Abstract

Introduction: Nosocomial infections in patients who undergp cardiac surgery are significant complication that increase hospital stay, morbidity and mortality. In the present study, different risk factors: presurgical, surgical and post-surgical could be related to nosocomial infections as described. Methods: This is a descriptive retrospective study of patients admitted to the cardiac surgical ward at Carlos Andrade Marín Hospital in the period, September 2014 to September 2015. Results: During the period under review 291 patients were admitted for surgical resolution of heart diseases. Among them, 43 (14.7%) developed nosocomial infections. There were 22 women and 21 men, with a mean age of 56.8 (SD) (12.8). The main types of nosocomial infections were upper respiratory tract, 36%; uncomplicated lower urinary tract infection; 34.8%; superficial and deep surgical site infection, 15%; nosocomial pneumonia 7%, mediastinitis 7%; pyopericardium, 2%. Discusion: Around 43 % of infections in our patientes were caused by gram-negative bacteria, suggesting the need to use employ a broad spectrum coverage against these microorganisms until bacteriological results are known.
