5 Prophylactic Antibiotics Questions Which cases benefit? Which drug should you use? When should you start? How much should you give? How long should antibiotics be continued?

6 Relative Benefit from Antibiotic Surgical Prophylaxis Operation Prophylaxis (%) Placebo (%) NNT* Colon Other (mixed) GI Vascular Cardiac Hysterectomy Craniotomy Spinal operation Total joint repl Brst & hernia ops

7 Antibiotic Prophylaxis Demonstrated Benefit: All Procedures?? Review of prophylaxis meta-analyses suggests that there is a consistent relative risk of wound infection less than one associated with antibiotic prophylaxis. This is independent of the type of operation or the baseline (placebo) rate of infection. Bowater. Ann Surg 2009;249:

8 Prophylaxis for Clean procedures? Relative reduction of SSI with prophylaxis is the same for all procedures Absolute reduction is less if baseline rate with placebo is less. Decision on whether to use depends on cost of prophylaxis ($, side effects, generating resistance) and the cost of the infection ($, disability, etc).

9 Prophylactic Antibiotics Questions Which cases benefit? Which drug should you use? When should you start? How much should you give? How long should antibiotics be continued?

36 When I started my residency in 1970 all When I started patients having colectomy got a bowel prep as inpatients before their operation, and we had just seen the first widely believed paper that demonstrated a beneficial effect of parenteral prophylactic antibiotics for patients having GI operations. Oral antibiotics were not used.

51 Conclusions -? If you are not going to give any oral antibiotics then the MBP is not necessary and there is a suggestion of harm along with more GI symptoms. However, if you are going to take my colon out I will suffer through the bowel prep and take oral antibiotics in advance of the operation for the lowest SSI rate!

70 Keeping Your Patient Warm in the O.R. Prewarming and active warming in the O.R. is much more important than the O.R. room temperature. If you raise O.R. room temperature from 20 o to 27 o, you still have an 10 o gradient between the patient s temperature and the room temperature and everyone in the room is miserable.

90 Glucose Levels & SSI The exact best level of glucose control in the perioperative period is not known. High glucose levels unequivocally increase the risk of SSI and other perioperative infections. Tight glucose control in the perioperative period is tricky. Hypoglycemia increases the risk of morbidity and mortality.
