I have a question to put out to you all, I would just like to know what your expereiences are with IV antibiotics and women who have had a C/S as at the hospital in which I work the OB's current trend is to put women who have had Ceasars either elective or emergency on triple AB's for three to five days. The Regieme includes Daily Gentamicin usually 240 mg, Cehpazolin 2g TDS or QID and Flagyl 500 mg TDS, this is usually for 3 Days then they go onto oral Flagyl400mg TDS and oral Cephalexin or sometimes Amoxicilin for a further five to ten days. These are women who are well and healthy who have no real indication for AB's except that they have had surgery,well thats the OB's excuse anyway. So would just like to know what other units are practicing in regards to this and thank you in advance for any feed back you can give me.
