Postoperative acquisition of infections complicating cardiac surgery: infection‐control considerations

Evidence has been reported recently indicating the efficacy of certain infection-control practices in preventing endemic cross-infection during patient care in intensive-care units; these practice include hand antisepsis, use of gloves, and barrier precuatioins. Further application of maximal barrier precautions during insertion of central-vascular catheters has also recently has been found to reduce substantially the incidence of primary blood stream infections in a high-risk patient population. These reports reflects the important advances in documentation of the need for specific infection-control meaures. Their routine use by all healthcare personnel, along with virogours efforts to eliminate environmental reservoris of infections, should serve to diminish the frequency of postoperative acqisition of various infections complicating cardiac operations. Such infections may occur as a complications to delivery of critical patient care, or may be due to various host attributes, or to both conditions.
