History of Compliance with Infection Prevention Procedures
Surgery Patients Who Were Given an Antibiotic Within One Hour Before Surgery to Help Prevent Infection
Giving patients antibiotics right before surgery helps to boost the patient's ability to fight off contamination during surgery that could lead to infection. Studies show that patients given antibiotics either more than one hour before or after the first surgical incision is made experience higher rates of infection compared to those who are given antibiotics within one hour before surgery begins.
The compliance level of hospitals which report a small number of cases (fewer than 25) should not be regarded as reliably predicting performance; these hospitals are displayed in italics and include Note 1. "Patients" is the number of patients for which data was submitted. Re-sort the table by clicking on the table headers.

Surgery Patients Who Were Given the Right Kind of Antibiotic to Help Prevent Infection
Choosing the appropriate antibiotic is critical because it must be effective in preventing infections caused by bacteria likely to be present around the surgical site. Antibiotic selection therefore varies depending on the type of surgery. Guidelines for appropriate antibiotic selection have been developed by the CDC.

Surgery Patients Whose Preventative Antibiotics were Stopped Within 24 hours After Surgery
Continuing antibiotics beyond 24 hours after the end of surgery does not offer any additional protection when it comes to preventing infections. But the prolonged use of antibiotics can be associated with other complications and can encourage antibiotic resistance.
