Management guidelines for cardiac implantable electronic device infections exist, but practice patterns of infectious disease (ID) specialists are not well known. We found that while many ID specialist practices mirror existing guidelines, a combination of complete device removal and prolonged antimicrobial therapy is favored when Staphylococcus aureus is involved.
心脏植入式电子设备感染的管理指南已经存在,但传染病(ID)专家的实践模式尚不为人所知。我们发现,虽然许多ID专家的做法符合现有指南,但当涉及金黄色葡萄球菌时,倾向于采用完全移除设备并延长抗菌治疗的联合方法。
