Abstract:
A patient with craniomaxillofacial (CMF) trauma often receives consultations from multiple medical and surgical services. Antibiotics are sometimes prescribed without consistent evidence. This article reviews current literature regarding antibiotic prophylaxis of patients with CMF fractures. This article also presents the guidelines for the appropriate use of antibiotics for patients with CMF fractures at 2 level I trauma centers.
