What this trial studies

This study investigates the effectiveness of an integrated working group of doctors and nurses in the operating room to prevent incision infections during orthopedic surgeries. It addresses the challenges posed by prolonged surgical procedures and compromised skin integrity, which increase the risk of surgical site infections. By implementing a new nursing model that combines medical and nursing staff, the study aims to enhance patient outcomes and reduce infection rates. The research will evaluate the clinical impact of this integrated approach in a hospital setting.
