48 Peri-operative antibiotic prophylaxis in Trauma & Orthopaedics at SUHT in September 2008: Analysis of impact of new guidelines (flucloxacillin 1g x 4 plus gentamicin 160mg x 1) on renal function Dr Sarah Waldman FY1 Kieran Hand Consultant Pharmacist Anti-infectives Dr Ann Pallett Consultant Medical Microbiologist January 2009
49 Absolute changes in SCr N = 37 procedures Average SCr at baseline and post-op 120 Serum Creatinine (micromol/l Baseline SCr Post-op SCr 0 No Gent (n=8) 80mg (n=1) 100mg (n=1) 120mg (n=6) 160mg (n=21) Gentamicin exposure
50 Relative changes in SCr N = 37 procedures Relative changes in SCr by gentamicin exposure Number of patients (-) 20-30% (-) 10-20% +/- 10% (+) 10-20% (+) 20-30% (+) 30-40% (+) 40-50% (+) 50-60% Relative change in SCr from baseline to post-op peak None 80mg 100mg 120mg 160mg
51 Baseline renal function: poor predictor of SCr rises Peri-operative change in SCr by baseline egfr >90 ml/min Number of patients (-) 20-30% (-) 10-20% +/- 10% (+) 10-20% (+) 20-30% (+) 30-40% (+) 40-50% (+) 50-60%
52 SCr changes by age group: poor predictor of SCr rises 100 SCr changes by age-group (n=37) SCr (micromol/l) Pre-op SCr Post-op peak 0 30s (n=2) 40s (n=2) 50s (n=3) 60s (n=7) 70s (n=12) 80s (n=8) 90s (n=3)
53 Summary & Conclusions Around one third of 36 patients developed SCr rises >10% above baseline No patient developed an absolute SCr rise of >30μmol/L SCr increases of >30% above baseline were seen in: 2/8 patients who did not receive gentamicin 0/6 patients who received 120mg gentamicin 4/21 patients who received full-dose (160mg) gentamicin SCr increases of >50% above baseline were seen in: 2/21 patients who received 160mg gentamicin No patient had sustained elevation of SCr Baseline egfr, age group and vancomycin exposure were poor predictors of who would develop a SCr rise Recommendation: 2mg/kg gentamicin should be considered as the standard prophylactic dose providing no severe renal failure
