Summary
This study looked at whether adults who had heart surgery can safely and effectively collect swabs from their chest wound at home to check for infection. 43 participants were given instructions and observed via video call while swabbing themselves or having a caregiver help. The goal was to see if this approach is acceptable to patients, provides usable samples, and could save money compared to clinic visits.
