[Antibiotic prophylaxis of early infection in otorhinolaryngology surgery].
The authors draw attention to the urgency of antibiotic prophylaxis of early infection in surgical disciplines and emphasize the main principles of its expedient implementation. In otorhinolaryngology antibiotic prophylaxis proves useful in a number of surgical procedures; the authors submit, however, also examples when they do not consider antibiotic prophylaxis expedient. Among antibiotics used for prophylactic administration they consider at present for the majority of ENT operations cephalosporins of the first generation most useful. Their spectrum is roughly equal to the action of penicillin, oxacillin and ampicillin combined. When selecting an antibiotic, however, always ain individual approach must be used and its selection must be adjusted to the epidemiological situation in different areas and health institutions. The prophylactic use of different types of antibiotics cannot have permanent validity, we have to foresee rotation of antibiotics and the introduction of further new preparations.
