Abstract

We carried out a retrospective, longitudinal, descriptive study on the incidence of the postsurgery sepsis of the wound in patients operated at the Orthopedic and Traumatic service of the Military Hospital “Dr. Mario Muñoz Monroy” of Matanzas, during the first semester of 2006, with whom there were used presurgery and transsurgery doses of Cefazoline with prophylactic purposes to know the efficacy of its use and its relation with some clinico-epidemiologic characteristics of the surgery. For that we reviewed the records of all the patients operated during the period, and found a 3,8, proportionally related with the surgical time, the contamination level of the surgical wound and the seriousness of the surgery, showing the antibiotic use effective as it was registered in the protocols of the service.
