https://doi.org/10.17802/2306-1278-2025-14-6S-273-290
Abstract
Highlights
- This analytical review aims to examine the features of the epidemic process of healthcare-associated infections in cardiac surgery.
- Based on the data described, risk-oriented technologies are considered an effective system for preventing infectious adverse events.
Abstract
The review is dedicated to a comprehensive analysis of the epidemic process of healthcare-associated infections in cardiac surgery. Despite the rapid development of high-tech and minimally invasive methods for treating circulatory system diseases, the problem of infectious complications after heart surgery remains extremely acute. Cardiac surgery patients present in severe condition, and the surgeries themselves carry a high risk of complications, characterized by significant prevalence, mortality, and colossal economic damage. The main forms of healthcare-associated infections, their pathogens, as well as risk factors and modern prevention approaches are described in detail. Priority is given to risk-oriented technologies as the most effective system for preventing adverse events in cardiac surgery.
