Description: Abstract - Nursing care of a superficial incisional surgical site infection (13kb) British Journal of Nursing, Vol. 4, Iss. 18, 12 Oct 1995, pp 1084 - 1086 The factors associated with surgical wound infection are well documented (Kingsley, 1992; Gourlay, 1994; Leaper, 1995), as is the difficulty in identifying surgical wound infection (Cutting, 1994). The incidence of surgical wound infection differs between units (Mishriki et al, 1993), depending on the criteria used to define it (Cutting and Harding, 1994).
