“…Various approaches must be considered perioperatively to prevent SSI in cardiac surgery. Preoperative interventions include screening for S. aureus colonization, proper preparation of the patient for surgery, preoperative antiseptic showering, and proper hair removal techniques, especially with clippers [16][17][18]. Intraoperative management strategies to prevent SSI include strict adherence to the rules of sterilization, appropriate prophylactic antibiotic administration, shorter operation times, strict glycemic control, and minimization of electrocautery and bone wax usage [12][13][14].…”

Introduction: Surgical site infection (SSI) is a serious complication after cardiac surgery; skin preparation is an important step in the prevention of wound contamination with skin flora. In this study, two different skin preparation strategies (standard povidine iodine cleaning plus plain adhesive drape and microbial sealant (InteguSeal, Kimberly-Clark Health Care, Roswell, GA, USA) were compared in cardiac surgery patients. Methodology: This prospective study included 96 cardiac surgery patients randomized to either a standard plain adhesive drape (28 patients, control group) or a microbial sealant (68 patients, study group). Bacterial isolates were obtained from the wounds in the operating room before the skin incision and after the surgical procedure had ended. Results: Microorganisms were isolated from 38 patients (39.6%) in the study population. Twenty-seven of these patients were from the microbial sealant group and 11 were from the plain adhesive drape group. No postoperative wound infection was encountered in either group. No statistically significant differences between the two groups regarding the number of patients with microorganism isolation (p = 0.974) or postoperative leukocyte counts and neutrophil granulocyte percentages were observed. Conclusions: Regarding SSI after cardiac surgery, microbial sealant is equivalent to the standard skin preparation strategy applied with povidine iodine cleaning and a plain adhesive drape.

“…Chlorhexidine gluconate-containing products require several applications to attain maximum antimicrobial benefit, so repeated antiseptic showers are usually indicated [30]. Even though preoperative showers reduce the skin's microbial colony counts, they have not definitively been shown to reduce SSI rates [31,32].…”

These patients were distributed into two groups: Group A (n=224) and Group B (n=244), respectively before and after a new protocol. The two groups were compared by statistical analysis to determine differences in risk factors, the incidence of sternotomy surgical site infections (superficial and deep), recurrent infections and hospital readmission.Results Resumo Objetivo: Avaliar o impacto de novas medidas de prevenção e tratamento para infecções incisionais em cirurgia de revascularização do miocárdio (RM).Método
