Análise da antibioticoprofilaxia no pré-operatório

Abstract

Objective: to evaluate whether antibiotic prophylaxis is performed properly in surgical patients at Hospital de Clínicas de Passo Fundo (HCPF). Methods: this is a cross-sectional study composed of patients who underwent any type of surgery at the HCPF Surgical Center in the months of october and november of 2019. Epidemiological data were collected from the patients as well as the type of surgery, the classification of the surgery, presence of current infection and use of antibiotic therapy prior to surgery, use or not use of antibiotic prophylaxis, antibiotic used in prophylaxis, time of antibiotic administration, duration of antibiotic administration and dose of the antibiotic used. The outcome analyzed was the use or not of antibiotic prophylaxis in the preoperative. Results: antibiotic prophylaxis was performed in 65,4% of surgical interventions that had an indication. The most used antibiotic was cefazolin and all administrations took place within an hour before surgery. There was no administration of new doses of the antibiotic during the procedure in any of the surgeries and the use of the antibiotic was discontinued within 24 hours in only 67,9% of the surgeries in which the antibiotic prophylaxis was performed. Conclusion: antibiotic prophylaxis was not performed adequately in the analyzed sample.
