Executive 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. Cir Esp (Engl Ed). 2021 Jan;99(1):11-26. English, Spanishhttp://hdl.handle.net/10668/16032Antibiotic prophylaxis in surgery is one of the most effective measures for preventing surgical site infection, although its use is frequently inadequate and may even increase the risk of infection, toxicities and antimicrobial resistance. As a result of advances in surgical techniques and the emergence of multidrug-resistant organisms, the current guidelines for prophylaxis need to be revised. The 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 in surgery 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 infectionAnti-Bacterial AgentsAntibiotic ProphylaxisSurgical Wound InfectionDrug Resistance, Multiple, BacterialAnti-Infective Agentsresearch article32736791Restricted AccessProfilaxis AntibióticaInfeccionesEnfermedades TransmisiblesAntibacterianosInfección de la Herida Quirúrgica10.1016/j.ciresp.2020.03.0222173-5077http://diposit.ub.edu/dspace/bitstream/2445/181718/1/DelToro_2021.pdf
