A statistical analysis of 628 consecutive catheter tip cultures is presented. All were from patients undergoing open-heart surgery. The previously noted effects of early removal are shown to be significant. The possible effects of stasis, flushing, handling, and place of insertion are discussed. The unresolved significance of isolations of aerobic sporing bacilli is noted, and a decreasing incidence of postoperative infective endocarditis in the same group of patients is an encouraging sign.
本文对628例连续的导管尖端培养结果进行了统计分析。所有样本均来自接受心脏直视手术的患者。早期拔除导管的先前所述效果显示具有显著性。文中还讨论了淤滞、冲洗、操作及插入部位可能产生的影响。文中指出需氧芽孢杆菌分离的意义仍未明确,且同一组患者术后感染性心内膜炎发病率的下降是一个令人鼓舞的迹象。
