WOUND HEALING IN SEPSIS AND TRAUMA
Shock, 1995Wound healing represents a dynamic and immediate response of the body to tissue injury with the purpose of restoring anatomical continuity, structure and function. Success or failure of this complex cascade of events is determined largely by competence of the host's immune system. Sepsis represents one of the most formidable threats to successful wound

Treatment of Wound Sepsis in Irradiated Mice
International Journal of Radiation Biology, 1989Infections in the immunocompromised host are difficult to treat. The local and systemic effect of penicillin therapy, supplemented by immunoglobulins, and pentoxifylline on wounds infected by Staphylococcus aureus was evaluated in mice irradiated with 6.5 Gy 60Co gamma-rays. Three days after irradiation a suspension of S.

The incidence of wound sepsis in a community hospital
Irish Journal of Medical Science, 1984WOUND infection in a prospective series of 617 patients are reported from a community hospital. An overall infection rate of 7.2% was achieved with little difference between the rate in clean-contaminated, contaminated, and dirty cases. Factors thought to influence the rate of wound infection are discussed and attention is drawn to the technique of ...

Journal of Intensive Care Medicine, 1987
Wound sepsis remains perhaps the most feared sequela in the patient who has suffered major burn injuries and leads to overwhelming mortality among patients with extensive burn wounds. The presence of large areas of devitalized, necrotic tissue, coupled with the profound immunosuppression that usually follows major injury, sets the stage for rapid ...

Wound Sepsis after Cholecystectomy
Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 1986We undertook a prospective study of the effect of incidental appendectomy on the safety of cholecystectomy in patients under the age of 50 years. One hundred twenty patients were randomized to have either cholecystectomy alone or cholecystectomy and appendectomy. All patients received preoperative antibiotic cover. Both groups were well matched for age,

Care of the open wound in abdominal sepsis
Journal of Wound Care, 1996A recent development in the treatment of patients with intra-abdominal sepsis is to leave the abdomen open after the first laparotomy, thus presenting nurses with the problem of adequate wound care. Over the past 10 years, nurses in the surgical intensive care unit at University Hospital Rotterdam have developed an improved wound-dressing routine ...

Wound Sepsis in Orthopaedic Surgery
The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1962To test the effectiveness of postoperative prophylactic antibiotics in orthopaedic surgery, 331 non-infected surgical candidates were studied at Walter Reed General Hospital over a twelve-month period. The patients were divided at random on the basis of their hospital register numbers into control and experimental groups.
