wound asepsis?
permalink
Just wondering. I work as a staff RN in a suburban ER. I also do a bit of agency work. I recently told an agency nurse that was giving report to that this patient needed "wound asepsis." He had no idea what I was talking about to which I replied "wound cleaning." Then one doctor told me that it was local terminology. Would you have known what I meant? Just curious. Jenny

(totally love your name, lol) I live in nw indiana and we use the term wound asepsis all the time, meaning irrigating and scrubbing out a wound. seems like that terminology would be the same everywhere.
