Evolution of antimicrobial prophylaxis in obstetric surgery

M C Orlandi et al. J Chemother. 1991 Jan.

Abstract

Problems concerning antimicrobial prophylaxis in obstetric surgery are reviewed from the first experiences with multiple-dose treatments to the new short-term prophylaxis. With the purpose to evaluate the effectiveness of a short-term scheme, a controlled population of 134 obstetric patients was treated with a double dose of 2 g i.m. of cefotetan. Clinically important infectious complications were not observed.
