[Infectious complications after heart surgery].
In the paper the authors report their experience with the prophylaxis and treatment of infectious complications in 393 patients operated upon the heart. An increase of the specific weight of gram-negative bacteria as an etiological cause of infection and also the increase incidence of infection as the main or sole cause of mortality ill patients, operated upon under artifical circulation, were noted. Based on the study of various combinations of antibiotics against principal agents of surgical infection, it was found that a combination of bactericidal drugs such such as ampicillin with gentamycin or carbencillin with gentamycin proved to be the most effective and safe. Tetraolean was shown to be not effective enought against pyocyanic bacillus. Some information concerning the dosage and methods of using various antibiotics and their combinations for prophylaxis and treatment of suppurative complications is reported.
