Abstract 104 OPERATIONS in North and Central America were carried out with the operation wound isolated in an inflated, free-form plastic bag. The purpose was to achieve, not absolute asepsis, but a safe surgical field in an otherwise highly contaminated environment. The operating-rooms varied from highly contaminated to clean.

People are the major source of bacterial contamination in the hospital environment, and to control environmental bacteria, the shedding potential of people must be controlled. In a conventional operating room, the more complete the surgical attire worn by everyone in the room, the better the control; i.e., body exhaust equipment for the ...

SURGICAL ALTERNATIVES FOR WOUNDS
Nursing Clinics of North America, 1999Surgical alternatives in wound care are a primary consideration for the treatment of nonhealing and traumatic wounds. Using the Reconstructive Ladder as an outline, this article provides an overview of preoperative wound care and the indications for surgical options in wound care. An overview of nursing care is highlighted as each option is reviewed to

It is clear that the alterations in wound healing caused by irradiation and chemotherapy are due to reduced rates of collagen production, probably from adverse effects of irradiation and chemotherapy on fibroblasts. The effect is to slow the process of wound healing so much that there is significantly more time for a complication to occur.

Evidence-based surgical wound care on surgical wound infection
British Journal of Nursing, 2002Surgical wound infection is an important outcome indicator in the postoperative period. A 3-year prospective cohort epidemiological study of 2202 surgical patients from seven surgical wards, across two hospitals, was carried out using gold standard surveillance methodology.

Abstract A wound may be defined as the loss of continuity of epithelium, with or without loss of underlying connective tis sue (including muscle, bone, and nerves for example), following injury. The injury may follow direct violence or be inflicted by a non-mechanical injury-which may also be re sponsible for delay in healing.

Abdominal incisions typically are covered with conventional gauze or not dressed at all, since it is commonly believed that dressings do not influence the healing process. Also, patient personal hygiene is not facilitated when gauze type dressings are used, and frequent changes are time consuming and sometimes painful. Following creation of an adjacent

Debridement for surgical wounds
Cochrane Database of Systematic ReviewsSurgical wounds that become infected are often debrided because clinicians believe that removal of this necrotic or infected tissue may expedite wound healing. There are numerous methods of debridement available, but no consensus on which one is most effective for surgical wounds.To assess the effects of different methods of debridement on the rate of ...

Surgical Wound Infection Surveillance
Zentralblatt für Chirurgie, 2003Measuring the frequency of a defined outcome flaw for a series of patients undergoing operative procedures generates information for performance evaluation. Such data influence decisions to improve care if used responsibly. Wound infection (WI), bacterial invasion of the incision, is the most common infectious complication of surgical care and WI ...
