AUTHORS' RESPONSE

Thank you for taking the time to respond to our article! We really appreciate it. It is likely that your Chicago hospital has a good engineering department whose staff is upon these issues, but we think nurses should also be aware of the possibilities. We found this topic very interesting once we got into the literature. Our initial interest was because of sternal wound infections among postoperative open heart surgery patients, but we found the entire area fascinating.
