Analysis of Infection-related Factors for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting / 药物流行病学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze infection-related factors for Coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG).Method: The cases undergoing operations with CABG from January to June in 2006 were 614.The records of the two sets of statistical indicators were kept and the data were analyzed to find the infection-related factors.Result:There were three factors related to infectionthe measure of anaesthesia,the time of hospitalization before surgical operations and the duration of prophylac- tic antibiotics treatment.Diabetes mellitus was not a risk factor in our study.Conclusion:In view of patients'health condi- tion,prophylactic antibiotics can be used to prevent infection in surgical operations.Shortening the time of hospitalization before surgical operations and adopting off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting can decrease the infection.CABG is as safe for diabetic patients as for non-diabetic patients.
