157,871 F for the 15 departments ascertained, 26,123 F in visceral surgery, 13,520 F in urology, 73,741 F in orthopaedics, 569 F in vascular veterinary surgery, 39,720 F in ENT/ophthalmology/periodontics antibiotics and 4,198 F in gynaecology and obstetrics. Consequently, prescription forms were developed and supplied to each surgery department, as well as ATBP kits. In orthopaedics, cefamandole was used over 24 h (188 kits) in ligament plasty and names of sleeping osteotomy, or for 48 h (499 kits) in prosthetic surgery; 24 amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (first line) and 9 clindamycin/gentamicin (second line) single dose kits have been antibiotics prescribed in traumatic indications. From 1.6% to 0.5% in class I, from 6.5% to 4.3% in class II, and from 11% to 8.5% in class III. Specific protocols consisted of 18 ceftriaxone/metronidazole and 48 metronidazole/gentamicin SD kits in oesophagus surgery, 11 ceftriaxone and 17 gentamicin SD kits in biliary endoscopy, 137 metronidazole antidepressants SD kits in proctology and 34 amoxicillin/gentamicin antibiotics pharmacy amoxicillin 500 6 h kits for prevention of endocarditis. In visceral surgery, 9 different kits have been used, depending on the opening (class II) or not (class I) of the digestive tract. Fifteen surgical antibiotics list departments were included in our study and 30 different kits were prepared. A constant follow-up and update of this system, associated with routine audits, should allow the maintenance and possibly the improvement of these results, hence shortening treatment duration. No analysis was carried out for class IV (invigorating treatments). Evaluation of the impact on pain relief prescribing habitsIn our hospital, surgical antibioprophylaxis (ATBP) was too often administered too late, thus raising the infectious risk. In ENT and periodontics, 124 surgical operations required cefazolin single dose kits. Antibiotic stocks of the anaesthesia department were also systematically used, instead of nominal prescriptions of these drugs. retin-a Since the kits have been brought into use, the committee for the protection against nosocomial infections (CLIN) has observed a reduction in the incidence of post-operative infections, according to the Altemeier classification. A protocol describing prescriptions, dispensation estradiol and administration has been presented to physicians and nurses. Both nurses and physicians have greatly appreciated the implementation of this organization. According to the Altemeier classification, 2226 class I, 3151 class II, and 209 class III surgical operations were performed. The difference was statistically significant carisoprodol only for classes I (p < 0.01) and II (p < 0.001), and unchanged for class III (p 0.3). However, these situations were quickly corrected. The cost (over 4 years) of ATBP was quantified. The prescribed kits were systematically appropriate for the surgical interventions. The pharmacy could neither charge antibiotics to each surgical department nor quantify and differentiate ATBP from curative antibiotic therapy. In vascular section, 5 pefloxacin/gentamicin 48 h kits and 1 amoxicillin/clavulanic deluge set 48 h kit were used in contaminated limb amputation, 1 cefamandole 48 h kit in class I surgery and 1 vancomycin 24 h kit (betalactamase antibiotic allergy); in thoracic surgery, 1 cefamandole 24 h kit was used for a thoracic wound. The kits were prepared and distributed by the pharmacy, and comprised boxes containing antibiotics in sufficient quantities to respect the protocols approved by the French Society of Anaesthesia and Resuscitation (SFAR). The advantage in terms of post-operative infections, administration exhaustiveness and stock management is obvious. 797 cefazolin (first line) and 68 clindamycin/gentamicin (second line) single dose kits were used in class I surgery, and 689 amoxicillin/clavulanic acid single dose (SD) kits in class II surgery. From 1998 to 2001, 5586 surgical operations required administration of a kit (second line treatment kits in 5% of cases). Development of surgical antibioprophylaxis kits. 1848 (33%) in visceral surgery; 764 (13.8%) in urology; 802 (14%) in orthopaedics; 13 (0.2%) in vascular and thoracic surgery; 1236 (22%) in ear-nose-throat (ENT), periodontics and ophtalmology, and 923 (17%) in gynaecology and obstetrics. 93% of filled prescriptions forms were spontaneously returned to the pharmacy, the others were obtained during the renewal of kit stocks. In urology, 133 cefotaxime and 20 pefloxacin/gentamicin SD kits were precribed in renal lithiasis, 102 amoxicillin/clavulanic acid SD kits in cystectomy, 27 amoxicillin/gentamicin 6 h kits in endocarditis prevention and 58 cefamandole SD kits in all other indications. In gynaecology and obstetrics, 534 cefazoline and 19 clindamycin/gentamicin (second line) SD kits were used, and 370 doxycyclin SD kits were prescribed in pregnancy termination. In ophthalmology, kits were only prescribed in endophtalmitis (24 ofloxacin/fosfomycin single amount kits), scatter seed replacement or cornea graft (1076 ofloxacin 24 h kits) and cataract surgery in diabetic patients (12 ofloxacin single amount kits). Some departments (orthopaedics and visceral surgery) adapted the protocols to their needs, specifically with regard to treatment duration. The pharmacy and anaesthesia departments therefore set out to standardize surgical ATBP, in order to adapt this treatment to each surgical indication, and particularly in the hartwell of allergy to beta-lactamase antibiotics (second line treatment kits).
