Prophylactic antibiotics
• Prophylaxis with antibiotics has decreased the
high incidence of wound infection after head and
neck operations that involve incisions through oral
or pharyngeal mucosa.
• Prophylactic administration of antibiotics can
decrease postoperative morbidity, shorten
hospitalization, and reduce overall costs
attributable to infections.
Prophylactic antibiotics
• Many antibiotics require a single dose given
within 30 minutes of skin incision to provide
adequate tissue concentration throughout the
operation.
• Additional doses during the procedure are
advisable if surgery is prolonged (i. e, >4 h),
major blood loss occurs, or an antimicrobial with
a short half-life is used
The aim of prophylaxis
• The aim of prophylaxis is to augment host defense
mechanisms at the time of bacterial invasion,.
• Prophylaxis is an attempt to attack organisms
before they have a chance to induce infection.
• Previous surgery (i. e, scarring) and radiation
injury decrease host defenses.
• Likewise, certain medical conditions, such as
diabetes mellitus or HIV, predispose the patient to
infection because of diminished host response.
Choosing an antibiotic for prophylaxis
•
•
•
•
Choosing an antibiotic for prophylaxis is multifactorial and should be based on the following:
Type of operation
Kinetics and toxicity of the drugs
Microbiologic characteristics of the operative site
Antibiotic sensitivities specific to the particular
hospital environment
Choosing an antibiotic for
prophylaxis
• If a number of drugs appear equally acceptable
for prophylaxis, the agent least likely to be
used for definitive therapy in postoperative
wound infection should be chosen.
• This strategy should minimize the selection of
organisms resistant to valuable therapeutic
agents.
Choosing an antibiotic for
prophylaxis
• The regimen chosen should be compatible with
findings from the hospital's infection control
wound surveillance report.
• This regimen is particularly important in hospitals
with high incidence of infection with methicillinresistant organisms (eg, S aureus [MRSA], S
epidermidis [MRSE]) or with newly vancomycinresistant organisms.
CLASSIFICATION OF OPERATION
Class Definition
• Clean Operations
in which no inflammation is encountered .
The respiratory, alimentary or genitourinary tracts
are not entered.
There is no break in aseptic operating theatre
technique.
Non contaminated head and neck
surgery
• Non contaminated surgery refers to violation
of prepared skin only and no mucosal
exposure or incision (eg, neck dissection,
parotidectomy, thyroidectomy).
Non contaminated head and neck
surgery
• Clean surgical procedures are those in which no
infection exists prior to surgery.
• During surgery, sterility of the wound is
maintained.
• Following closure of the wound at completion of
surgery, the wound is never again exposed to
direct contact with bacteria.
• The risk of postoperative wound infection under
these circumstances is less than 5%.
CLASSIFICATION OF OPERATION
Class Definition
Clean-contaminated Operations
in which the respiratory, alimentary or
genitourinary tracts are entered
but without significant spillage.
CLASSIFICATION OF OPERATION
Class Definition
Contaminated Operations
where acute inflammation (without pus) is encountered.
or where there is visible contamination of the wound.
Examples include gross spillage from a hollow viscus during the
operation
or compound/open injuries operated on within four hours.
CLASSIFICATION OF OPERATION
Class Definition
Dirty Operations:
In the presence of pus.
where there is a previously perforated hollow
viscus,
or compound/open injuries more than four
hours old.

•
Head and neck surgery - A Antibiotic prophylaxis is recommended
•
Head and neck surgery - clean C Antibiotic prophylaxis is not recommended
There is no evidence of effectiveness from RCTs
•
Ear surgery - clean A Antibiotic prophylaxis is not recommended There is no
evidence of effectiveness from RCTs
•
Nose or sinus surgery C Antibiotic prophylaxis is not recommended There is
evidence of no effectiveness from RCTs
•
Tonsillectomy C Antibiotic prophylaxis is not recommended There is no
evidence of effectiveness of prophylaxis from RCTs. The cited trials are of
treatment for seven days after tonsillectomy, not prophylaxis.
ADMINISTRATION OF INTRAVENOUS
PROPHYLACTIC ANTIBIOTICS
Prophylaxis should be started preoperatively in most
circumstances
ideally within 30 minutes of the induction of
anesthesia.
ADMINISTRATION OF INTRAVENOUS
PROPHYLACTIC ANTIBIOTICS
Antibiotic prophylaxis should be administered
immediately before or during a procedure.
Prophylactic antibiotics should be administered
intravenously.
The single dose of antibiotic for prophylactic use is,
in most circumstances, the same as would be used
therapeutically.
ADMINISTRATION OF INTRAVENOUS
PROPHYLACTIC ANTIBIOTICS
An additional dose of prophylactic agent is not
indicated in adults, unless there is blood loss of up
to 1500 ml during surgery or haemodilution of up
to 15 ml/kg.
Fluid replacement bags should not be primed with
prophylactic antibiotics because of the potential
risk of contamination and calculation errors.
Duration of Perioperative Antibiotic
Use
1. Prophylactic perioperative antibiotics
should be started prior to skin incision for
maximal benefit.
Duration of Perioperative Antibiotic
Use
2. There is no advantage to continuation of
perioperative antibiotics beyond 24 to 48
hours postoperatively has ever been
demonstrated.
Duration of Perioperative Antibiotic
Use
The possible exception to this is
metronidazole;
• because metronidazole may enter abscess
spaces better than other antibiotics.
• its prolonged use has been associated with
less severe postoperative infections in one
study.
Prophylactic Antibiotic Regimens
for Major Clean-Contaminated
1. Clindamycin: 600 mg IV within 1 hour of surgery, 4
additional doses Q6H following surgery.
The antibiotic may alternatively be given for a full 48
hours postoperatively.
there is no compelling evidence that the additional 24
hours confers any additional benefit.
Prophylactic Antibiotic Regimens
for Major Clean-Contaminated
2. Augmentine: 1.5 grams IV within 1 hour of
surgery .
and 8 additional doses at 6-hour intervals
following surgery.
Prophylactic Antibiotic Regimens
for Major Clean-Contaminated
3. Cefazolin: 2.0 grams IV within 1 hour of surgery.
and 3 postoperative doses at 8-hour intervals.
This regimen may be extended to a total of 48 hours
postoperatively.
Prophylactic Antibiotic Regimens
for Major Clean-Contaminated
4. Cefazolin/metronidazole: cefazolin 1 gm IV 1 hour
prior to surgery
then 1 gram IV every 8 hours postoperatively for a total
of 6 doses.
and metronidazole 900 mg IV 1 hour prior to surgery
then 900 mg IV every 8 hours postoperatively for a
total of 6 doses.
ENT SURGERY
Antibiotic prophylaxis is recommended
in:
• A – Head and neck surgery (cleancontaminated/contaminated)
•
•
•
•
•
Antibiotic prophylaxis is not recommended in:
A – Ear surgery (clean)
C – Head and neck surgery (clean)
C – Nose or sinus surgery
C – Tonsillectomy
Contaminated head and neck
surgery
• Contaminated surgery refers to transmucosal
operations (eg, composite resection,
glossectomy, maxillectomy).
• Saliva contains 108 bacteria per milliliter, 90%
of which are anaerobic. Ninety-six percent of
wound infections in the head and neck are
polymicrobial.
Contaminated head and neck
surgery
• Organisms involving oropharyngeal flora
included:
• anaerobic organisms (Bacteroides, 76%)
• gram-negative rods (eg, Escherichia coli and
Klebsiella, Serratia, and Proteus species)
• gram-positive organisms (ie, Staphylococcus,
Streptococcus).
Contaminated head and neck
surgery
• Clindamycin (600 mg PO/IV q8h for 4 doses) is the
recommended antibiotic to prevent anaerobic wound
contamination in extensive surgeries of the head and neck.
• Appropriate antibiotic choices also include a combination
of ampicillin and sulbactam (3 g IV followed by 1.5 g q8h
for 3 doses)
• combination Ancef and Flagyl.
• As an oral mouth rinse, use of clindamycin (75-mg caps
stirred in 8 oz of tap water) or chlorhexidine (Peridex)
provides rapid and sustained reductions in the
concentrations of aerobic and anaerobic oral flora.
Facial fractures
• Open fractures have an increased incidence
of infection in the absence of antibiotic
prophylaxis when compared to closed or
open fractures treated with prophylactic
antibiotics.
Facial fractures
• Antibiotic prophylaxis significantly reduce the
incidence of postoperative infections in facial
fractures, especially mandible fractures of the body.
• The infection rates in zygoma fractures, LeFort
fractures, and mandibular subcondylar fractures are
similar.
Disadvantages of antibiotics
• It promotes antibiotic resistance and contributes to
super infection.
• Antibiotic use is also costly and associated with
allergic reactions, toxic reactions, and adverse
effects
• The use of antibiotics may encourage laxity of
good surgical technique.
