Abstract
All surgical patients are at risk of surgical site infections which can cause serious wound healing complications. To improve patient care and promote good patient outcomes, veterinary nurses must be aware of the pathophysiology and clinical signs of surgical site infections, in addition to how to reduce the risks of surgical site infections in clinical practice. There are many evidence-based techniques that can be implemented to reduce the risk of surgical site infections; multiple techniques may be combined into a care bundle, a relatively novel concept in veterinary medicine. Individual practices should be aware of emerging techniques and implement care bundles that are most relevant to their surgical case load. This article discusses surgical site infections and considers the appropriateness and application of care bundles into veterinary practice through governance techniques.
