These guidelines were developed jointly by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP), the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), the Surgical Infection Society (SIS), and the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA). This work represents an update to the previously published ASHP Therapeutic Guidelines on Antimicrobial Prophylaxis in Surgery, as well as guidelines from IDSA and SIS. The guidelines are intended to provide practitioners with a standardized…

A Study on the Rational Use of Antimicrobial Prophylaxis in Surgery
TLDR
Comparing the use of surgical antibiotic prophylaxis in a tertiary hospital with two international guidelines, American Society of Health-System Pharmacists and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons, shows that continuous audits, physician education, providing written protocols and other interventions can improve the rationality of use.
An Audit of Perioperative Antimicrobial Prophylaxis: Compliance with the International Guidelines
TLDR
Assessment of the use of antibiotics in a tertiary care center according to the recommendation of ASHP guideline revealed that most of the prescribed antibiotics for surgical prophylaxis are not in accordance with standard treatment guideline.
Surgical Antimicrobial Prophylaxis—Where Do We Stand?
TLDR
Inclusion of certain additional parameters like weight-based doses and consideration for other comorbidities will help in patient- and procedure-specific SAP in NCDC SAP guideline, which helps in rational use of antimicrobials.

Antibiotic Prescription Practices for Surgical Prophylaxis in India: An Observational Study.
TLDR
Injudicious use of broad-spectrum antibiotics for surgical prophylaxis is prevalent in low- and middle-income countries such as India and poses the risk of emergence of resistant microorganisms in these areas and their potential spread across the borders.
Essential Japanese guidelines for the prevention of perioperative infections in the urological field: 2015 edition
TLDR
These guidelines are to be applied only for preoperatively non‐infected low‐risk patients and in cases with preoperative infection or bacteriuria that can cause a surgical site infection or urinary tract infection after surgery, patients must receive adequate preoperative treatment based on the individual situation.
Assessment of implementability of an adapted clinical practice guideline for surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis at a tertiary care university hospital
TLDR
The ADAPTE tool is a practical and successful tool for production of CPGs and the GLIA tool is useful for assessing and preparing the finalized adapted CPG for the transition from the production stage to the implementation stage.
Impact of Antimicrobial Stewardship Interventions on Appropriateness of Surgical Antibiotic Prophylaxis: How to Improve
TLDR
