  Background: Antimicrobial Stewardship and The Start Smart – Then Focus strategy provide guidelines aimed at improving the increasing trend of antibiotic resistance. The aim of this study was to assess whether antibiotics were being prescribed at Royal Hampshire County Hospital (a district general hospital), in accordance with the hospital’s and the NICE guidelines and whether this followed the Start Smart – Then Focus approach.   Methods: During November 2016, medical notes of 12 randomly selected in-patients of Royal Hampshire County Hospital on 45 antibiotics, were used to measure the dynamics of their prescriptions.   Results: 91% of the 45 prescriptions were in accordance with hospital guidelines, 82% of cases had appropriate samples sent before commencing antibiotics, 5% out of 27% had a planned switch from intravenous administration to oral (the remaining 73% were initially started on oral regimes) and 80% had planned stop dates.   Conclusion: Appropriate samples, stop dates, planning and documentation in patient notes must be improved with regards to antibiotic use.

A Prospective Study

Introduction: Traditionally antibiotics have been advised pre and post operatively in surgery for gall bladder. The knowledge about usage of a single dose prophylactic preoperative antibiotic in comparison to conventional usage of perioperative antibiotics in laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is limited. Hence, this study focuses on comparing the efficacy of a single dose prophylactic antibiotic versus the usage of pre and postoperative antibiotics in laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. Method: This is a prospective study conducted in the General Surgery department of Apollo Institute of Medical Sciences and Research. Over 192 consecutive patients subjected for laparoscopic Cholecystectomy were included in study. They were divided in two groups (A&B) after applying exclusion. 74 patients in group A were given single dose of preoperative prophylactic antibiotic. No further post-operative antibiotics were given. 78 patients in group B were given both pre and postoperative antibiotics. Infective complications and cost constraints were compared between both the groups. Statistical analysis was done using chi-square test wherever necessary. Results: there is no significant difference in the rate of incidence of wound infection in both the groups. Age and gender had no significant association for SSI. The overall cost of Group B was found to be significantly higher than Group A. Conclusion: Usage of single dose prophylactic preoperative antibiotics with no further post operative antibiotics would be sufficient to prevent surgical site infection in uncomplicated laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.
