Objective: Today, despite many recent improvements in intraoperative management and postoperative care, late pericardial effusions remain an important cause of morbidity after cardiac surgery. Because of widespread use of chronic anticoagulation and increased complexity of operations, the incidence of effusion may be higher. Thus we need to update the information on the symptoms, risk factors, diagnostic methods and treatment of Postoperative pericardial effusion syndrome. Patients and methods: A cross-sectional and prospective study of all patients admitted to hospital because of pericardial effusion after open heart surgery from 1/2010 to 9/2012. Study the clinical characteristics, paraclinicals, evaluate the results of treatment of pericardial effusion after open heart surgery. Results: Symptoms of pericardial effusion are nonspecific. Some patients with pericardial effusion report minimal problems. In the present study, few patients have the classic presentation of tamponade. Echocardiography is the diagnostic accuracy pericardial effusion after open heart surgery. This treatment mainly is pericardial drainage with 100%. Conclusion: Pericardial effusion is a common complication after open-heart surgery, symptoms of pericardial effusion are nonspecific to diagnostic method is echocardiographic surveillance.patients can be treated with internal medicine if has no tamponade and less fliuds. Pericardial drainage is absolute only in patients with pericardial effusion with signs of cardiac tamponade or pericardial many of effusion.

Abstract Background Candida species are among the most frequent causative agents of health care–associated bloodstream infections, with mortality >40% in critically ill patients. Specific populations of critically ill patients may present peculiar risk factors related to their reason for intensive care unit admission. The primary objective of the present study was to assess the predictors of candidemia after open heart surgery. Methods This retrospective, matched case–control study was conducted in 8 Italian hospitals from 2009 to 2016. The primary study objective was to assess factors associated with the development of candidemia after open heart surgery. Results Overall, 222 patients (74 cases and 148 controls) were included in the study. Candidemia developed at a median time (interquartile range) of 23 (14–36) days after surgery. In multivariable analysis, independent predictors of candidemia were New York Heart Association class III or IV (odds ratio [OR], 23.81; 95% CI, 5.73–98.95; P < .001), previous therapy with carbapenems (OR, 8.87; 95% CI, 2.57–30.67; P = .001), and previous therapy with fluoroquinolones (OR, 5.73; 95% CI, 1.61–20.41; P = .007). Crude 30-day mortality of candidemia was 53% (39/74). Septic shock was independently associated with mortality in the multivariable model (OR, 5.64; 95% CI, 1.91–16.63; P = .002). No association between prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time and candidemia was observed in this study. Conclusions Previous broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy and high NYHA class were independent predictors of candidemia in cardiac surgery patients with prolonged postoperative intensive care unit stay.
