Summary
This study looks at whether adults who have had heart surgery can safely and effectively collect swabs from their own chest wound at home to check for infection. About 40 participants will use a special kit and be observed via video call to see if the samples are good enough for lab testing. The goal is to make infection monitoring easier and more cost-effective, reducing the need for hospital visits.
