1. Vacuum-Assisted Closure Therapy - A new Treatment Modality in Poststernotomy Mediastinitis
Sammanfattning : Poststernotomy mediastinitis is a devastating complication associated with median sternotomy, which occurs mainly after cardiac surgery. The optimal treatment is still controversial. LÄS MER
2. Wound Infection Following Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery : Risk Factors and the Experiences of Patients
Sammanfattning : The primary aim was to register the incidence of surgical wound infections (SWI) in sternotomy and leg incisions and potential risk factors for SWI following coronary artery by-pass graft (CAGB) procedures. Patients’ perspectives of SWI and the subsequent treatment were also considered. Risk factors were registered for 374 patients. LÄS MER
3. Staphylococci in cardio-thoracic surgery : Epidemiological and clinical studies
Sammanfattning : Mediastinitis complicating cardio-thoracic surgery causes suffering to the patient and huge costs to the society. It is often caused by methicillin resistant S. epidermidis (MRSE) and S. aureus. LÄS MER
4. Local Collagen-Gentamicin for Prevention of Sternal Wound Infections
