Abstract

Deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) is a rare but potentially devastating complication of median sternotomy performed in cardiac surgery. This report summarizes the nursing management of two pediatric cases with a DSWI treated using Do It Yourself (DIY) negative pressure suction (DIY-NPS) after surgery. The technique maintains a continuous suction pressure of 75 mmHg and intermittently flushes small volumes of fluid to stimulate granulation tissue formation and control systemic infection. After the formation of fresh granulation tissue, both patients achieved successful wound healing and were discharged in good condition.

病例报告：回顾两例儿童胸骨深创面感染在心前手术后采用简单负压封闭引流技术治疗。

胸骨深部伤口感染（DSWI）是心脏手术中胸骨正中切开术的一种罕见但具有潜在破坏性的并发症。本报告总结了两例儿童DSWI术后采用DIY负压吸引（DIY- nps）治疗的护理管理。该技术保持75毫米汞柱的连续吸压，间歇地冲洗小体积液体，以刺激肉芽组织的形成，控制全身感染。在新鲜肉芽组织形成后，两例患者伤口均成功愈合，出院情况良好。
