ABSTRACT

Objective: to describe the practices of perioperative prophylaxis using antibiotics in urologic procedures at Cuban hospitals.
Method: a cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted over May-December, 2009 by application of self-administered questionnaire which assessed the existence of a politic (written document) of prophylactic use and of recommendations for prophylaxis en selected procedures, the moment to administer the initial dose and the potential length of prophylactic regime as well as the antimicrobials used.
Results: there was information from 24 hospitals (36.6 % of the Cuban urology services) including institutions from the eleven provinces (84.6 %). In 17 services there are written politics (70.8 %). Most of them have indications of prophylaxis for assessed procedures and in 100 % of services to prostate transurethral resection, open or laparoscopic surgery including intestine, therapeutical cystoscopy and endoscopic internal urethrotomy. The 29.2 % of services recommended that the onset of prophylaxis be the night before, the 41.7 % 60 minutes before procedure and the 29.2 % during the anesthetic induction. Authors recommended 24 hours-higher outlines in most of procedures, except for the diagnostic or therapeutical cystoscopy. Different antimicrobials or combinations of it are used with predominance of ciprofloxacin and cefazolin.
Conclusion: there is variability in practices of antimicrobials prescription in perioperative prophylaxis in Cuban urology services being necessary a national consensus contributing to improve the quality of fulfilment of this preventive practice.
