As a result of advances in surgical techniques and the emergence of multidrug-resistant organisms, the current guidelines for prophylaxis need to be revised. La Sociedad Española de Enfermedades Infecciosas (Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology) (SEIMC) together with the Asociación Española de Cirujanos (Spanish Association of Surgeons) (AEC) have revised and updated the recommendations for antibiotic prophylaxis to adapt them to any type of surgical intervention and to current epidemiology. This document gathers together the recommendations on antimicrobial prophylaxis in the various procedures, with doses, duration, prophylaxis in special patient groups, and in epidemiological settings of multidrug resistance to facilitate standardized management and the safe, effective and rational use of antibiotics in elective surgery.enAntibiotic prophylaxisInfección de localización quirúrgicaInfection preventionPrevención de la infecciónProcedimientos quirúrgicosProfilaxis antibióticaSurgical proceduresSurgical site infectionAntibiotic ProphylaxisCommunicable DiseasesConsensusHumansSurgeonsSurgical Wound InfectionExecutive summary of the Consensus Document of the Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology (SEIMC) and of the Spanish Association of Surgeons (AEC) in antibiotic prophylaxis in surgery.research article32709452open access10.1016/j.eimc.2020.02.0172529-993Xhttps://docusalut.com/bitstream/20.500.13003/11435/1/cir_esp_2021-99-1-11.pdf
