Abstract | Background: Implementation of guidelines in daily clinical practice is often suboptimal, mainly due to doctors' poor compliance with them. Perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis (PAP) is many times administered in patients undergoing elective surgery without proper indication or for longer time than needed. Aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a simple intervention on the compliance of the medical staff with the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) guidelines concerning PAP administration. |
