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

Postoperative Wound Infections
Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1981Postoperative wound infection represents a serious complication of any surgical procedure. Prevention is the cornerstone when approaching this problem. Host factors, prophylactic antibiotics and meticulous surgical technique are key elements in achieving normal wound healing. These are discussed, as is wound infection in various types of surgery of the

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.

Journal of Wound Care, 1998
Clinicians face many dilemmas when 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 in or on wounds?

Three babies who developed infection in their median sternotomy wounds are reported. In one child, a retrosternal abscess was drained and in the other two cases, the wounds dehisced. The wound cavities were filled with a rectus abdominis myocutaneous island flap and in each case, the wounds healed primarily.

The American Journal of Medicine, 1991
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.

This chapter concentrates on postoperative wound infection or surgical site infection (SSI) as the archetypal surgical infection because it follows a surgical procedure and requires surgical intervention for resolution. It analyzes the density of bacterial contamination of the incision as the most obvious factor influencing the risk of infection.

Patients with mammalian bite wounds account for hundreds of thousands of emergency department, urgent care center, and physician office visits in the United States each year. The types of wounds encountered by physicians range from insignificant scratches to life-threatening neck and facial injuries.

This paper describes a prospective study of all surgical wounds of patients at the Foothills Hospital (Calgary, Alberta, Canada) during a period of 10 years to determine the rate of infection of surgical wounds and to assess the factors that influenced this rate.

Surveillance of wound infections
Journal of Hospital Infection, 1995Demands are increasing for accurate rates of wound infection in surgical units. However, definitions vary widely and resources are limited. Wound scoring methods improve objectivity and have the power to show changes with time, but they can be laborious. Without community surveillance, inpatient rates can also be misleading.
