摘要: Objective To compare wound infection, revision rates and hospital stay after major lower limb amputation between patients receiving 24 hours versus 5 days of prophylactic antibiotics. Methods The outcomes a consecutive series 40 amputations in short 24-hour course combined antibiotics (flucloxacillin/vancomycin + gentamicin/ciproxin metronidazole) were retrospectively analysed. Following this further group studied prospectively following the institution 5-day regime using same Results 2 groups similar terms demographics, vascular risk factors level amputation. antibiotic led to significant reduction infection (5% vs. 22.5%, P = 0.023) reduced length (22 34 days, P = 0.001). Revision (2.5% 10%) but did not reach statistical significance (P = 0.36). More prospective operated on by trainee. (77.5% 55% P = 0.033). Conclusions This data supports use prolonged appears reduce stump leading shorter in-hospital stay.
