Timing of antimicrobial prophylaxis and the risk of surgical site infections: Results from the trial to reduce antimicrobial prophylaxis errors. Ann Surg 2009;250(1): Introduction 2.1 Purpose This guideline is to provide a standardised approach to the appropriate use and prescribing of surgical antibiotic prophylaxis to minimise surgical site infections. The objective of this guideline is to minimise the selection of antibiotic-resistant organisms and promote safe and effective antibiotic prescribing. Inappropriate prescribing is wasteful and may endanger patient wellbeing. The primary basis for decision-making approval is the latest edition of the Therapeutic Guidelines Scope and Context This guideline applies to all staff working within Mater Health (MH) relating to paediatric patients who require surgical antibiotic prophylaxis. 3 Guidelines 3.1 General Information a. The process for administration of antibiotic prophylaxis should be standardised to ensure consistent, timely administration. There is evidence to suggest that optimal timing of antibiotic prophylaxis prior to surgery is within the period minutes. Thus it is recommended that antibiotics be administered within this window. Antibiotics requiring longer infusion times should be administered such that the infusion is complete during this time. b. The guidelines for surgical antibiotic prophylaxis and the administration process should be reviewed regularly and in accordance with the published Therapeutic Guidelines. 1 c. The choice of antibiotic should be in accordance with the published Therapeutic Guidelines and be guided by previous microbiological results and known colonisations. For further advice please contact Infectious Diseases. d. Implementation of these recommendations will mean that the health service has taken responsible steps to respond to the legal duty to improve the quality of care provided with regard to the surgical antibiotic prophylaxis standard. e. The current MH recommendations are available in all operating theatres and via the Intranet. f. Compliance with surgical antibiotic prophylaxis will be monitored via the Infection Control surgical site surveillance program and results reported to the Infection Control Committees and the Health Quality and Complaints Commission (HQCC). g. Antibiotic dose and timing must be clearly and accurately documented on the anaesthetic record. Document Title: Guidelines for Surgical antibiotic prophylaxis paediatric patients Page 4 of 12
