ABSTRACT
This study characterizes the pharmacodynamics of antimicrobial prophylaxis and sternal wound infections following cardiac surgery. Duration of surgery and cefazolin plasma concentration during wound closure were independently associated with surgical site infection at 30 days. Furthermore, a duration of surgery of >346 min and a total cefazolin closure concentration of <104 mg/liter were significant thresholds for an increased risk of infection. This study provides new data that informs dosing strategies for effective antimicrobial prophylaxis (AP) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.
