Primary Prevention
Antimicrobial Prophylaxis
- Staphylococcus aureus, prophylaxis
- 1. Prophylaxis for coronary artery bypass graft-associated acute mediastinitis[1]
- 1.1 Methicillin susceptible staphylococcus aureus (MSSA)
- Preferred regimen: A first- or second-generation Cephalosporin is recommended for prophylaxis in patients without MRSA colonization.
- 1.2 Methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
- Preferred regimen: Vancomycin alone or in combination with other antibiotics to achieve broader coverage is recommended for prophylaxis in patients with proven or suspected MRSA colonization
- Note (1): Preoperative antibiotics should be administered to all patients to reduce the risk of mediastinitis in cardiac surgery.
- Note (2): The use of intranasal Mupirocin is reasonable in nasal carriers of Staphylococcus aureus.
