Application of a framework to mitigate the risk of surgical site infection after exploratory celiotomy in horses: A retrospective study
Surgical audits serve as critical quality-of-care measure, allowing hospitals to identify procedural deficiencies. There is currently no literature that describes structured processes to manage this kind of problem in veterinary medicine. Surgical audit implementation may help other hospitals faced with similar challenges.
