Awesome content and high yield topics that are broken down in an easily digestible manner. Everything enriched by enthusiasm and eagerness for teaching. Love it!!
I agree ! When I got started as a young doctor, a pretty much experienced surgeon mentioned "Surgery is very simple!"- years later I realized how simple ( and how beautiful) surgery became to my life!@@citizensurgeon
A driveline infection is an infection that occurs at the exit site of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) driveline. A surgical site infection is an infection that occurs at the incision site of any surgery. In the case of LVAD implantation, the surgical site infection could occur at the incision site where the pump is implanted, or at the incision site where the driveline is inserted. The main difference between a driveline infection and a surgical site infection is the location of the infection. Driveline infections occur at the exit site of the driveline, while surgical site infections occur at the incision site of the surgery. Driveline infections are more common than surgical site infections. The risk of developing a driveline infection is about 10%. The risk of developing a surgical site infection is about 2%.
