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 ...

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.

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.

Skin Bacteriology and Surgical Wound Infection
Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1967Transient and resident skin bacteria constitute a potent source of surgical wound contamination. Present methods of skin disinfection are efficient enough to result in 80% temporary sterility of the human skin.

Flavimonas Oryzihabitans Infection of a surgical wound
Pathology, 1990An unusual case of a post operative wound infection involving Flavimonas oryzihabitans is described. This organism is rarely isolated from human sources.

We commend McLaws et al. for their informative review on the validity of surgical wound infection as a clinical indicator in Australia.1 We too, wish to emphasize that consistency in case‐finding methods and indicator definitions is mandatory when pooling data and using indicator rates to compare quality of care.

Guideline for Prevention of Surgical Wound Infections
Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology, 1982Patients who undergo a surgical operation are at high risk of having one or more nosocomial infections. These infections develop in more surgical patients (8%) than in any other patient group, and about 70% of all nosocomial infections throughout the hospital develop in patients who have an operation.
