초록

배경: 개심술후 발생하는 흉골감염은 심각한 합병증일 뿐만 아니라 술후 사망률을 높이는 한 요인이 된다. 저자들은 1999년 7월 집중치료실 및 수술장 이전을 계기로 이를 전후로한 환자들의 흉골감염 발생현황을 비교 분석함으로써 집중치료실 및 수술장 개선이 흉골감염에 미치는 영향을 알고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 집중치료실 및 수술장 이전 시점을 전후로 하여 1997년 1월 1일부터 1998년 12월 31일까지 개심술을 시행받은 환자 237명을 Group I으로, 2000년 1월 1일부터 2001년 7월 31일까지 개심술을 시행받은 환자 216명을 Group II로 분류하여 총 453명을 대상으로 하였다. 만 15세 이상의 성인 환자에서 정중흉골절개술 및 심폐바이패스를 시행한 경우만을 포함하였고 흉골감염 이외의 원인으로 사망한 예는 포함하지 않았다. 결과: 흉골감염은 GroupI에서 18례(8.0%), Group II에서 1례(0.49%) 발생하였다. 흉골감염에 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려진 위험인자 중에서 응급수술여부, 심폐바이패스시간, 수술시간, 수혈량, 기관절개술유무, 재수술여부 등이 유의한 연관성이 있었으며, 이들을 대상으로 시행한 로지스틱 회귀분석에서 집중치료실과 수술장의 이전이 흉골감염에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.(p=0.029, 95% 신뢰구간 0.011∼0.788). 결론: 개심술후 흉골감염에 영향을 주는 여러 인자들이 알려져 있지만 집중치료실 및 수술장의 개선이 흉골감염의 발생을 줄일 수 있는 하나의 방법으로 생각된다.

Background: Sternal infection after open heart surgery is a serious complication associated with high rate of mortality. We reviewed the effect of improved operating room and intensive care unit un the sternal infection by analyzing the incidence and condition of that around the movement of operating room and intensive care unit in July 1997. Material and method: We reviewed a total of 453 patients. Group I contains 237 patients who underwent open heart surgery between January 1997 and December 1978 before we moved the intensive care unit and of operating room, and Group II contains 216 patients who underwent open heart surgery between January 2000 and July 2001 after we moved. We only included adult patients over age 15 who underwent cardiopulmonary bypass through median sternotomy and excluded the mortality cases except sternal infections in this study. Result: Sternal infection developed in 18 patients(8.0%) in Group I, and in only 1 patient(0.49%) in Group II. Emergency operation, cardiopulmonary bypass time, operation tilde, transfusion, tracheostomy, and reoperation are significantly associated with sternal infection among the known risk factors. The logistic regression analysis containing those six factors revealed that the movement of intensive care unit and operating roots is effective on the decreasing sternal infection(p=0.029, 95% confidence interval 0.011 ∼ 0.788). Conclusion: Although there have been studies on manly risk factors associated with the sternal infection after open heart surgery, we think that the improvement of operting room and intensive care unit is a method for decreasing the incidence of sternal infection.
