The published STS guideline indicates that there is no reason to extend antibiotics beyond 48 hours for cardiac surgery and very explicitly states that antibiotics should not be extended beyond 48 hours even with tubes and drains in place for cardiac surgery. Rationale: goal of prophylaxis with antibiotics is to provide benefit to the patient with as little risk as possible. It is important to maintain therapeutic serum and tissue levels throughout the operation. Intraoperative re-dosing may be needed for long operations. However, administration Specifications Manual for National SCIP-Inf 3-1

2 of antibiotics for more than a few hours after the incision is closed offers no additional benefit to the surgical patient. Prolonged administration does increase the risk of Clostridium difficile infection and the development of antimicrobial resistant pathogens. Type of Measure: Process Improvement Noted s: n increase in the rate Numerator Statement: Number of surgical patients whose prophylactic antibiotics were discontinued within 24 hours after surgery end time (48 hours for CG or Other Cardiac Surgery) Included Populations: Not pplicable xcluded Populations: None Data lements: ntibiotic dministration Date ntibiotic dministration Time Surgery nd Date Surgery nd Time Denominator Statement: ll selected surgical patients with no evidence of prior infection Included Populations: n ICD-9-CM Principal Procedure Code or ICD-9-CM Other Procedure Codes of selected surgeries (refer to ppendix, Table 5.10 for ICD-9-CM codes) ND n ICD-9-CM Principal Procedure Code or ICD-9-CM Other Procedure Codes of selected surgeries (refer to ppendix, Table for ICD-9-CM codes) xcluded Populations: Patients who had a principal or admission diagnosis suggestive of preoperative infectious diseases (refer to ppendix, Table 5.09 for ICD-9-CM codes) Patients who were receiving antibiotics within 24 hours prior to arrival (except colon surgery patients taking oral prophylactic antibiotics) Patients who were receiving antibiotics more than 24 hours prior to surgery (except colon surgery patients taking oral prophylactic antibiotics) Patients who were diagnosed with and treated for infections within two days (3 days for CG and Other Cardiac Surgery) after Surgery nd Date Patients who did not receive any antibiotics during this hospitalization Patients less than 18 years of age Patients with physician documented infection prior to surgical procedure of interest Patients who had other procedures requiring general or spinal anesthesia that occurred within 3 days (4 days for CG and Other Cardiac Surgery) prior to or after the procedure of interest (during separate surgical episodes) during this hospital stay Patients whose procedure of interest occurred prior to date of admission Specifications Manual for National SCIP-Inf 3-2

Data ccuracy: bstracted antibiotics are those administered from the time of arrival through the first 48 hours (72 hours for CG or Other Cardiac Surgery) after the surgery end time. Refer to ppendix C, Table 2.1, which contains a complete listing of antibiotics. Measure nalysis Suggestions: Consideration may be given to relating this measure to SCIP- Inf-1 and 2 in order to evaluate to which aspects of antibiotic prophylaxis would most benefit from an improvement effort. The process-owners of the timing of discontinuation of antibiotics subsequent to surgery include physicians and their assistants, the post-surgical recovery team, as well as the postoperative nursing unit. y including the appropriate groups involved in the postoperative care process, one can more clearly ascertain where in the process the team may need to focus for improvement. Sampling: Yes, for additional information see the Sampling Section.
