Hypoxia at the surgical site impairs wound healing and oxidative killing of microbes. Surgical site infections are more common in obese patients. We hypothesized that subcutaneous oxygen tension (PsqO2) would decrease substantially in both obese and non‐obese patients following induction of anesthesia and after surgical incision. We performed a prospective observational study that enrolled obese and...

A variety of wound‐healing strategies can be used over closed surgical incisions, including negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). The aim of the study is to assess sternal wound complications after heart surgery using NPWT in patients at risk for surgical...
