ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate effectiveness of short-course administration of prophylactic antibiotics in elective cesarean section compared with multiple, long-course administration.METHODS:
Forty women undergoing elective cesarean section had prophylactic antibiotics administration preoperatively and 2 times more within 24 hours after operation. Forty women was control group who had antibiotics administration postoperatively 5 or 6 times with multiple regimens and 7 days more per oral. Postpartum complications including febrile morbidity, endometritis, wound infection, urinary tract infection were recorded, as were the duration of hospital stay and need for therapeutic antibiotics.RESULTS:
Postpartum complications including febrile morbidity, endometritis, wound infection and urinary tract infection had no difference between two groups significantly. Also, their hospital stay had no difference significantly.CONCLUSION:
Prophylactic and short-course antibiotics administration in elective cesarean section is considered to have no difference in comparison with multiple, long-course post-operative administration. Short- course prophylactic antibiotics administration will reduce side effect of drugs and resistance. Also it will provide better cost effectiveness.
