“…Surgical site infections (SSI) are an important challenge in cardiac post-surgery patients, since they have a high impact in the recovery of patients and cause an expressive increase in hospital rates and expenditure, be it due to longer hospitalization times or to the need for interventions (1)(2) . Studies have pointed out an incidence of 0.9 to 20% of infections in sternum incisions, 25% of superficial infections, 5.8% of mediastinitis and a high mortality rate from this serious complication, varying from 14 to 47% (3)(4) .…”
