  • Title: The nosocomial wound infection report. Its impact in the OR.
    Author: Rowell CC.
    Journal: Todays OR Nurse; 1990 Oct; 12(10):21-3. PubMed ID: 2238021.
    Abstract:
    1. Reporting surgical wound infection rates to the OR nurse is valued and used as a feed-back mechanism to monitor aseptic technique in the operating room. 2. At the institution surveyed, the chief influences on OR personnel's surgical aseptic practice were the OR nurse, followed by the infection control nurse and then the attending surgeon. 3. If the clean surgical wound infection rate was above 3%, the OR personnel would review preoperative and intraoperative risk factors at the institution surveyed.
