4 Summary Of Adult Surgical Antibiotic Prophylaxis Guidelines For Acute Sector Staff Working Within NHS Grampian Introduction The aim of surgical prophylaxis is to reduce rates of surgical site and healthcareassociated infections (HAIs) and so reduce surgical morbidity and mortality. NHS Grampian surgical prophylaxis guidelines are primarily based on recommendations in SIGN Guideline (updated in April 2014), advice published by the Scottish Antimicrobial Prescribing Group (SAPG) 2, local information about surgical site infections and HAIs and expert advice from local clinicians. The following summary table lists the locally agreed antibiotic prophylaxis options for the majority of surgical procedures in NHS Grampian following consultation with the specialities. The overview of the principles of surgical antibiotic prophylaxis and the individual speciality guidelines should be referred to for further details on administration, redosing and classification of high risk patients.
