Efficacy of cefoperazone and sulbactam as a surgical antibiotic in hip surgery
Surgical site infections (SSI's) following hip surgery can lead to prolonged hospitalization, increased morbidity and mortality and increased financial burden to patients. A total of 192 patients were enrolled in the study on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Surgical site was monitored based on the guidelines issued by the Scottish Centre for Infection and Environmental Health. The wound was checked on the 3rd, 6th, 12th and 30th days postoperatively. Out of 192 enrolled patients, only 12 (6.25%) patients were found to be affected with surgical site infection. Higher infection rate was found in patients with ASA score greaterThan 2 (27.27 %), patients with risk index 2 (30.77 %), diabetic patients (19.05%) and smoker patients (17.95 %). Also higher infection rate was found for surgery having longer duration. Cefoperazone and sulbactam was found to be effective prophylactic antibiotic in hip surgery.
