Optimization and Early Detection of Postsurgical Sepsis and Surgical Site Infection
Main Article Content
Abstract
Surgical site infection is a common cause of hospital-acquired infections. The Centers for Disease Control introduced the phrase "Surgical Site Infection" to specifically refer to postoperative infections, which can be further categorized as either "Wound infections" or "organ or space infections". The organization also established the criteria that delineate this particular form of illness. Identifying the disease at an early stage and promptly initiating evidence-based therapy may provide a challenge. Early detection, standardized treatment after the first protocol, immediate management of the infection site, and the implementation of additional medications can significantly enhance the outlook for these patients.
