This project raised awareness of various factors influencing the risk of developing deep sternal wound infection, postoperative cerebravascular accident, and adverse cardiac events. It elevated attention to evidence-based research and improved outcomes relating to parameters of surgical antibiotic prophylaxis on risks of surgical site infection (SSI) following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Analysis of patient outcomes revealed CABG improvements were statistically significant and showed improvement after implementing improvement strategies. The project suggests improvement projects in hospitals to prevent CABG SSI should focus on a team approach and incorporate evidence-based practices as effective interventions and solutions.
