Clean hearts - keeping little hearts infection free


Kids who need cardiothoracic surgery can be at risk of infection at the surgical site. At The Children's Hospital at Westmead, anaesthetists, cardiac surgeons, nursing staff, the Microbiology department and Pharmacy have worked together to improve their already high standard of patient care. Their work has been recognised, winning a major award in clinical excellence and improvement in patient safety at the 2010 NSW Health Baxter Awards. See the winning presentation here.
