SHC Surgical Antimicrobial Prophylaxis Guidelines
I. Purpose/Background
This document is based upon the 2013 consensus guidelines from American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP), the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), the Surgical Infection Society (SIS) and the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) (1). The Stanford Antimicrobial Safety and Sustainability Program, in conjunction with the anesthesiology and surgical departments, adapted its content to SHC as part of the 2015 SSI Taskforce.
1. Choice of antibiotics: Please see table I for acceptable choices of antibiotics based upon surgical procedure. Consider the addition of vancomycin or clindamycin for patients known to be colonized with MRSA.
2. Dose of antibiotics: Please see Table II for dosing and re-dosing guidelines. We recommend weightbased dosing of both cefazolin and vancomycin. Cefazolin should be administered every 4 hours; clindamycin every 8 hours; vancomycin does not require re-dosing given its long half-life. We recommend clinicians consider re-dosing earlier than specified in Table II if there is excessive intraoperative blood loss (e.g. >1500 mL). Aminoglycosides and vancomycin should not be re-dosed in this setting.
3. Timing of the pre-operative antibiotic dose: Guidelines recommend that pre-operative antibiotics be administered ................
