Summary: | Background: Clinical pathway recommend the use of short-term prophylaxis antibiotics for
cesarean section. Long-term antibiotics or multiple doses was found in clinical practice.
There are differences in the mode of administration and the number of doses
administered at the site of the researcher.
Objective: To determine the effectiveness of short-term antibiotic prophylaxis in cesarean
section appropriate to clinical pathway in the prevention of surgical site infection (ssi), the
incidence of fever, dysuria events, length of stay, as well as conclude a local clinical
evidence based.
Methodology: Randomized clinical trial. The study subjects who underwent cesarean
section and meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria in the period July 2013 to January
2014 divided into a test group (n = 52) who received ampicillin 2 gram pre and postcesarean
section, and a control group (n = 54) who received ampicillin 2 gram pre
cesarean section and 1 gram every 8 hours for 6 times. Observed on days 3 and 10 postcesarean
section. The primary outcomes assessed were the incidence of surgical wound
infection based on the criteria of surgical site infection from Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention. Secondary outcomes assessed were the incidence of fever, dysuria
events, length of stay. Homogeneity analysis were conducted on subject. Outcome
analysis performed bivariate with t test and chi squared test.
Results: A total of 106 subjects can be analyzed. SSI events in the test group at day 3
was 3.8% (n = 52) and control group was 1.84% (n = 54) with p>0.05 RR 2.077 (95% CI
0.194 to 22.219). SSI on day 10 of 7.7% (n = 52) in the test group versus 9.3% (n = 54) in
controls with p<0.05 RR 0.831 (CI 95%, 0.236 to 2.924). Fever events on day 3 by 5.8%
in the test group versus 3.7% in controls with p>0.05 RR 1.558 (95% CI 0.271 to 8.948)
and on day 10 was 3.8% versus 3.7 % with p>0.05 RR 1.038 (95% CI 0.152 to 7.102).
Dysuria not found on day 3 and on day 10 found 5.8% in the test group versus 11.1%
with p>0.05 RR 0.519 (IK95% 0.137 to 1.968). Length of stay after cesarean section for
3.21 ± 0.412 days in the test group and 3.26 ± 0.442 days in the control group with
p>0.05 (95% CI -0.213 - 0.117).
Conclusion: There is no significant difference in the incidence of surgical wound
infections, the incidence of fever, dysuria, length of stay between short-term prophylaxis
antibiotics ampicillin appropriate to clinical pathway and long-term or multiple doses
prophylaxis antibiotics. Short term antibiotics prophylaxis are more efficiently with the
same effectiveness in preventing outcomes research.
