Q

GBS prophylactic treatment indications

A

If no swab was done, tx based on following risk factors:

  • Preterm labour <37wks
  • Maternal temp >38C (suggests chorioamnionitis)
  • Prolonged rupture of membranes >18h if symptomatic
  • GBS bacteriuria in pregnancy
  • Prev GBS w/ documented early onset GBS sepsis

Q

GBS antibiotic treatment

A

Penicillin G 5 million units IV x1 then Penicillin G 2.5million U IV q4h until delivery
If Pen allergic, but no risk of anaphylaxis –> Ancef 2g IV x1, then Ancef 1g IV q8h
If pen allergic and risk of anaphylaxis, clindamycin 900mg IV q8h
If resistant to clindamycin, use vancomycin
