| Popis: | Deep surgical site infections (DSSI) are a major complication after cardiac surgery with a high mortality rate and reported incidences between 0.5 and 5%. Implementing a comprehensive infection control program (ICP) reduces this incidence [1]. The incidence in our hospital varied from 3.1 to 3.8%, which was considered too high. We evaluated the impact of introducing a multimodal ICP on the incidence of DSSI. |
