Meanings of postoperative pneumonia in английском

Bacteria were isolated again from the sputum of postoperative pneumonia patients.

Results: Among the patients with postoperative pneumonia, about a half received inadequate initial antimicrobial therapy.

Two deaths were attributed to major wound complications: one patient had a carotid blowout; one had postoperative pneumonia.

Conclusions: Perioperative oral chlorhexidine significantly decreases the incidence of nosocomial infection and postoperative pneumonia in patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery.

We analyzed the influence of the appropriateness of initial antibiotic therapy on outcome of postoperative pneumonia using logistic regression analysis.

Objective: To identify preoperative factors associated with an increased risk of postoperative pneumonia and subsequently develop and validate a risk calculator.

The validated risk calculator provides a risk estimate for postoperative pneumonia and is anticipated to aid in surgical decision making and informed patient consent.

Conclusion: The outcomes of patients with postoperative pneumonia could be improved by avoiding concomitant intraabdominal abscess, reducing surgical insult, and administering appropriate antimicrobial agents.

Postoperative pneumonia is the most common infection after lung transplantation (40%).
