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?

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 ...

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,

Diagnostics for Wound Infections
Advances in Wound Care, 2021Significance: Infections can significantly delay the healing process in chronic wounds, placing an enormous economic burden on health care resources. Identification of infection biomarkers and imaging modalities to observe and quantify them has seen progress over the years.

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

Sternal wound infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. They occur in 1% to 3% of patients who undergo open-heart surgery and carry a 20% to 40% mortality rate. Sternal infections can range from minor, superficial infections to open mediastinitis with invasion of the sternum, heart, and great ...
