Abstract

Aim: Wound infections are serious complications of cardiovascular surgery. An analysis of risk factors for postoperative wound infection çan lead to more effective preventive measures. The aim of our study was to report postoperative wound infections in cardiovascular surgery patients. Methods: Between January 2000 and April 2004, 649 consecutive patients underwent cardiovascular surgery in our hospital. The patients were evaluated retrospectively Results: Postoperative wound infection developed in 6 patients (0,9%). Four of them had superficial wound, infections and the remaining two patients had mediastinitis. Conclusion: We believe that with strict adherence to perioperative aseptic technique, careful attention to hemostasis,meticulous surgical technique,and avoidance of bone-wax and excessive electro cotery use is, a very low incidence of wound infection important in achieving.

Özet

Amaç: Kardiyovasküler cerrahi sonrası gelişen yara enfeksiyonları ciddi komplikasyonlara neden olabilir. Postoperatif yara enfeksiyonlarında risk faktörlerinin analizi enfeksiyondan etkin bir korunmanın nasıl yapılacağını da belirler. Bu çalışmamızda amacımız kardiyovasküler cerrahi sonrası postoperatif yara enfeksiyonlarının gelişmesinde rol oynayan faktörleri incelemektir. Yöntem: Hastanemizde Ocak 2000 ile Nisan 2004 tarihleri arasında kardiyovasküler cerrahi girişim uygulanan 649 hasta retrospektif olarak incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Postoperatif yara enfeksiyonu sadece 6 (%0,9) hastamızda görüldü. Bunlardan 4'ü yüzeyel yara enfeksiyonu ve 2'si de mediastinit idi. Sonuç: Âseptik tekniklere uyma, dikkatli hemostaz ve itinalı bir cerrahi teknik uygulanması, aşırı koterizasyon ve bone-wax kullanımından kaçınma yara enfeksiyonlarının azalmasında önemlidir.
