Abstract:

Surgical Site Infection (SSI) can be a devastating complication, leading to increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Pre-surgical hand preparation is an effective strategy to prevent SSI. The two most common pre-surgical hand preparation methods are antimicrobial soap for surgical hand scrub and alcohol-based surgical hand rub. The antimicrobial soap hand scrub remains more commonly used among operating theater staff. However, several studies showed that alcohol-based hand rubs are much more effective than antiseptic soap hand scrubs. Objective: This study aimed to compare the eff

Surgical site infection (SSI) is the infection which affects the surgical incision site or deep tissues of the body and revealed within 30 days after surgery or within 1 year if implants are left inside body for treatment purpose [1]. The prevalence of SSI is 2.5%–41% globally but expected to be significantly higher in low-middle income countries where hospitals are often less equipped [2]. SSI is the leading cause of healthcare-associated infections which not only prolonged the hospital stay of admitted patients but also increase the treatment charges and may result in higher morbidity and mo

Abstract Under-staffing of nurses is a significant problem in most countries. It is expected to rise in the coming years, making it challenging to perform crucial tasks like assessing a patient's condition, assisting the surgeon in medical procedures, catheterization and Blood Transfusion etc., Automation of some essential tasks would be a viable idea to overcome this shortage of nurses. One such task intended to automate is the role of a 'Scrub Nurse' by using a robotic arm to hand over the surgical instruments.

In hand-washing practice, people tend to forget to use soap and scrub for 20 seconds as stated in the standard. This paper attempts to develop an automatic faucet that is user-friendly and easy to plug in regular water pipe for standard hand-washing routine.
