific Islander students over many years, which has resulted in high levels of attainment in degrees in clinical disciplines and PhDs. His example has not only encouraged junior surgeons to higher levels of attainment but has also demonstrated what can be achieved through encouragement, support and mentoring. tHe yOGHuRt caPSule Natures natural internal helpers • Supports your immunity • Supports a healthy digestive system • Helps your body manage recovery from illness • Helps keep your bowel healthy and regular • Replenish and help maintain 'good bacteria' for optimum health • Supports good energy levels 100% Dairy free • 100% Natural • 100% Gluten free Name: _________________________________ Address: _______________________________ Phone: _________________________________ 2 pots (4 months supply/120 capsules) $69.00 1 pot (2 month supply/60 capsules) $40.95 Courier/Freight $6.00 $5.00 dIScOunt for Grey Power members on your first order Enclosed is my cheque for $________________ or please charge my credit card: Expiry:________ 12278 Kirker Health Free Post 317 PO Box 5101, Invercargill FreepHoNe: 0800 99 88 88 The Yoghurt Capsule really will help to maintain a healthy digestive system.
