Surgical Antibiotics: Essential Guidelines for Optimal Use in Perioperative Care
Turn “just give the cefazolin” into precise, evidence-based antibiotic stewardship. This course walks nurse anesthesiologists through choosing the right drug for the right case, nailing timing and redosing (including obesity, renal disease, and long cases), and balancing SSI prevention with the very real risks of resistance and allergy. You’ll come away with clear, ERAS-aligned strategies to coordinate seamlessly with the surgical team, protect your patients from infection, and use antibiotics wisely in an era of rising MDROs.
