SLOVENIAN GUIDELINES ON ANTIBIOTIC PROPHYLAXIS APPLICATION IN NEUROSURGICAL OPERATIONS
Keywords:
antibiotic prophylaxis, postoperative infection, craniotomies, spinal operations, liquor drainage system, penetrating head injuries, antibiotic resistanceAbstract
Postoperative infections increase morbidity and mortality of patients undergoing neurosurgical operations. Correct application of prophylactic antibiotics before, during and after surgery is therefore crucial. In this manuscript we present the first Slovenian guidelines that give details on recommended prophylactic regimen and its correct dosing for different types of neurosurgical operations.
