Chronic wounds impact the quality of life of many people across the globe. For example, in the United States, it affects nearly 2.5% (more than 8 million people).
Surgical site infections are the most frequent type of healthcare-associated infections, accounting for 14% − 25% of the total hospital-acquired infections.
Methicillin-resistant S. aureus now is one of the leading organisms causing invasive infection in burns across the world, with burn units reporting rates of infection greater than 50%.
The overall mortality for driveline infection was 11.5%
Hospital-acquired infections during ECMO is 10–12% and their occurrence is likely to be more frequent compared with other critically ill patients.
