2 1. Medical conditions requiring prophylaxis & prevention of secondary cases of infectious diseases Condition Recommendations Prevention of endocarditis in patients with heart-valve lesion, septal defect, patent ductus, prosthetic valve or history of endocarditis Prevention of infection in patients with an absent or dysfunctional spleen Prevention of secondary case of meningococcal meningitis/septicaemia See guidelines in section 5.1, table 2 of BNF. Refer to infection control manual policy CG Guidelines for the Prevention of Infection in those with an Absent or Dysfunctional Spleen Discuss with Health Protection Unit ( during office hours or via switchboard out of hours). Refer to infection control manual policy CG Meningococcal Disease: Protocol for Diagnosis and Antibacterial Management Prevention of secondary case of Haemophilus influenzae type b disease Prevention of TB in susceptible close contacts or those who have become tuberculin positive Discuss with Health Protection Unit ( during office hours or via switchboard out of hours). Tetanus-prone wounds See chapter 30 'Immunisation against Infectious Diseases 2006' (the Green Book) cyandguidance/healthandso cialcaretopics/greenbook/d H_ See section 5.1, table 2 of BNF Discuss with Consultant Respiratory Physician (lead for TB) Source: Microbiology dept. Issue date: February 2008 Page 2 of 14
3 2. Surgical prophylaxis: general points This guideline is intended to help clinicians use the most appropriate antibiotics to prevent surgical site infection as well as reduce the incidence of side effects, including Clostridium difficile associated diarrhoea, and prevent the emergence of antibiotic resistant organisms. 2.1 Timing & Duration Antibiotics are given as single doses (unless stated) at induction to achieve maximum tissue concentrations at the time of operation. However, vancomycin must be given as an infusion over 100 minutes and consequently timed to commence on the ward 100 minutes before the operation (and in the case of orthopaedic surgery 100 minutes before application of the tourniquet). Where 5mg/kg gentamicin is given (see individual procedures) it must be given as an infusion over 60 minutes and therefore must be commenced on the ward 60 minutes before the operation. should not normally be given for more than 24 hours but additional doses of antibiotics may be required if there has been excessive blood loss or haemodilution or surgery has been prolonged. 2.2 MRSA & other multi-resistant organisms (e.g. ESBL-producing coliforms) Check patients notes and APEX results for evidence of these organisms before prescribing prophylaxis a) MRSA If the patient is known to be MRSA positive consider adding/substituting vancomycin. Teicoplanin should only be prescribed in situations where vancomycin cannot be used and after discussion with a Consultant Microbiologist. b) ESBL-producing coliforms There are very few antibiotic options for the treatment/prophylaxis of these multi-resistant bacteria and prophylaxis is likely to require the use of ertapenem or meropenem. Please discuss individual cases with the duty consultant microbiologist. 2.3 Penicillin allergy The most important side-effect of the penicillins is hypersensitivity which causes rashes and anaphylaxis and can be fatal. Allergic reactions to penicillins occur in 1 10% of exposed individuals; anaphylactic reactions occur in fewer than 0.05% of treated patients. Individuals with a history of anaphylaxis, urticaria, or rash immediately after penicillin administration are at risk of immediate hypersensitivity to a penicillin; these individuals should not receive a penicillin, a cephalosporin or another beta-lactam antibiotic. Individuals with a history of a minor rash (i.e. non-confluent rash restricted to a small area of the body) or a rash that occurs more than 72 hours after penicillin administration are probably not allergic to penicillin but the possibility of an allergic reaction should be borne in mind.

4 Alternative antibiotic options are given in the tables. Antibiotics to be avoided in major penicillin allergy: Amoxicillin / ampicillin Aztreonam Benzylpenicillin Cephalosporins (all) Carbapenems (meropenem, ertapenem) Co-amoxiclav Augmentin Flucloxacillin Phenoxymethylpenicllin / penicillin V Piperacillin/tazobactam Tazocin Antibiotics to be used with caution in those with non-severe allergy (minor rash) Aztreonam Cephalosporins (all) Carbapenems 2.4 Gentamicin Gentamicin prophylaxis will usually be given as a single dose of either 160mg, or 120mg for patients who weigh less than 60kg. Single doses of gentamicin do not require serum levels to be measured. Where additional doses are required to be given it is important to ensure that the dose and timing is appropriate for the patients weight and renal function to prevent over-dosing. Serum levels will need to be monitored. There are a few indications for gentamicin to be given at a treatment dose of 5mg/kg dose (these are detailed in the following tables). In these cases, the total dose needs to be calculated using the ideal body weight. This must be given as an infusion over 60 minutes and therefore needs to be commenced on the ward 60 minutes before the operation. Source: Microbiology dept. Issue date: February 2008 Page 4 of 14
5 Calculation of Ideal Body Weight For non obese patients use actual body weight For obese patients (>120% of Ideal Body Weight) use Obese Dosing Weight as calculated from the equations below. Male Ideal Body Weight (kg) = 50 + (2.3 x inches over 5 feet) Female Ideal Body Weight (kg) = (2.3 x inches over 5 feet) Obese Dosing Weight (in kg) = Ideal Body Weight (Actual Body Weight Ideal Body Weight) Please note that the maximum daily dose is 480mg Where gentamicin 5mg/kg once-daily is used and continued post-operatively for the treatment of infection (e.g. where extensive tissue soiling has occurred), serum levels will need to be assayed. Please refer to the Trust policy: CG Trust Guideline for the Use of Gentamicin as a Once Daily Dose in Adults. There is additional guidance in the Trust Antibiotic Guidelines CG Vancomycin Vancomycin should be given as an infusion over 100 minutes to complete before the operation commences. Where vancomycin is continued post-operatively please refer to the guidance in the pharmacy section of the pink book for monitoring serum levels. Single stat doses of vancomycin do not require serum levels to be measured. There is additional guidance in the Trust Antibiotic Guidelines CG Other points of consideration These guidelines MUST be used in conjunction with the patient s microbiology results. For example, do not automatically prescribe gentamicin prophylaxis if a gentamicin-resistant organism has been isolated. Check there are no contra-indications for your individual patient e.g. drug allergies, interactions with other medication, pregnancy etc and that the dose prescribed is appropriate for your patient s ideal weight & renal function. These guidelines cannot provide options for every eventuality. If in doubt, discuss with the duty consultant microbiologist. Source: Microbiology dept. Issue date: February 2008 Page 5 of 14
