Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
[Comparison between two antibiotic schemes in relation to surgical site infection in children: a randomized clinical trial].
There are few randomized clinical trials that prove the effectiveness of antibiotic prophylaxis (AP) to prevent pediatric surgical site infections (SSI). We undertook this study to determine the effectiveness of AP vs. traditional scheme of antibiotics. ⋯ AP administered 2 h before incision and continuing for 24 h significantly decreases the risk of SSI compared to CG in clean-contaminated procedures.
