Abstract:
A consensus conference on antibiotic prophylaxis in a surgical environment, organized in December, 1992 by the French Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Society, allows assessing the usefulness, safety, cost and indications of antibiotic prophylaxis by answering the major questions asked: Which surgery should benefit from antibiotic prophylaxis? What are the practical modalities of prescription? What are the reasons of the choice? What is the economic and environmental impact of antibiotic prophylaxis in surgery?
