Surgical site infections are reduced by appropriate and timely antimicrobial prophylaxis. Consensus guidelines recommend that antimicrobial infusion begin within 60 min prior to creation of the incision. An internal audit of our institution suggested poor guideline compliance. We hypothesized that the addition of a oral antibiotic verification to the routine preoperative patient identification, operation, and surgical site verification would increase compliance. To this end, we compared compliance with the guidelines before and after the addition of a verification of antibiotic administration to the routine preoperative protocol.
