Abstract
Interventional pain procedures and surgeries, while considered minimally invasive, can have serious, life-threatening infectious complications. The risk of infection varies considerably based on the type of procedure and patient risk factors. Therefore it is essential that all practicing interventional pain medicine physicians have a thorough understanding of potential infectious risks, signs, and symptoms, methods to minimize infections, how to identify infections, and management of infections for each type of interventional procedure performed. This chapter summarizes the available literature, national recommendations, and expert opinions on the prevention, recognition, and management of procedural and surgical complications with a goal to improve physician awareness and patient care in the fields of interventional pain medicine and neuromodulation.
