Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
Cosmetic surgery is a unique discipline of medicine focused on enhancing appearance through surgical and medical techniques. Cosmetic surgery can be performed on all areas of the head, neck and body. Cosmetic surgical principles are used by plastic surgeon to improve overall appearance of the body and for a better outcome of the reconstructive procedures. Antibiotic prophylaxis is always indicated in microsurgery, prosthetic surgery, incisional hernias, clean non-prosthetic osteoarticular surgery and contaminated procedures such as oral cavity or genitourinary system. To monitor, evaluate and suggest modifications in the prescriptions as to improve patient care and make it reasonable and effective, prescribing pattern assessment plays an important role. The intent of this study is to analyse the prescribing pattern of antibiotics used for surgical prophylaxis in different plastic surgeries. Among 350 patients, 86 % patients were operated surgically. Aminoglycosides, III generation Cephalosporins, Penicillins & Beta-lactamase inhibitors were frequently prescribed class of antibiotics. 66 % were males and 24 % were females. 180 prescriptions were encountered to have 5-8 drugs per prescription. In infectious disease management and prevention, antibiotics play a key component. Clinical Pharmacist plays a vital role in proper selection of antibiotics in pre and post operative patients.
