| Popis: | antibiotics are frequently administered prematurely in relation to the surgical incision and we surmise that inappropriate timing of antibiotic administration occurs for at least two reasons. First, the anesthesiologists want to expeditiously complete the antibiotic administration enabling them to concentrate on other tasks such as intubation, regional block administration, and patient positioning. Second, anesthesiologists do not want to forget to give the antibiotics prior to incision. As a consequence, we have added the question “antibiotics given?” to the verbal checklist performed in the operating room immediately prior to the surgical incision. The circulating nurse will ask all present in the operating room to confirm that this is the correct patient, procedure, surgical site, and that the antibiotics were given. At our institution, this procedure provides another reminder pertaining to antibiotic administration. We believe that a formal verbal checklist considering antibiotics, which involves everyone immediately prior to the incision, will mitigate the incidence of untimely or total lack of antibiotic administration. |
