[Screening for Staphylococcus aureus before heart surgery].
One patient out of four having to undergo an operation is a carrier of Staphylococcus aureus. This, notably in cases of heart surgery, increases the risk of developing a nosocomial infection with this very germ in the post-operative period. Nurses must implement appropriate care procedures to favour decolonisation and the education of these patients.
