Main Factor

Cardiothoracic surgical (CTS) critical care responsibilities have progressively shifted away from surgeons and toward intensivists in the past several decades. CTS patients present unique challenges, and optimal patient care in the intensive care unit is a main factor for the prevention of deaths after any type of open heart surgery.

Penetration of teicoplanin into serum, heart valves, and subcutaneous and muscle tissues was determined in 22 patients undergoing open-heart surgery. Each patient received 12 mg of teicoplanin per kg of body weight as a 30-min intravenous infusion preoperatively. Within 10 h, serum concentrations of teicoplanin declined from 43.1 to 2.8 microg/ml. Teicoplanin concentrations in subcutaneous tissues reached their peak of 9.2 microg/g after 2 to 3 h and decreased slowly to 2.3 microg/g after 9 to 10 h. Concentrations in muscle decreased from 8.7 microg/g to nondetectable levels. Teicoplanin concentrations in cardiac valvular tissue reached their peak of 6.1 microg/g and decreased thereafter to 1.7 microg/g. Teicoplanin concentrations in heart valves were high enough to inhibit methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci, which are known to cause postoperative wound infections and infective endocarditis.
