Prevention of post-branch infections
Prevention of post-branch infections:
A fracture is an important means of helping the patient recover his bone structure and function, but post-operative infections are like hidden enemies, with potentially great pain and adverse consequences. Understanding and implementing effective preventive measures is a key element in ensuring the success of a fracture.
Before the operation, the physical preparation of the patient is essential. Maintaining good nutrition is the basis for raising the body ‘ s resistance. Patients should take food rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals, such as skinny meat, fish, fresh vegetables and vegetables, which helps to recover quickly after surgical trauma. For chronic diseases such as diabetes, the blood sugar level needs to be strictly controlled. High blood sugar, like a fertile breeding soil for bacteria, significantly increases the risk of post-operative infections.
Medical personnel, in collaboration with physicians, should adjust patients ‘ medication programmes to keep blood sugar within reasonable limits. At the same time, patients who have bad habits, such as smoking and alcohol abuse, must, as far as possible, be removed before the practice. Tobacco use can damage the blood supply of the wound, while alcohol can interfere with the immune function of the organism, which can cause a risk to post-operative infections.
Strict control of the operating environment is an important defence against infection. Operating theatres are subject to strict sterile practices. Air purification systems are regularly maintained and tested to ensure the cleanness of the air in the operating room. Sterilization of surgical devices is even more impenetrable, ranging from high-pressure vapour sterilization to the use of chemical disinfectants, each of which requires detailed recording and quality control. Medical personnel must wear sterile surgical clothing and gloves to enter the operating room and follow strict procedures for hand washing and disinfection to minimize bacterial contamination during the operation. At the operating stage, the level of skills and care of surgeons is directly related to the incidence of infection. Minimizing the duration of the operation is one of the keys, as the longer it takes, the longer the wound is exposed to air and the more opportunities for bacteria to enter. Doctors are required to act softly and with precision during operations to reduce damage to surrounding tissues. The selection and implantation of inside fixed materials in fractured parts also requires caution to ensure the quality and biocompatibility of the material and to avoid inflammation response to material problems. At the same time, in the course of the operation, it is necessary to completely eliminate the surviving tissues, which are hotbeds for bacterial reproduction and which, if left behind, would significantly increase the likelihood of infection.
Post-operative care is also essential to prevent infection. The care of the wound is of the utmost importance, and it must be kept clean and dry. Medical personnel are required to observe closely whether the wound is permeable to blood, seepage, and whether there are signs of infection such as red edema, fever and increased pain. If the wound dressing is found to be contaminated, it should be replaced in a timely manner. Nor should the care of the fluids be overlooked, so as to ensure that the mains are smooth, to avoid the reverse flow of the fluids and to prevent bacteria from entering the wound through the mains. Rational use of antibiotics is an important means of preventing infection, but the strict principle of the use of drugs must be observed. The type, dosage and time of use of antibiotics should be selected with precision, depending on the type of operation, the patient ‘ s individual circumstances and the type of pathogen that is likely to occur, so as to avoid the abuse of antibiotics leading to the creation of resistance.
The post-operative cooperation of the patients themselves is also crucial. Patients are strictly trained in rest and rehabilitation, in accordance with medical instructions, to avoid premature excess activity leading to internal decomposition or fracture.
At the same time, care should be taken to keep the body clean, especially with regard to the skin surrounding the surgical part. In cases of fever, abnormal wounds, etc., during rehabilitation, medical personnel are informed in a timely manner for the early detection and treatment of possible infections.
In short, the prevention of post-breeding infections is a systematic project that requires a concerted effort by patients, health-care workers and the various components of the hospital. It is only by putting in place measures such as pre-operative preparation, operation and post-operative care that the incidence of post-breeding infections can be effectively reduced and patients can be successfully rehabilitated.
