Independent risk factors and outcomes for ventilator-associated pneumonia due to multidrug-resistant organisms after cardiac valvular surgery
Postoperative MDRO VAP in patients undergoing cardiac valvular surgery is linked to severe clinical outcomes. Greater attention should be given to patients with prolonged mechanical ventilation, extended broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy, and preoperative hypoalbuminemia to prevent MDRO VAP infections.
