Abstract

Aim: Evaluate the practice of antibioprophylaxis in paediatric surgery at University Hospital of Brazzaville. Materials and methods: The study was a retrospective, cross-sectional and descriptive, during 12-month (January to December 2013) conducted in the operating room of University Hospital of Brazzaville. All patients undergoing scheduled paediatric surgery were included in this study. The parameters analyzed were: ASA class, Alteimer class, duration of surgery, type of antibiotic administered, timing of administration and reinjection of antibiotic. Results: A total of 216 patients were analysed. The average age was 7.57±5.03 years. The ASA I was the most represented in 94.9% of cases. Anaesthesia was general in 89.9% of cases. Surgery was classified as Alteimer I in 68.1% of cases, Alteimer II and III in 26.9% and 5.1% of cases respectively. The indication for antibioprophylaxis was conformed in 54.1% of cases. The most commonly used antibiotics were cefuroxime in 42.3% of cases and ceftriaxone in 31.5% of cases. In 20.7% of cases the antibiotic was administered after the surgical incision. Antibiotic reinjections were not performed. The average duration of the surgery was 99.94±46.36 minutes. The overall compliance (indication, choice of molecule, injection-incision time and reinjections) was 47.1%. Conclusion: In almost half of the cases, antibioprophylaxis did not comply with the recommendations. Consensus between surgeons and anesthesiologists must be reached to develop national protocols for antibioprophylaxis in pediatric surgery.
