Abstract

Backgrounds: Can Tho City Children's Hospital has been applying antibiotics for surgical prophylaxis for a long time but there has not been an official document guiding the use of antibiotics. On that basis, recognizing the urgency of studying the situation of antibiotic use for surgical prophylaxis in the Surgical Department, this article examines patient characteristics, characteristics of drug use and results of medical record recording for prophylactic antibiotics in the Surgical Department. Objectives: To survey patient characteristics, characteristics of antibiotic use for surgical prophylaxis and errors  in recording the use of prophylactic antibiotics in medical records at the Department of Surgery, Can Tho City Children's Hospital. Materials and methods:   cross-sectional descriptive study on 763 medical records of surgical patients at the surgical department of Can Tho City Children's Hospital from 9/2022 to 3/2023.
