Q

SAP indicated for

A

clean surgery when implant is inserted

clean contaminated surgery always need SAP

contaminated surgery needs AB used as treatment not prophylaxis

always needed for immunocompromised pts or those w conditions that increase risk of SSI

Q

MRSA choice of AB for SAP

A

screen for MRSA for pts who are going through high risk surgeries (cardiac, orthopedic, neurosurgery with implant)

use vancomycin for pts w known MRSA colonisation recent MRSA infection

can add cefazolin to Vanco to cover MSSA in MRSA colonised patients

31
Q

choice of AB for SAP in B lactam allergy

A

verify true allergy
If severe penicillin allergy (anaphylaxis, urticaria, angioedema, SJS, TEN), should not receive a B lactam

If uncomplicated non IgE mediated reaction to penicillin eg maculopapular rash –> consider cephalosporins or cefazolin which has unique R1 side chain

32
Q

when to start administration before surgical incision

A

30 - 60 min

but for Vanco and FQs, start 60-120 min before

33
Q

when is intra operative re dosage required

A

when duration of exposure exceeds 2 half lives of drug or extensive blood loss (more than 1.5l) or extensive burns

34
Q

duration of SAP should not exceed

A

24h

35
Q

what happens if SAP given more for than 24h

A

risk of Cdiff infection, acute kidney injury, increase section pressure and risk or MDR orgs

36
Q

non SAP strategies

A

don’t remove hair unless necessary and don’t shave (use depilators or clippers)

control post op blood glucose to be below 180mg/dL

maintain normothermia (more than 35.5) during peri op period

use alcohol contains pre op skin prep agents

maintain adequate oxygenation of tissue

use impervious plastic wound protectors for GI and biliary tract surgery

37
