Infections and outcomes after cardiac surgery—The impact of outbreaks traced to transesophageal echocardiography probes
2019
Background
Infections are a frequent complication of cardiac surgery. The intraoperative use of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) may be an underrecognized risk factor for post‐operative infections. The aim of this study was to investigate infection rates and outcomes after cardiac surgery in a nationwide cohort, especially in relation to periods where surface damaged TEE probes were used.
