Abstract

4—5 congenital heart defect cases per 1000 newborns are diagnosed worldwide. Some malformations require surgical methods of correction. Various risk factors contribute to the development of healthcare associated infections (HAIs). The HAIs are one of the leading causes of the prolongation of hospitalization length both in intensive care unit and in the inpatient departments, and they also play a significant role in increasing the number of lethal outcomes. A number of risk factors play an important role in the development of HAIs: the duration of post-operative mechanical ventilation, neonatal age, low birth weight, co-morbidities, including malformations of other body systems.
