ABSTRACT
Background and Objectives: Surgical site infections are the third most common type of nosocomial infections (over 70%). In any hospital, perioperative antimicrobial prophylaxis constitutes the bulk of antimicrobial consumption. We need to adapt policies that decrease the incidence of various surgical site infection (SSI) cases. A study conducted under MEDICON health services (pvt. ltd.) are included in our study. During this period, a total of 400 patients participated. 24hrs of antibiotic prophylaxis (CEFTRIAXONE 1g I.V.) was used for the patients during this period. Results: In our study surgical site infection rate is 3.25 % in clean surgeries. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that a short course of perioperative antimicrobial prophylaxis(24hours) are sufficient and efficacious as well as cost-effective for prevention of surgical site infections in clean surgeries in Indian surgical set up.
