Abstract

Objective: To identify the practice of surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis adopted by professionals working in the operating room. Method: A descriptive study with a quantitative approach was conducted in 30 surgical center professionals located in the Northwest of Paraná, Brazil. Data collection occurred in 2012 by direct observation. For analysis, we used descriptive statistics. Results: It was found that, in 81 (81%) surgeries, clean, potentially contaminated, and contaminated, surgical antibiotic prophylaxis was performed. However, in most of them (54/66.6%), the antibiotic was administered within 1 hour before the surgical incision. In addition, in six (18.1%) potentially contaminated surgery and one (33%) contaminated, where its use was necessary, the antimicrobial was not used. Conclusion: It was evident that this practice violates the current recommendations, which affects their effectiveness in preventing surgical site infection and compromises patient safety.
