“…8 Risk factors for development of mediastinitis in the pediatric population include young age, a higher American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, complex congenital heart lesions, hypothermia, hyperglycemia, and, in many reports, delayed sternal closure. 1-4, 6, 9 Management of mediastinitis is described in the literature and has evolved significantly in the past 50 years from debridement with simply open chest drainage 10 to closed chest drainage with antibiotic infusion catheters, 11,12 to radical sternal debridement and use of muscle flaps for dead space obliteration and coverage and now more recently the use of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) to in essence "seal" the chest wound. 13 …”

“…No Instituto Dante Pazzanese de Cardiologia, não foram observados casos de mediastinite em pacientes traqueostomizados. Os pacientes submetidos a este tipo de abordagem cirúrgica para ventilação mecânica estão sujeitos a contaminação do mediastino por secreção do trato respiratório superior, BRYANT et alti 5 Normalmente, os pacientes traqueostomizados estão seriamente enfermos, portanto já apresentam outros fatores predisponentes para desenvolvimento de complicações esternais 36. CHEUNG et a/II' 7 observam uma taxa significantemente elevada de infecção esternal em pacientes submetidos a cirurgias valvares , comparados com aqueles submetidos a outros procedimentos que não as valvas cardíacas . De acordo com os autores, este tipo de cirurgia está relacionado com a maior freqüência de comprometimento sistêmico ou reoperação, após um reparo valvar prévio ou uma substituição de valva.…”
