Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Complex deep surgical site infection in the cardiothoracic surgery patient that reaches the sternum and even the mediastinum, causing osteomyelitis and mediastinitis, is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) can aid in achieving favorable outcomes in patients with complex surgical site infections by promoting wound healing and shortening the hospital stay. NPWT is widely recognized for its advantages and has recently been used in both cardiothoracic and non-cardiothoracic settings.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of NPWT in the management of complex deep surgical site infection after cardiothoracic surgery.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective chart review of all complex cardiothoracic cases admitted to the cardiac and thoracic surgery divisions for surgical intervention to treat postoperative surgical wound infections.
RESULTS: A total of 18 patients were included, with a male-to-female ratio of 5:4. The mean (SD) age was 48.7 (16.5) years. The cases reviewed were complex, and the duration of the NPWT application ranged from 4 days to 120 days, with an average hospital stay of 62.8 days. Seventy-eight percent of patients required antibiotics (or had positive wound cultures); in 55.6% of these patients, polymicrobial infection was detected. No major complications were related to NPWT.
CONCLUSION: The study findings show that using NPWT in complex deep sternal and thoracic infections can enhance wound healing, shorten the hospital stay, and decrease morbidity and mortality secondary to wound infection in cardiothoracic patients.
