Investigation of Mediastinitis Due to Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci After Cardiothoracic Surgery
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 June 2016
Abstract
Six cases of coagulase-negative staphylococcal mediastinitis were identified in the latter half of 1999. A new preoperative cleansing solution was suspected by hospital staff to be a factor in the outbreak. We evaluated this possible risk factor along with other known and suspected surgical site infection risk factors in this case-control study.
