FRAGMENTO

Pregunta 1: ¿El número de bacterias que llegan a la herida quirúrgica se relaciona directamente con la probabilidad de ISQx?

Consenso: Reconocemos que la probabilidad de infección del sitio quirúrgico se correlaciona directamente con la cantidad de bacterias que llegan a la herida. En consecuencia, apoyamos las estrategias para disminuir partículas y el número de bacterias en las heridas quirúrgicas.
Voto de los delegados: De acuerdo, 97%; en desacuerdo, 2%; abstenciones, 1%. (Consenso fuerte.)
