Mediastinitis was defined as a deep infection of the surgical site, requiring revision surgery with positive bacteriological samples, or a macroscopic aspect of infection.Mortality risk factors were sought from data relating to the patient, the initial surgery, the post-CEC operative follow-up, and the pre-, per- and postoperative management of revision surgery.Results: 55 patients were included. The mortality rate in these patients was 30.9%.The risk factors incriminated in the multivariate analysis were age over 60 years and admission in a critical condition, in contrast to a preserved LVEF, which was a protective factor.The microorganisms most frequently identified in bacteriological cultures were staphylococci, mainly aureus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Haifa Mtir\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3330336110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783330336117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Our Knowledge Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/25\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.15d","brand":"Haifa Mtir","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48446095753471,"sku":"9783330336117","price":63.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d3c06ded-01a6-4a0e-a058-385f83eba69b.jpg?v=1777222564","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mediastinitis-following-cardiac-surgery-haifa-mtir-9783330336117","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
