Comparison of single-dose cefmetazole and cefotetan prophylaxis in women undergoing primary caesarean section

R P Galask et al. J Antimicrob Chemother. 1989 Apr.

Abstract

The efficacies of a single 2 g intra-operative iv dose of cefmetazole or cefotetan in women undergoing non-elective Caesarean section were compared. Thirty-six women (18 in each group) completed the double-blind protocol. Both antibiotics were equally effective as agents for prophylaxis of post-Caesarean infections. Combined data suggest that routine multi-dose antibiotic prophylaxis regimens could be replaced by a single dose regimen.
