Surgical Clinics of North America, 1994
Wound infections continue to be an important entity in terms of use of time and medical resources. Currently, the following risk factors are known to strongly predispose to wound infection: pre-existing medical illness, prolonged operative time, wound contamination, and contaminated or dirty wounds.

Wound infection: Managing wound infection
Journal of Wound Care, 1996Many dilemmas trouble clinicians working with infected and non-healing wounds and there is still considerable debate as to what the aim of treating such patients should be. Should it be to eradicate specific pathogenic organisms? Or should it be to reduce the bacterial burden present on open wounds?

Postoperative wound infections
Journal of Hospital Infection, 1995A prospective study of postoperative wound infection was carried out over a two year period in Cumhuriyet University Medicine Faculty Hospital in Sivas, Turkey. Examination of wounds, with cultures of all suspicious wounds using standard bacteriological methods was performed. Of a total of 4146 surgical wounds, 188 (4.53%), became infected.

Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology, 1986
Any consideration of infection following clean surgery, particularly cardiothoracic must include both exogenous and endogenous sources. The MRC Study on Hip Surgery presents a particular challenge. Although uncontrolled antibiotic prophylaxis reduced the infection rate almost as well as a laminar flow operating theater, further analysis of the data ...

Deep sternal wound infections (DSWI) continue to be a relatively uncommon event occurring in about 1%-2% of all patients undergoing cardiac surgery. However, the sheer number of cardiac surgery patients and the relatively high mortality associated with DSWIs makes them of clinical relevance.

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 1992
Wound infection surveillance is the information-gathering arm of a wound infection control program. Wound infection control concerns prevention--not therapy--of an infrequent but expensive kind of surgical morbidity. Topics discussed in this article include the effectiveness of wound infection surveillance; turf issues; phenomenology; and the gathering,

British Journal of Community Nursing, 2021
In the ever-changing world of wound care and nursing, it remains apparent that chronic wounds are a growing challenge. Evidence shows that age increases the likelihood of developing a chronic wound, which supports the notion that the burden of these wounds on the NHS is likely to further intensify with the ageing population. There are many reasons why

Wound Contamination, Wound Infection, and the Antibiotics
Archives of Surgery, 1957In war and in peace, infection is the bete noire of the surgeon who handles wounds. The most vulnerable are the wounds of violence, especially when the tissue damage extends to muscle, bone, or one of the body cavities. All are contaminated, characteristically, with more than one species of pathogenic bacteria at the time of wounding or during exposure
