Infectious complications after cardiovascular surgery, especially in operations that use cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), is associated with significant morbidity and increase in peri-operative mortality. Prolonged CPB usage could be predictive for early bloodstream infection following cardia surgery. This study is to analyse the demographics and microbiological factors concerning patients undergoing cardio surgical intervention using CPB complicated with bloodstream infection (BSI) postoperatively.
