Objective To evaluate rational use of antibiotics for hernioplasty in perioperative period by intervention-control study in order to provide a foundation for the clinical antibiotic use and management. Methods The data of the preventive use of antibiotics for hernia patients from January to October, 2010 in perioperative period were collected and compared. Interventions on patients from January to October, 2011 were carried out. Results In the intervention group, the first three antibiotics used were changed from azlocillin, mezlocillin and aztreonam before intervention to cefazolin, clindamycin and azlocillin after intervention. Before intervention, antibiotics were first used after surgery for surgical prophylaxis, while after intervention, antibiotics were first used within 30 minutes before surgery or at the start of induction of anesthesia. The preventive medication time decreased from (3.50±2.07) days to (0.88±1.07) days (t'=14.601, P=0.000), the hospitalization days of post-surgery decreased from (5.17±1.90) days to (3.77±1.61) days (t'=7.313, P=0.000), the cost of antibiotics decreased from (342.39±415.50) yuan to (54.08±80.83) yuan (t'=8.831, P=0.000), the percentage of the cost of antibiotics in expenses for medicine declined from (47.53±25.51)% to (12.49±13.46)% (t'=15.776, P=0.000), and the percentage of the cost of antibiotics in hospitalization expenses declined from (6.59±5.49)% to (1.07±1.35)% (t'=12.662, P=0.000). The difference in inappropriate use of antibiotic drugs before and after prevention, such as choice of preventive drugs, preoperative medication occasion, course of postoperative medication and no indication of drug combination, had statistical significances (P<0.05). Conclusion The intervention-control study shows that the rational use of antibiotics for hernioplasty in perioperative period can be improved, and the average hospitalization days and the cost of antibiotics can be reduced by intervention.
