Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy (IOSRPHR) - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
: An estimated 40-60% of SSI are preventable with appropriate use of prophylactic antibiotics. The major infectious complications of caesarean delivery are fever, wound infection, endometritis and urinary tract infection. Prevention of surgical site infection is the major goal of antibiotic prophylaxis. Postoperative surgical site infection remains a major source of illness and a less frequent cause of death in the surgical patient. The administration of prophylactic antibiotics with in specific interval has been shown to reduce the burden of surgical site infection, but adherence to proper timing guidelines remains problematic. Judicious use of antibiotics in the hospital through effective antibiotic policy and guideline development is then essential.Keywords: Cesarean section, Post Caesarean infectious complication, Prophylactic antibiotics, Surgical antibiotic prophylaxis, Surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis.
