How are Clean Contaminated Wounds Managed in Pediatrics?
Management of clean contaminated wounds in pediatric patients involves several steps:
Preoperative Care: This includes ensuring that the child is in good general health and administering prophylactic antibiotics to reduce the risk of infection. Intraoperative Techniques: Surgeons use sterile techniques and minimize tissue damage to reduce the risk of contamination. Postoperative Care: This involves keeping the wound clean and dry, monitoring for signs of infection, and ensuring proper nutrition to promote healing.
