Infection in wounds sutured in the accident and emergency department
Abstract:
We describe a prospective follow-up study on suturing the wounds of 500 patients treated consecutively in an accident and emergency department. Results were established for 485 patients. Severe infection occurred in 2.47% of patients and there was redness and swelling, possibly from infection, in 4.53%, for a total of 7% of patients with signs of inflammation. The results are compared with previous studies and the techniques and problems of suturing wounds in the accident and emergency department are discussed.
