About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
According to the literature, presepsin was recommended not only as an effective indicator in the diagnosis of sepsis in intensive care units, but also as a reliable prognostic marker of postoperative inflammatory processes in cardiac surgery. Previous study carried out in Petrovsky NRCS related to biomarkers in cardiac surgery and presepsin in particular showed good sensitivity in infection complications prognosis.
The 2 groups in the trial
- Ampicillin/sulbactam intervention groupTreatment being tested
If a patient meets dual criteria (presepsin \> 519,5 pg/ml at the end of surgery and the absence of presepsin increase after 6 hours after the end of surgery) then switching to ampicillin/sulbactam 3 g every 6 hours at least 72 h after the surgery is done.
Treatment: Ampicillin-sulbactam
- CefazolinNo study treatment, for comparison
If presepsin \< 519,5 pg/ml at the end of surgery, cefazolin 2 g every 6 h at least 72 h p/o is continued further
