An economic analysis of surgical wound infection
Journal of Hospital Infection, 2001Audit of surgical wound infection is not only an outcome indicator, but also an important aspect of infection control. The literature suggests an expensive 'gold standard' involving a full-time audit nurse collecting prospective data, including a 30-day follow-up into the community.Our study indicates that the cost of surgical wound infection is three ...

Abstract 1. 1. The increase in wound infection on a surgical service led to a study of possible sources. 2. 2. The infection rate has no relation to monthly admission rate, number of “dirty” cases admitted or number of operative procedures. 3. 3. Staph.

Wound infections remain a major source of postoperative morbidity, accounting for about a quarter of the total number of nosocomial infections. Today, many of these infections are first recognized in the outpatient clinic or in the patient's home due to the large number of operations done in the outpatient setting.

Surgical wound assessment by sonography in the prediction of surgical wound infections
Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, 2016Surgical site infections (SSIs) are important sources of morbidity, prolonged hospital stays, and readmissions, so they have become a major economic burden. We hypothesized that surgical wound assessment by sonography (SWATS) used at the bedside would detect wound fluid collections and that the presence of such collections would predict SSI better than

Surgical wound infections prompt antagonistic patient results, including delayed hospitalization and demise. Wound infection happens with every entry point, however demonstrated procedures exist to diminish the hazard of surgical injury diseases.

Prevention of Infection in Surgical Wounds
New England Journal of Medicine, 1957WOUND infection has become one of the most difficult surgical problems of the current decade.1 Widespread bacterial resistance and crossinfection of the hospital population have been observed repeatedly,2 , 3 and alleged by some to be penalties of indiscriminate use of antibiotics.4 , 5 Until eight months ago, it was believed at this hospital that ...

Surgical wound infections: An overview
The American Journal of Medicine, 1981There have been three major avenues by which control over infection has been increased: (1) Preservation of host defenses, (2) antisepsis and (3) asepsis. Despite the major successes we have had, infection remains the major limitor of surgical horizons.

Prevention of Surgical Wound Infection
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1978Operative wound infection is examined through classifications based on estimation of frequency, severity, and sources of infection. These classifications help in identifying preventive and corrective measures. All surgeons are concerned with postoperative infection because it can convert a superior technical result into a disaster.

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 ...

Sodium fusidate in surgical wound infections
The American Journal of Surgery, 1968Abstract The new antistaphylococcal drug, sodium fusidate, was studied in 102 surgical wound infections with a culture of coagulase-positive Staph. aureus. An 84 per cent resolution of the infections was achieved. In thirty-four infections which were resistant to other synthetic penicillins, sodium fusidate was 62 per cent effective.
