The treatment of SSIs depends on the severity and type of infection. Common approaches include:
Antibiotic therapy: Administering appropriate antibiotics based on culture and sensitivity results. Wound care: Proper cleaning, debridement, and dressing of the wound to promote healing. Surgical intervention: In severe cases, additional surgery may be required to remove infected tissue or drain abscesses.
Nurses are essential in administering treatments, monitoring patient response, and providing comprehensive care.
