[Intraoperative antibiotic perfusion. Control parameters]

Abstract

The results of a randomized study conducted over a group of 30 patients for reconstructive vascular surgery with implantation of a prosthetic arterial graft are presented. Fifteen patient underwent a short term prophylaxis with a single intravenous dose of tobramycin and lincomycin. A group of 15 other patients (control group) didn't undergo any antibiotical treatments. Resulting data from this study appear to confirm the utility of this administration form and its validity against postoperative surgical infections.
