The use of antibiotic prophylaxis in emergency cesarean section has become the standard of care. Concern over fetal exposure has been the reason that antibiotics are traditionally given post cord clamping, but this does not allow adequate antibiotic levels in maternal blood and tissue to be achieved at the stage of incision and during surgery. We evaluated by bioassay maternal and fetal serum and placental ceftriaxone concentrations following the intravenous administration of 1.0 g of ceftriaxone upon the decision to perform cesarean section. The preoperative prophylaxis with ceftriaxone resulted in adequate protective levels in the mother and very low fetal blood levels.
