French cardiac surgery centers adhere more closely to antibiotic prophylaxis guidelines than foreign centers, particularly regarding timing and duration. French centers favor cephalosporins, while foreign centers use broader combinations and longer durations, potentially indicating varied adherence to best practices in antibiotic prophylaxis.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pharmacology

Context:

  • Antibiotic prophylaxis is crucial in cardiac surgery to prevent surgical site infections.
  • Prescription patterns can vary significantly between different healthcare systems and countries.
  • Understanding these variations is key to optimizing antibiotic stewardship.

Purpose:

  • To compare antibiotic prophylaxis prescription patterns in French and foreign cardiac surgery centers.
  • To assess adherence to recommended timing, duration, and choice of prophylactic agents.

Summary:

  • A survey of 64 French and 70 foreign centers revealed differences in antibiotic prophylaxis practices.
  • French centers initiated prophylaxis at anesthesia induction, while some foreign centers used premedication.

  • Prophylaxis duration exceeded 48 hours in 11% of foreign centers but none in France.
  • Second-generation cephalosporins were more common in France (84%) than abroad (49%).
  • Combination therapy and glycopeptide use were less frequent in France.

    • Impact:

    • French recommendations appear to positively influence antibiotic choice in prophylaxis.
    • Prophylaxis duration in many non-French European centers may be unnecessarily prolonged.
    • Findings highlight areas for improvement in international antibiotic stewardship for cardiac surgery.
