Abstract :
Surgery without sepsis remained an unfulfilled goal since Lister’s introduction of antiseptics first in 1867 which made it a realistic objective. Surgical site infections are the most common hospital-acquired infections among surgical patients and are frequent & serious complications of surgical procedures. Surgical site infections are associated with increased antibiotic usage, increased costs, prolonged hospitalization, re-admissions, re-interventions, permanent disability or even death of the patient. Although adequate antibiotic prophylaxis can reduce the risk of surgical site infections, this favours the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. We conducted this study to analyze the pattern of commonly used antibiotics in the Post-operative Surgical Wards in a tertiary care teaching Hospital.
