RESUMO
Antibiotic prophylaxis plays an important role in the prevention of surgical site infections. For healthcare institutions to receive reimbursement, compliance with current measures introduced by the Surgical Care Improvement Project is required. Anesthesia providers commonly administer prophylactic antibiotics and are in the position to provide valuable input in the perioperative setting. This review provides a summary of the most common antibiotics used in the surgical setting-cefazolin, clindamycin, and vancomycin-and their implications to the anesthesia provider, such as proper dosing, targeting bacteria, and side effects.
