The occurrence of fever (daily maximal temperature greater than or equal to 38 degrees C) was analyzed in 123 patients after open-heart operation. A statistical difference was found in the incidence of fever after the third postoperative day between patients without infection and patients with bacteremia, wound infection, or pneumonia. Fever after the third day should prompt a diligent search for deep-seated infection.
对123例心脏直视手术后患者的发热情况(每日最高体温大于或等于38摄氏度)进行了分析。未感染患者与发生菌血症、伤口感染或肺炎的患者在术后第三天后的发热发生率存在统计学差异。术后第三天后出现发热应促使仔细寻找深部感染。
