Nosocomial infection following video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.

Abstract

Objetivos: Estudiar la incidencia y los factores de riesgo de infección nosocomial en pacientes sometidos a una cirugía toracoscópica videoasistida. Métodos: Estudio de cohortes prospectivo de todos los pacientes a los que se practicó una toracoscopia videoasistida durante 20 meses consecutivos. Los pacientes se visitaron di ariamente hasta ser dados de alta hospitalaria. Resultados: Durante el periodo de estudio se le practicó una toracoscopia videoasistida a 217 pacientes (70,1% hom bres; edad media: 50,9 años, rango, 15-85 años). Se diagnosti caron 14 (6%) infecciones en 13 pacientes: 9 desarrollaron una infección de vías respiratorias bajas, 2 neumonía, 2 infección del sitio quirúrgico y 1 infección urinaria. En el análisis de re gresión logística el tener una inmusupresión previa, (odds ratio [OR] ajustada: 2,70; intervalo de confianza [IC] 95%, 1,52- 4,84), infección previa (OR: 14,9; IC 95% 1,91-116,5), estancia preoperatoria > 2 días (OR: 3,37; IC 95% 1,00-11,40), neoplasia (OR: 3,69; IC 95%, 1,94-7,06), duración de la cirugía > 45 min utes (OR: 5,91; IC 95%, 1,00-36,40) y la presencia de catéter venoso central (OR: 16,40; IC 95%, 2,29-117,20), se compor taron como factores independientes de riesgo de infección nosocomial. Conclusiones: La tasa de infección nosocomial después de una cirugía toracoscópica videoasistida es baja. Las infec ciones respiratorias fueron las más frecuentes. Los factores de riesgo independientes fueron los relacionados con la inmu nidad previa del paciente, la estancia prequirúrgica y el mo mento perioperatorio.

Objectives: To assess the incidence and risk factors for nosocomial infection after video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). Methods: Prospective cohort study of all consecutive pa tients who underwent VATS surgery during 20 months. Pa tients were visited on a daily basis and followed up until they were discharged from the hospital Results: During the study period 217 patients (70.1% men; mean age, 50.9 years, range 15-85 years) underwent VATS. Fourteen (6%) episodes of postoperative infection were diagnosed in 13 patients, including pneumonia (n = 2), lower respiratory tract infection (n = 9), surgical site infection (n = 2), and urinary tract infection (n = 1). Prior inmunosupresion (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 2.70; 95% confidence interval [CI],1.52-4.84), prior infections (OR, 14.9; 95% CI 1.91-116.5), pre operative stay > 2 days (OR, 3.37; 95% CI 1.00-11.40), neopla sia (OR, 3.69; 95% CI, 1.94-7.06) duration of surgery > 45 min utes (OR, 5.91; 95% CI, 1.00-36.40) and presence of central venous catheter (OR, 16.40; 95% CI, 2.29-117.20), were inde pendent risk factors for nosocomial infection. Conclusions: Nosocomial infection rate after VATS was low. Respiratory infection was the most common infection. Factors which affect patient immunity, preoperative stay and perioperative-related variables were independently associated with infection.
