Abstract

Introduction

Mediastinitis is a severe complication of heart surgery well described in the adult population. However very few studies focused on the description of mediastinitis and its outcomes in pediatric patients.

Objective

To describe the clinical features and outcomes of postoperative mediastinitis in children and identify risk factors for mortality.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed all children with mediastinitis over a period of 10 years (2013–2023). Mediastinitis was defined by a purulent discharge of the mediastinum requiring surgery or organisms cultured from discharge of the mediastinal area.

Results

The incidence of mediastinitis was 0.74% (57 cases). Median age at surgery was 12 days with 67% patients younger than 3 months old. Sixty percent had delayed sternal closure. Median delay between surgery and diagnosis was 8 days (range: 2–39). The most frequent germs were Staphylococcus (46%), gram negative bacteria (35%) and fungi (9%). All patients had surgical debridement: 46 (81%) in the operating room and 11 (19%) in the ICU. Median duration of antibiotic therapy was 44 days. Median duration of stay was 21 days (range: 10–113) in the ICU and 35 days (range: 11–188) until hospital discharge. Outcomes in the ICU included a median of 8 days of assisted ventilation. Nine patients needed veno-arterial ECMO. Mortality rate was 27% with 12 out of 15 deaths occurring in the ICU. Mortality risk factors were surgical revision in the ICU compared to the operating room (OR 4.9; CI95% 1.3 to 19.9), delayed sternal closure superior to 3 days (OR: 5.0; 95% CI: 1.3 to 16.5) and fungal mediastinitis (OR: 14.9; 95% CI: 2.0 to 185.4).

Conclusion

Mediastinitis leads to high mortality and morbidity in children. Mortality risk factors are: surgical revision in the ICU, prolonged delayed sternal closure and fungus infection. Patients with prolonged delayed sternal closure should be regularly screened for fungal colonization to prevent fungal mediastinitis.

儿童术后纵隔炎的治疗效果
导言纵隔炎是一种严重的心脏手术并发症,在成人人群中已有大量描述。目的 描述儿童术后纵隔炎的临床特征和预后,并确定导致死亡的风险因素。方法 我们回顾性研究了 10 年间(2013-2023 年)所有患有纵隔炎的儿童。纵隔炎的定义是纵隔出现化脓性分泌物,需要进行手术治疗,或从纵隔部位的分泌物中培养出病原体。手术年龄中位数为12天,67%的患者年龄小于3个月。60%的患者胸骨闭合延迟。手术与诊断之间的中位延迟时间为 8 天(范围:2-39)。最常见的病菌是葡萄球菌(46%)、革兰氏阴性菌(35%)和真菌(9%)。所有患者都进行了手术清创:46例(81%)在手术室进行,11例(19%)在重症监护室进行。抗生素治疗的中位持续时间为 44 天。重症监护室的中位住院时间为 21 天(10-113 天不等),出院前为 35 天(11-188 天不等)。重症监护室中位辅助通气时间为 8 天。九名患者需要静脉-动脉 ECMO。死亡率为 27%,15 例死亡中有 12 例发生在重症监护室。死亡率风险因素包括:与手术室相比,在重症监护室进行手术翻修(OR 4.9;CI95% 1.3 至 19.9)、胸骨闭合延迟超过 3 天(OR:5.0;95% CI:1.3 至 16.5)以及真菌性纵隔炎(OR:14.9;95% CI:2.0 至 185.4)。死亡率风险因素包括:在重症监护室进行手术翻修、胸骨闭合延迟时间过长和真菌感染。长期延迟胸骨闭合的患者应定期进行真菌定植筛查,以预防真菌性纵隔炎。
