Abstract

The Practice of Preoperative Antibiotic Prophylaxis and the Adherence to ASHP Guideline in Different Hospitals in Riyadh

Fuad Abdulrahman Alotaibi

Appropriately administered antibiotic prophylaxis reduces the incidence of surgical wound infection. Prophylaxis is uniformly recommended for all clean-contaminated, contaminated and dirty procedures. It is considered optional for most clean procedures, although it may be indicated for certain patients and clean procedures that fulfill specific risk criteria.
