This article focuses on prevention of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus in cardiovascular surgery patients. Mediastinitis is among the worst of the postoperative complications of cardiovascular surgery, with a mortality rate of 10%-47%. Effective prevention measures have the potential for enormous impact.
