Post Operative Infection in Surgical Wards and Factors Influencing the Infection Rate in Tertiary Care Hospital
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
A prospective study of 1428 surgical wounds was conducted. All the wounds were examined for presence of infection and those with infection were studied bacteriologic ally. The overall infection rate is 4% (58). Klebsiellapneumoniae was commonest (36%) followed by staphylococcus aureus (24%), Escherichia coli (13.5%), Enterococcus (10%), pseudomonas aeruginosa (8.5%) and proteus mirabilis (6.5%). The two most important factors that influence the incidence of wound infection are surgical technique and the nature of the wound.
