Objetivo:  determinar si los esquemas antimicrobianos utilizados para profilaxis en cirugía corresponden a recomendados por Guías Internacionales de Tratamiento de Enfermedades Infecciosas; así como conocer los esquemas antimicrobianos utilizados, estimar el costo de la quimioprofilaxis y comparar con los resultados obtenidos en un estudio similar realizado en el mismo servicio en el año 2005.  Materiales y métodos:  Estudio descriptivo, observacional, retrospectivo donde se seleccionaron todas las historias clínicas de pacientes de &#8804;15 años de edad sometidos a apendicectomía, con diagnóstico posquirúrgico de apendicitis congestiva o flegmonosa, desde enero a diciembre del 2022. Se elaboró una planilla electrónica donde se cargaron los siguientes datos: antibiótico utilizado, dosis, número de dosis y momento de la administración.  Resultados:  53 pacientes &#8804; de 15 años fueron sometidos a apendicectomía, de los cuales 21 llenaban los criterios de inclusión. Fue utilizado Amoxicilina/Sulbactam en 19/21. El número total de dosis administradas fue de 68 dosis y la media de 3,3±1,9 dosis; solo en 8 de los pacientes se administró el antimicrobiano profiláctico en el tiempo correcto; solo 1 paciente recibió el esquema correcto, 1 sola dosis, 1 hora antes del inicio de la cirugía. El costo de la profilaxis antimicrobiana por paciente fue de 15,7 USD.  Conclusión:  Este trabajo nos permitió verificar la falta de aplicación de guías en el uso de antimicrobianos en la profilaxis quirúrgica, lo cual demuestra: i) la necesidad de revisar y estandarizar la conducta de prescripción relacionada en profilaxis quirúrgica, ii) la importancia de elaborar y socializar una guía de manejo de antimicrobianos y iii) el monitoreo de su implementación.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT  Introduction:  Surgical site infections (SSIs) are among the most frequent healthcare-associated infections (HCIs). Antibiotic prophylaxis administered during the preoperative period contributes to preventing SSIs.  Objective:  to determine if the antimicrobial regimens used for prophylaxis in surgery correspond to those recommended by International Guidelines for the Treatment of Infectious Diseases; as well as knowing the antimicrobial regimens used, estimating the cost of chemoprophylaxis and comparing the current results with those obtained in a similar study carried out in the same service in 2005.  Materials and methods: This was a descriptive, observational and retrospective study where we reviewed all medical records of patients &#8804;15 years of age undergoing appendectomy, with a post-surgical diagnosis of congestive or phlegmonous appendicitis, from January to December 2022. An electronic spreadsheet was prepared where the following data were uploaded: antibiotic used, dose, number of doses and time of administration.  Results:  53 patients &#8804; 15 years of age underwent appendectomy, of which 21 met the inclusion criteria. Amoxicillin/Sulbactam was used in 19/21. The total number of doses administered was 68 doses and the average was 3.3±1.9 doses; only in 8 of the patients was the prophylactic antimicrobial administered at the correct time; only 1 patient received the correct regimen, 1 single dose, 1 hour before the start of surgery. The cost of antimicrobial prophylaxis per patient was 15.7 USD.  Conclusions: This study allowed us to verify the lack of application of existing guidelines in the use of antimicrobials in surgical prophylaxis, which demonstrates: i) the need to review and standardize prescription behavior related to surgical prophylaxis, ii) the importance of developing and disseminating an antimicrobial management guide and iii) the need to monitor its implementation.]]></p></abstract>
