Hand and Wrist Trauma: Antimicrobials and Infection-Audit of Clinical Practice (HAWAII-ACP)
This audit revealed substantial variability in the application of the WHO guidelines for SSI prevention in hand and wrist trauma surgery. In order to improve patient outcomes, there is a requirement for targeted and high-quality research evaluating established SSI reduction strategies in other surgical areas to determine their effectiveness in hand and wrist trauma surgery.
