[Successful infection control in regional anesthesia procedures : Observational survey after introduction of the DGAI hygiene recommendations.]

CONCLUSION: Using a real-time computer-based tool for data capture makes a veritable detection of adverse events possible. Such a tool also has the power to monitor the effects of changes in clinical procedures (SOP). In this case it was possible to verify the successful introduction of an extended hygiene care bundle. The new regime significantly decreased the rate of infections in cPNB. PMID: 23381785 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
