Abstract : Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) is postoperative wound infection that occurs after surgery. The complications in the acute care facilities with up to 60% of SSI cases estimated to be preventable by using evidence-based practice (Anderson et al., 2014; Jenks et al., 2014; Webster & Osborne, 2015; Vranken et al., 2014). Not with standing the advances in the coronary artery by-pass graft (CABG), the rising prevalence of SSI has become a primary concern in the infection control practices (Ebrahimi et al., 2014). Aims: To Identify the risk factors associated with the surgical site infections among CABG patients and, to assess nurses compliance to bundle care to prevent surgical site infection. Design: A quantitative , retrospective study has been used. Setting: King Abdulaziz University Hospital in Jeddah city. Sample: 120 CABG patient's record complied between January 2011 to December 2013. Results: The study revealed statistically significant results between the preference of SSI and demographic factor e.g. BMI, patient risk factors such as DM1/DM2, selected pre-operative factors e.g. Methicilin-resistant Staphylococcus aurous, postoperative factors e.g. rewiring, dressing, ventilation and low cardiac output. Conclusion: The study established that the compliance with the bundle was proven to be effective in reducing risk factors to SSI however nurses adherence to SSI bundle care were incomplete and required more enforcement to comply. Nursing Recommendations : Nurses should be aware of the importance of adhering to surgical site infection bundles. Nurses should not only be educated on the importance of the bundles, but on how effectives apply the bundles at different stages. Keywords: King Abdulaziz University Hospital, surgical site infection, risk factors, bundle, coronary artery bypass graft.
