  2. Total for Treatment of One Mediastenitis Case $235,846.32

  3. PATIENT PROFILE WITH MEDIASTENITIS • 48 YEAR OLD WHITE MALE • HISTORY OF HTN, HYPERLIPIDEMIA • SMOKING, INSULIN DEPENDENT DIABETES • SEVERE 3 VESSEL CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE • PREVIOUS HEART ATTACK

  4. HOSPITAL COURSE • UNDERWENT 3 VESSEL BYPASS • PURULENT DRAINAGE FROM STERNAL WOUND 5 DAYS AFTER THE SURGERY • UNDERWENT REOPERATION FOR STERNAL DBRIEDEMENT AND CLOSURE

  5. HOSPITAL COURSE • REQUIRED 6 WEEKS OF VANCOMYCIN TREATMENT FOR MRSA INFECTION • 3 WEEKS OF HOSPITALIZATION AND 3 WEEKS OF HOME HEALTH CARE • REQUIRED 5 WEEKS OF OPEN WOUND DRESSING CHANGES

  6. MEDIASTINITIS • INFECTION OF THE STERNUM • INCIDENCE OF MEDIASTENITIS IS 1-6% • MOST DEVESTATING POST OPERATIVE COMPLICATION • REQUIRES MULTIPLE OPERATIONS • SOMETIMES REQUIRES RESECTION OF THE STERNUM WITH MUSCLE FLAP

  7. MEDIASTINITIS

  8. MEDIASTINITIS • 2% RISK OF INFECTION IS QUOTED TO PATIENTS • IF NOT DIAGNOSED EARLY WILL LEAD TO DEATH 100% OF THE TIME

  9. WHY DO I DO IT • OUT OF 450 CASES LAST YEAR WE HAD 5 MEDIASTINITIS AND NUMEROUS LEG INFECTIONS • ONE DEATH FROM SEVERE SEPTECEMIA • TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF COST • MANY CASES OF CLEAR DRAINAGE FROM THE WOUNDS

  10. Technique • 110ml of blood is drawn • Two GPS disposables are processed • - One for the sternum • - One for the graft harvest site on the leg

  11. After chest wires are put in but before tightening, half of the platelet rich plasma (PRP) is sprayed along the exposed sternal edges.

  12. The wires are then tightened and the remaining PRP is sprayed over the subcutaneous tissue.

  13. Platelet Poor Plasma (PPP) is then applied to each layer upon closure. Leave PPP is place and sew through PPP gel. Do not lap up after applying.

  14. PRP Application Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is delivered through a long, dual cannula and backfilled along the graft harvest site.

  15. PPP Application After applying Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) to the leg, apply the Platelet Poor Plasma (PPP) in the same fashion with a long, dual cannula tip.

  16. RESULTS • 700 CASES TO DATE • ONE CASE OF MEDIASTINITIS AND ONE LEG INFECTION • RAPID WOUND HEALING • EXTREMELY SMALL NUMBER WITH WOUND DRAINAGE

  17. THANK YOU
