Depending on the type of surgery and anticipated contamination associated with it, combinations of different agents or different routes of administration (e.g. intravenous and oral antibiotics) might be beneficial in reducing perioperative adverse events. [6] [7] For prophylaxis in surgery, only antibiotics with good tolerability should be used.
Of the 210 patients, 14 (6.8%) developed SSIs. Skin, nasal, and rectal samples were taken before surgery from most patients. Whole genome sequencing of 22 SSI samples revealed that 86% were similar to bacterial strains found on the patients' skin before surgery. Further analysis of 59 additional SSIs in the same hospital showed no common ...
SCIP-INF-2: Prophylactic antibiotic selection for surgical patients (added 2007) SCIP-INF-3: Prophylactic antibiotics discontinued within 24 h after surgery end time (48 h for cardiac patients) SCIP-INF-4: Cardiac surgery patients with controlled 6 A.M. postoperative serum glucose management (≤200 mg/dL) (added 2008)
Premedication is using medication before some other therapy (usually surgery or chemotherapy) to prepare for that forthcoming therapy.Typical examples include premedicating with a sedative or analgesic before surgery; using prophylactic (preventive) antibiotics before surgery; and using antiemetics or antihistamines before chemotherapy.
The World Health Organization (WHO) published the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist in 2008 in order to increase the safety of patients undergoing surgery. [1] The checklist serves to remind the surgical team of important items to be performed before and after the surgical procedure in order to reduce adverse events such as surgical site infections or retained instruments.

Many measures before a parotidectomy may be instituted before surgery. Some of these include diagnostic imaging, fine-needle aspiration, neck dissection, and antibiotic prophylaxis (treatment to prevent). [1] Diagnostic imaging - computer tomography (CT) scans or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Complications of postsurgical wounds can be reduced before, during and after surgery. Some measures such as antibiotic prophylaxis before caesarean section and hernial repair are useful in reducing surgical site infection. Intravenous prophylactic antibiotics are recommended, to be administered within one hour from the beginning of the surgical ...
Inguinal hernia surgery is an operation to repair a weakness in the abdominal wall that abnormally allows abdominal contents to slip into a narrow tube called the inguinal canal in the groin region. There are two different clusters of hernia: groin and ventral (abdominal) wall.
