Objetivo: Descrever a ocorrência da infecção do sítio cirúrgico em pacientes submetidos à revascularização do miocárdio e/ou implante de valva cardíaca e seu perfil epidemiológico. Método: Tratou-se de estudo retrospectivo, realizado em hospital de grande porte. Os dados foram coletados nos prontuários dos pacientes de cirurgias entre 2011 e 2015. Realizou-se estatística descritiva e análise bivariada pelo Epi-info 6.4. Resultados: Foram revisados 280 prontuários de pacientes com idade média de 58 anos. As principais comorbidades encontradas nesses pacientes foram hipertensão arterial e dislipidemia, sendo comum ainda a febre reumática naqueles com implante de prótese valvar. Foram diagnosticadas 52 infecções do sítio cirúrgico, sendo 32 (61,5%) durante a internação e 20 (38,5%) por reinternação. As infecções incisionais superficiais foram prevalentes seguidas de órgão/cavidade. A idade, tempo de internação total e no pós-operatório e dias no Centro de Terapia Intensiva após a cirurgia foram associadas à ocorrência infecciosa em órgão/cavidade. O tempo médio de internação foi de 18,1 dias nos pacientes sem infecção e 25,4 naqueles com infecção. Conclusão: É imprescindível investir em medidas de prevenção de infecções que envolvem equipes assistenciais, profissionais de controle de infecção e núcleos de segurança na busca de melhores práticas assistenciais. ABSTRACT Objective:The study aimed to describe the occurrence of surgical site infection in patients submitted to myocardial revascularization and/or cardiac valve implantation as well as its epidemiological profile. Method: This was a retrospective study performed at a large hospital. Data were collected from patients' records of surgeries performed from 2011 to 2015. Descriptive statistics and bivariate analysis were performed using Epi-info 6.4. Results: We reviewed 280 patient records with a mean age of 58 years old. The main comorbidities found in those patients were arterial hypertension and dyslipidemia and, in those patients with valve prosthesis, rheumatic fever was common. Fifty-two (52) surgical site infections were diagnosed, 32 (61.5%) happening during the hospitalization and 20 (38.5%) in re-hospitalization. The superficial incisional infections were prevalent followed by organ/cavity. Age, total and post-operative hospitalization time, and days at the Intensive Care Center Unit after surgery were associated to infectious occurrence in organ/cavity. The mean time of hospitalization was 18.1 days in patients without infection and 25.4 in those with infection. Conclusion: It is imperative to invest in infection prevention measures involving care teams, infection control professionals and safety centers in the search for better care practices.
